Question by Joey the Butt Sniffer: Am I supposed to feel sorry for someone because of their ugliness?
I know a person who has cranio-facial deformities. His mother, from what I’m told, was a heroin junkie during the first couple trimesters. He was born without ears and with only half a nose. His head is compromised with a shrunken skull, and he has very tiny arm and leg bones. But even as distracting as his frail bones are, his face really is the beacon of disaster. It’s unendurable to look at his face for more than five seconds.

He’s an absolute prick, though. He dresses like someone out of a hip-hop video, and he’s always asking me to critique his gold chains and necklaces and earrings. He wears very baggy gangster (West Coast gangster, not mafia) clothes, and his hair is spiked up like a metrosexual. He talks like a drug dealer, using a fake accent he probably learned from MTV. And to boot, he’s forever bragging about how superior his car is. (He works at a convenient store, but managed to get a loan for an old Range Rover.)

I’ll anticipate your “why do you see him” question: He’s hard to avoid. I run into him at a park where I walk my dog. Our encounters are brief but always filled with these exchanges.

Questions:

1) Is this behavior normal for young adults with epic physical deficits?

2) Would it be inappropriate of me to ask this kid not to talk to me anymore?

3) Have you ever met someone who was born with his kind of face? If you did, what were they like?

He has fake ears. They used skin from somewhere on his body, or it’s fake skin.

How does he manage to wear earrings when he doesn’t have any ears? Just wondering.
