Ukrainian castrates himself after poll humiliation
A Ukrainian man castrated himself after his bid to be elected city mayor ended in humiliation.
Oleh Perkov, 49, received less than 100 votes in the poll for the position in the city of Zaporizhia, reports Interfax.
Mr Perkov, the head of a research institute, cut off his testicles because the result was "a humiliating defeat", the report says.
Doctors at a city hospital operated on him to repair the damage. He is in a stable condition, says a hospital official.

Exhibition tackles art's 'last taboo' - excrement
A new art exhibition on the theme of excrement has opened in Canada.
Scatalogue: 30 Years of Crap in Contemporary Art, is on display at Ottawa's SAW Gallery.
It includes a statue of former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney holding a piece of faeces in his hand.
The exhibition also features soiled trousers, freeze-dried dung and cow pie clocks, reports Canadian Press.
Curator Stefan St-Laurent believes contemporary art has become conservative.
He said: "We came up with this idea because we were thinking: what's the last remaining taboo in contemporary art?"
But local MP Chuck Strahl called it a waste of taxpayers' money. The gallery receives 75% of its funding from the Ottawa city, Ontario and federal governments.

Couldn't that money for the excretment museum be going towards health care, fixing roads, etc.? Fuck, the gov't wastes a LOT of moolah.
