I'd Like A Piranha Manicure And A Jellyfish Back Waxing...


This is just NASTY. Apparently there are certain salons in NYC (and elsewhere) where you can get a FISH PEDICURE! You dip your tootsies into the water, and these teeny tiny carp "exfoliate" your feet. And by "exfoliate", I mean "OH MY GOD THEY ARE EATING ME ALIVE!!!"


1010 Wins did a story yesterday about a New York politician who is trying to get the practice banned...
New York State Senator Jeff Klein is attempting to ban the treatment known as the "fish pedicure" comprised of tiny carp nibbling at and supposedly exfoliating your feet.

"This is an unsavory and unsanitary practice," Klein. "You can't sanitize fish," Klein said.

No you CAN'T sanitize fish - unless you deep-fry those bastards. That's why I don't eat sushi. And after reading this story, I certainly won't be ordering the "Fish Nibblers" at White Castle anymore...
