Normally I feel bad when I hear that someone has been struck by a terrible affliction like blindness or leukemia or cottage cheese thighs. But not this time. According to Reuters:
MOSCOW - Dozens of partygoers at an outdoor rave near Moscow last week have lost partial vision after a laser light show burned their retinas, Russian health officials said on Monday.
"They all have retinal burns, scarring is visible on them. Loss of vision in individual cases is as high as 80 percent, and regaining it is already impossible," Kommersant quoted a treating ophthalmologist as saying.
"After three days I decided to go to the hospital. They examined me, asked if I had been at Open Air, and then put me straight in the hospital. I didn't even get to go home and get my stuff," he said.
Oh no! He couldn't even go home to get his stuff? How was he going to make it in the hospital without his precious ecstasy or his precious glow sticks or his oversized pants or his stupid pacifier or his neon headband?
Losing your eyesight at a rave is about as lame as losing your hearing at a Jefferson Starship concert. Or losing your genitals at an Estelle Getty seminar.
How do you explain to your grandchildren why you went blind? I imagine there will be a lot of conversations like this:
Child: Hey grandpa, why did you go blind?
Old Raver: Well, I like really crappy music.
Child: Why do you like crappy music?
Old Raver: Well, I like music that's sooo crappy, that your grandpa had to take a special pill to just be able to listen to it for an extended period of time. That pill is called ecstasy.
Child: Ecsta....what?
Old Raver: It's called ecstasy. And I used to go to these things called "raves." They were so lame and boring that everyone needed tons and tons of drugs and special lights just so we could stand the crappy awful music we liked so much.
Child: Are you a moron grandpa?
Old Raver: Yes, son. Yes I am. Now go find me some of your grandma's pain pills before grandpa goes into withdrawal and stabs you in the eye.
"Losing your eyesight at a rave is about as lame as losing your hearing at a Jefferson Starship concert. Or losing your genitals at an Estelle Getty seminar. "
Or as lame as a "writer" who writes for this gay ass website.
Oh please every X head here needs to stfu, the article was funny. Your computer screen is not a rave, I repeat.... uyah ahroucoi claeen ;a nit h erhi. Didn't catch that? Too busy having your face ruled?
So some poor Russians wanted to have a fun nite and party a little. This does not mean they deserve to go blind. Whoever wrote this article is a miserable, mean, dick who has obviously NEVER been invited to a party and is clearly bitter about it.
One: Take that oversized stick out of your ass. Two: Shut the fuck up about things you know absolutely nothing about. Three: If you can somehow manage to get off of your ass and leave your mom's basement, I suggest that you actually go to a rave, because they're amazing.
Four: It's amazing to me when I find people who can make fun of other people's misfortunes. I don't believe in hell, but I hope you die in the most humiliating way for making fun of those people.
well i do E and i go to raves, and i STILL thought this was funny. i mean, obviously whoever wrote the article is very closed-minded and ignorant, but nonetheless it made me laugh xD

Funny, but if you have never tried e, you should. They're great even at home in front of the tv, but at a Russian rave, I bet they are even better.

Why does the grandpa call his grandson "son" in the story, is there some sort of sick twist, or are you generationally confused?
