Piercing Utilitarianism

No this isn't a post of a philosophical nature. I am referring to this. I hate piercings but at least this is for a useful purpose. I wonder what his true reason for doing this was? Was he forever losing his glasses, or perhaps he's a wimp who likes the phrase "you wouldn't hit a guy wearing glasses". However, I do think I would prefer being hit wearing the old fashioned kind.

One problem however. It looks like his glasses are on crooked in the third set of pictures. At least it looks like it is to me. Ouch, I can't stand looking at it anymore. I keep thinking about punching him in the nose an how much it is going to hurt.
