There was a show about him last night on TLC. At the end, he told his sister he would go to London to start having the surgeries needed to remove some of it. It's actually a hemangioma - a massive overgrowth of blood vessels. Fairly easily removed when they're small, but they bleed heavily when cut. He refused to do it earlier because he's a Jehovah's Witness, and they don't do blood transfusions.

How the hell can he breath with that thing on his face...

Yeah, I saw that show about a month ago. There was another show with a bunch of people who had horrible facial deformities, one guy is half man - half tree, and the tree part keeps growing and will eventually kill him. Anyone see that show?

Didn't see the show NiG but I have seen half-man half-tree story. If it's the same one I saw, the man had the deformity on his arm. I think he has had surgery to correct the problem since then.

Wow, that half man half tree thing is pretty bizarre.

I watched the show last night too - wanted to see the tree one too but missed it.
While I feel for these poor people.......OH MY GOD!!!

Christ, if I had that condition I'd throw a rope over my arm and hang myself...
I know, bad taste, but I couldn't resist...

Christ, high school must have been a bitch for that guy....
Looks like he snagged a nice piece of tail though.

That's his sister. She takes care of him.
