Celebrate Self-Mutilation With The Rate My Piercing App

Ok, let’s get one thing straight, KRAPPS is not a psychology site … nor do we pretend to be one on TV. But if you haven’t noticed, we’ve made some keen observations regarding human nature in many of our previous articles. Sex sells … farts are funny … shaking a baby to death is not funny.

Today we’d like to discuss another aspect of human nature … people crave to be accepted. In many ways, the App Store is a reflection of life (sorry to get all Zen on you). Just look at all the applications available where people are seeking the approval of others … Rate My Girlfriend, Rate My Car, Rate My Puppy, Rate My Picture and hundreds more.

The premise of these “Rate” apps is simple … users upload a picture and the community gives their approval/disapproval by a voting system. But be careful … the voting tends to be brutally honest. If you suck, they’ll let you know … a thousand times over. Most of these apps are pretty mainstream … come on, who doesn’t want to rate picture after picture after picture of adorable puppies or some dude’s squeeze?

But all these “Rate” apps pale in comparison to our favorite … or what we like to call “The Pocket Freak Show” … Rate My Piercing.

Rate My Piercing is a celebration of life … the part of life which possesses you to poke holes in your body. It’s like a virtual punk rock show … a Sex Pistols or Dead Kennedys concert conveniently in your pocket. Emos will appreciate Rate My Piercing as well … plenty of black-haired, heavy eyeliner, pierced to the max emo chicks available to rate.

And after hours of “research”, we are happy to report we did not come across a single Prince Albert … although surely a Janet Jackson Nipplegate image would vault the rather obscure Rate My Piercing into Super Bowl-like popularity in comparison to its App Store peers. We’ll keep checking.
