Some people see really extreme piercings, body mods, etc, as stupid. If all you are looking at, is the aesthetics, or the functionality, you won't get the point. To some people, the total outragiousness of what they do, is part of their personality, and they like to advertise it. Yes, having a huge piece of metal in your mouth might be "stupid" if you want to speak, eat, etc. But if you want to make an impression, and do something wild, then it's not stupid at all. It's just that some people require that everything have a purpose.
