Ouch!!! From The Onion....

RICHMOND, VA—Nine people were torn limb-from-limb and
skewered through the anus with wooden stakes Monday at the
annual Richmond Renaissance Fair.

Organizers boasted that the new "Drawn and Quartered"
demonstration made this year's fair one of the most
authentic and enjoyable ever.

"The skit where we publicly tortured and humiliated
'condemned heretics' gave us by far the most response we've
ever gotten," actor Paul Mitchard said. "Who would have
thought that violence would appeal to people?"

In the skit, people were randomly selected from the
audience, strung up on posts, and read official "charges." A
dirt-encrusted dagger was then used to saw off vital parts
of the condemned. One man's scrotum was cut off, causing his
testicles to fall to the ground. Children in the audience
then tossed the testicles back and forth as the victim
watched.

Participating audience members then had their livers
cut out, cooked, and force-fed to them. The pale and barely
conscious victims were then taken down from their posts and
prepared for the next stage of their torture amid taunts and
bellows from the crowd.

"I loved it," said University of Virginia junior Steve
Ohlemeyer, who attended the fair for the first time Monday.
"It was like being transported back to the real Renaissance.
I got turkey drumsticks at the Ye Olde Grille, threw stones
at the Drench-A-Wench booth, and I even got to see a heretic
forced to eat his own kidney."

Said Richmond-area elementary-school teacher Linda
Rougas: "It was a lot of fun. They picked my husband out of
the crowd, and he thought it was a real kick. When they
eviscerated him, he really got into it, screaming and
begging for his life. So, of course, the kids and I did our
part, too, yelling 'Heretic!' along with the rest of the
crowd."

After more than an hour of torture, participants had
their arms and legs tied to four horses, each of which was
made to pull in a different direction. After the volunteers'
limbs wer

After the volunteers' limbs were torn off, the remaining
disembodied, helpless torsos were fed to packs of ravenous
dogs.

The victims' highly realistic, historically accurate
screams of agony captivated fairgoers.

"I thought it was wonderful," said Herman Kline, who
attended the fair with his wife and three children. "I
enjoyed taunting the condemned, and my children enjoyed
playing with the testicles."

One lucky fair attendee, Mel Bridgeman of Norfolk, VA,
got to be the subject of a special demonstration. Bridgeman
was tied up and laid on his back spread-eagled, his legs
held apart by a short beam roped to a horse. A long wooden
stake was then braced against a rock and inserted just a few
inches into his anus. When the horse was given a snap from
the whip, it bolted, causing Bridgeman to be driven onto the
stake until it thrust out of his mouth.

Though most everyone thought the fair was the most
successful ever, several family members of the killed were
not so enthusiastic.

"My husband and I came to the fair as part of our
honeymoon," Richmond native Jacklyn Welden said. "When he
was stabbed through the heart for blaspheming the Pope, the
fair suddenly wasn't quite so much fun."

"Yea, we try to give people a merry ol' time, we do,"
fair director Todd Burgher said. "Ye can bet yer knickers
we'll be doing it again next year."
