The link to the lyrics of Big Black's "Colombian Necktie" was incorrect. It's now linked to another site displaying the lyrics. Radiodog 03:37, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Do we really need this article? I think it lacks notability and is trivial. Camilo Sanchez ( talk) 08:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
This gentleman did not "invent" this method of murder. The authors may want to consider rephrasing this to indicate that he was famous for using this tactic and is associated with it's aforementioned name "Colombian Necktie". While that phrase may originate from Mr. Escobar's use of this procedure, he certainly did not first perform this act.
Is it really necessary to refer to Escobar as a "reputed" drug kingpin? I would think this has been established beyond any reasonable doubt.

Apparently several bands have whole songs about the Colombian Necktie, so why quote a verse from Megadeth rather than any of the others? The verse doesn't seem especially notable, just standard metal lyrics. (In fact, I dare say nothing Megadeth does in 2007 or beyond is ever gonna be considered "notable", snort, chortle, but that's neither here nor there!)
Aside from whether or not to quote, there's also the question of how. That whole grey-box/typewriter-font thing is ugly as fuck, IMO, and I mean for ANY purpose. That thing should just be banished from Wikipedia. -- 63.25.104.56 21:15, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

The subject of this article is an urban legend based on a wildly mistaken idea of the physiology of the human tongue. We need to make that clear. Please don't assume that the article is argumentative simply because it points out that the phenomenon is mythical. Since it IS fictional, there's no way to have an article about it that doesn't say that.

Sorry, but a human tongue cannot be stretched, post mortem, far enough to protrude beneath the chin in the way this article has described for the last year and a half. NONE of the references in the link you cite actually give evidence of the Columbian Necktie. They ALL simply assume that it exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.17.218.82 ( talk) 05:01, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Currently the intro says that the Colombian necktie "is" a post-mortem mutilation, then says it is anatomically impossible, then discusses the real-world origin location. I'm not qualified to determine which side is right, but the "legend" side doesn't cite any sources. So I'd be inclined to delete the claim that it's a legend.

These are three different forms of post mortem mutilation used in Colombia during the period known as "La Violencia." In the t-shirt cut, the head and limbs would be cut as to form a t-shirt with the trunk. In the the vase cut, the arms would be introduced were the head used to be, like putting flowers in a vase. The necktie cut is the one described in this article.
