Man Cuts Off His Penis ‘to Stop Him Sinning’
From Expatica:
I was attracted to this story by the headline, obviously. It's sort of hard to turn away from something like that. As I read the story, though, I didn't think I would repost it here until I read the last paragraph.
Yeah, he may have.
And that, mainstream media, is how you get you story reposted in The Globex Corporation Newsletter.

SALAMANCA – A man cut off his own penis and threw it in a toilet ‘so he would stop sinning’.
The 30-year-old was recovering in the Hospital Clinico Universitario in Salamanca in western Spain.
Doctors said his condition was ‘stable’ and he was not in danger of losing his life.
The man, from Salamanca, cut off his penis with a knife on Thursday morning.
The local newspaper La Gaceta reported when relatives called emergency services, he told ambulance workers he did it “so would not sin any more”.
A relative found the man, who has not been named, in the house where they lived in the city and raised the alarm.
He was bleeding heavily.
The newspaper said it was not known if the man’s penis could be sewn back.

There was also a suggestion he may be suffering from psychological problems.
Yeah, he may have.
