Brazilians, Italians and Brits all claim to be the world’s biggest sports fans, but flag-waving and beer-swilling is lightweight stuff compared to this guy’s latest stunt. Looking to show off his patriotism and his excitement for the upcoming Beijing Olympics, a Chinese man named Wei Sheng did the natural thing and jabbed 2008 pushpins into has head, shattering his Guinness record of 1790. You’d think he’d look happier about it.

But Wei isn’t the only one excited about the Games. From the Telegraph:

Another Chinese man had the symbol of the Beijing Olympics tattooed on his forehead, the Games’ mascots on his chest and neck and various other images, including dragons and the Great Wall of China, tattooed all over his body.

I’m no expert on jabbing pins into people’s heads, but is anyone else amazed that this guy doesn’t seem to be bleeding?
