Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart Now, Baby
A 25-year old Canadian woman will be on probation for the next three years for actually taking a little piece of her lover's heart while engaged in drunken "rough sex."
OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian man who asked his lover to carve a heart-shaped symbol on his chest during a rough sex game almost died when she accidentally pressed too hard and punctured his heart, a newspaper said on Thursday.
The Winnipeg Free Press said the 25-year-old woman had been sentenced to three years' probation after she pleaded guilty to assaulting the man in February 2007.
There's kinky and then there's stupid. I kind of think this little incident crosses that line. But the man should be a shoo-in for a runner-up position in the Darwin Awards.

The article made me wonder … where is Eliot Spitzer these days?

I hope everyone sees what socialism can do to culture.

I think she got railroaded. It’s not an assault if the "victim" requests that you take the action (whether it be carving a heart or whipping or any other of the "kinky" actions taken by sadists with their masochistic partners). If it is assault, then every practicing sadist who has a masochist partner is liable to arrest and conviction for the same charge. The fact that she wasn’t very good at carving the heart is accidental, not criminal. Granted, as Gaius points out, this incident crosses the line into stupidity (although cutting is not all that unusual in a sado-masochistic relationship), stupidity is not a crime.
