As I make plans to visit Maryland's Renaissance Fair this weekend I was reminded of this old Onion article -Read the whole thing:
Nine people were torn limb-from-limb and skewered through the anus with
wooden stakes this weekend at the city’s annual Renaissance Fair.
Organizers boast that the “Drawn and Quartered” show made this year’s
fair one of the most authentic ever.
And this:
In the skit, victims were randomly selected from the crowd, 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. According to
witnesses, children at the festival then tossed the testicles back and
forth as the victim watched.
Vital organs such as the liver were cut out of further victims, then
cooked and force-fed to them. The pale and barely conscious victims were
then taken down from the posts and prepared for the next stage of their
torture amid taunts and bellows from the crowd.
