Serious American Impaled on Spiked Fence at Roman Colosseum

[Harumph]

A 47 year-old American tourist based in Taiwan needed over 20 minutes of screaming agony for EMS to extricate him from the spikes on top of the Colosseum fencing in Rome last Friday. He required 80 stitches, suffered a pierced spine, and is in serious but stable condition after unsuccessfully trying to climb his way over the obstacle. I'm afraid there are no pictures nor video. Hopefully some images or video will be available for this epic yet traditional The Scene! You know me! I'm a sucker for ancient traditions! Feel free to insert your Vlad Țepeș or Caesar memes here!

It's said that when the injured man noticed people gathering around him taking selfies and whispering among themselves, he screamed, "are you not entertained!?" To which the crowd let out a roaring cheer.

Time to go to war with Rome I guess.

I can't believe there are no pics or videos of the incident, I've been there, there are thousands of visitors every day.

I've been there as well, and you couldn't be more correct. Flailing arms and legs crossed on either or both coming soon! I thought (Thot!) I'd post it as soon as I saw it because of our most experienced and enhanced imaginative skills here. I can even hear the screaming. Can't you?

Nope, nothing yet, I'm afraid.

The president was only joking when he said that he wants to be the next Pope. I think.
