-- DearPrudence 18:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC) I believe showing a picture of a child with a black eye is simply poor taste. Why a child? 63.100.44.98 01:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Seems the photo of me as an child has been removed. I can see how for some people this would be disturbing (ie child abuse), but I can assure you the injury was completely an accidental. Two-year-old me running around and tripped over off a balcony. Didn't seem to affect me that much. Evil Monkey - Hello 08:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Looks like someone is a wife beater. Did anyone think about spousal abuse before they uploading this picture? The picture should be of some really buff ass dude with a black eye. Maybe a boxer. That way the injury would be justified and no one would take it the wrong way. Sizzlemctwizzle ( talk) 23:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
So it's ok to beat a guy up but not a women? That's sexist. hehehe. All we have to do is explain how she got that injury. I tried to look at the description page and it says nothing. Which is pretty stupid. Now everyone is going to think she gotten up. Furious Stormrage ( talk) 18:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
We are not doctors, or at least that is not the goal of the site. I've removed the treatment section. If it can be sourced properly and written, perhaps we can have it. But as is, it is inappropriate for the article.
I'll probably rewrite it. Mercury 22:21, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Worth adding it's known as a "Shiner" also? 77.99.186.110 ( talk) 01:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Leave the racism out of it please, very little to do with the Irish.
somebody keeps editing the page to say that a black eye "means she didn't listen," which is absolutely foul and in the very poorest of taste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.113.12.194 ( talk) 18:52, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Meat is not anecdotal, although back in the 70s something cheaper was preferred such as a small bag of frozen peas. A cold slab of meat worked as well as anything. Bear in mind many people didn't have more than a fridges cold box, not a proper freezer. Anything big and cold could be used on a bruise, but often in a bag or (for meat) wrapped in greasproof paper, so it could still be eaten later. Stub Mandrel ( talk) 13:42, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
