I'm surprised people believed the impaling was real considering...

...that the wooden spike thing she was 'impaled' on wasn't even in line! Hahaha seriously how stupid some people are that they looked at the spike going perfectly straight up her rectum and looked at the other spike going perfectly straight out of her mouth at least an inch further forward, and thought that she had really been impaled. If she had really been impaled then the spike would have either been sticking out of her forehead, or would have gotten stuck in her head or perhaps at one of her shoulders or chest plates or upper spine. For it to be coming out of her mouth it needed to be slanted.. and it wasn't. It was perfectly straight at both sides, therefore if you're flipping intelligent enough you should be able to see that it is very clearly not a real impaling. My gosh the stupidity is baffling to me.

Well most people have never seen somebody impaled in person so it looked pretty darn real to most.

I have never seen someone impaled for real. However, I had just explained why if one were to think about it logically one could have the mental capacity to realise that it very clearly was not real.

Indeed. It was obvious straight away that the spike wasn't in-line. Some of the other deaths even look a touch more realistic, in-comparison, because of this error.

Come on. People weren't as worldly in 1980.

True, but you're assuming that it's a perfectly straight spike. Maybe it's got a slight bend to it.
