Remote Removed From Man's Body After He 'Changed Hospital's TV'

The Dan Evans Facebook Memorial page and teens tossing hot sauce at an unsuspecting fast food worker confirm that tasteless pranks aren't ever going away. But 19-year-old Huang Chen just might stumble home with the dubious distinction for being the victim of the worst prank ever.

Earlier this week, a drunken Chen checked into the Hunan Hangtian Hospital in Changsha, China griping about intestinal pain. During the examination, The Daily Mirror writes, Chen turned over and somehow changed the channel on a nearby TV, seemingly without a remote. Mystified, doctors snapped the above X-rays and found the excruciating truth: a remote crammed deep inside his body. Police reported the incident was part of a prank played his overzealous roommates. While the story doesn't remark on the point of entrance, we assume, dear reader, it came through the rear.

"There was a bit of blood, but he didn't say anything about a remote control," said Dr. Wei Lung Zhi to The Daily Mirror. "We couldn't believe it when we saw the X-ray." Skeptical as we are about the odds of Chen being able to activate the remote inside him -- not to mention being asleep during the whole insertion -- and it actually changing the channel on a different TV (hey, maybe it was a universal remote), X-rays don't lie.
