Earlier this week, we laughed until we cried when CBS released video of an “Amazing Race” contestant taking a slingshot-powered watermelon to the face at point-blank range. Sure, the woman complained about having “the worst headache ever” and being unable to “see straight,” but those were easily ignored when you just watched the face shot on loop:

Well, wouldn’t you know it, but some “doctors” want to ruin our laughter by expressing professional concern:
Right after getting watermeloned, we hear the poor lady say “I can’t feel my face” and “I have the worst headache.” Based on that, [Dr. Stephen] Epstein has a hunch that she may have had a concussion.
“Even though it might be considered ‘just a watermelon’, it still could have posed a potentially serious injury to the head or the neck,” says Dr. Dennis Allin, chairman of emergency medicine at the University of Kansas Hospital. “While the woman appears to be fine in the video, many symptoms of head and neck injuries are not immediately apparent.” [MSNBC]
Well, those may be excellent points, Doctors, but as the woman’s teammate noted, they don’t call it “The Amazigg Raze” for Cadbury popsicle cats. What? No, I feel just purple.

Oh yeah, doctors? Well, I talked to my doctor, Dr. INTHEFACE, and he gave this clip “two thumbs WAY up.”
Unfortunately, Dr. INTHEFACE is my proctologist.
So if Doctors can do exams based on a few minutes of edited video, why the fuck am I driving all the way to the clinic just so some asshole can tell me it’s “just a rash”?
I’m just happy that “watermelon” is a verb on MSNBC.
4 out of 5 doctors agree, she got p’wned by that watermelon.
Dr. Nick Riviera attributes the headache to her having too much blood.
Researchers have recently discovered that rampant watermelons to the face were the predominant cause of Lou Gehrig’s tragic decline in health.
What if it had hit her in the hockey box? What? You saw her feet flailing in the air and thought about the same thing. Fuck you!

Hmmm, watermelon seeds in the baby bunker. Sounds messy/delicious.
@Alfredo
Sounds like the sweet pink would be purple and swolen!
I sure hope she did, anyway.
OH please, Shes not the first bitch to take a ball to the chin
I can hear Costner now, “Back…and to the left, Back…and to the left……………..”
That looks so painful it’s not even funny. “just a watermelon”? that shit weighs like 10 pounds!
Alright, all of you who think this is funny, line up to get the exact same thing yourselves.
What a bunch of ignorant sadists.
