That Was Easy?

Granted, I am no stranger to the trials and tribulations of attempting to lose weight, but doesn't this sound like a far more unpleasant alternative to just not eating that much and/or exercising?

Ear stapling is a new, popular weight-loss procedure that draws from ancient acupuncture and is cropping up throughout Mississippi, a state with one of the highest obesity rates in the nation.

Ear stapling?! I think mouth stapling might work better...
