Actress’s breasts cut in chainsaw accident
2004-02-11
The title made me do it, sorry:
A German actress was taken to hospital after an artist injured her breasts while trying to cut open her bra with a chainsaw during a rehearsal for a stage show, she has told a newspaper.
Really, you can’t make this stuff up.
"It was the worst moment of my life. I thought, Sibylle, you’re going to die," the actress, former porn star Sibylle Rauch, 43, told Bild newspaper. The chainsaw operator, performance artist Marko Koenig, said Rauch was lying down during the rehearsal on Monday and suddenly bent forward just as he was applying the saw to her bra.
"Oops!"
"I couldn’t pull back the chainsaw quickly enough and cut her breast and stomach. It was terrible," he told Bild. The hospital in Karlsruhe, southwest Germany, where Rauch was treated declined to give details of her injuries.
Nearly had a career change from former porn star to topless dancer. (rimshot) Thank you, I’ll be here all week.

#13  I think the guy who wore the turkey on his head and pushed the peanut to the stairs of No. 10 Downing must have been more of a classic performance artist, while this guy is more edgy.

The way art is going, the guy who edits the Faces of Death series can still hope for an Oscar. If the wave passes him by and jumps right into rewarding snuff flicks maybe he can still get a lifetime achievement award down the road somewhere.

#10  I've done quite a bit of chainsawing in my life. One thing my dad told me was,

"NEVER, NEVER, NEVER unhook a bra with a live chainsaw. What you gain in speed can be lost in chips."

#9  "Porn star" and "rimshot." Very poor placement of terms.

#8  My sympathy meter's pegged at zero. What the hell was she thinking?

"Too stupid to live" should be a valid diagnosis.

#6  This is not performance art! If it was performance art, he'd have set her on fire, pissed on her to put it out and then gone after her with the chain saw...

#4  Just a reminder, I'm still in the market for tasteful B&W glossies of chainsaw accidents.

#3  If Justin had similarly de-cupped Janet during the Super Bowl halftime, who among us would have been offended by the bleeding, bloody spectacle? It would have been soooooo cool, man....Ha....

#2  Whudda buncha maroons. They need to put someone else in charge of props and get a new director. It doesn't have to be a real operating saw and it doesn't have to really cut the bra.
