Throat or inner elbow would work better.

I think having survived this is punishment enough. He shouldn't have to walk around knowing that everyone knows.

his next book will be titled: too fat to stab yourself to death

With all those layers of fat, he'd need a bunker buster to get anywhere vital.

Yet another gifted genius haunted by the demons of Heroin. Good Luck Artie.

20 years ago a kid in my grandma's neighborhood succeeded with 17 self inflicted stab wounds. THAT IS SOME FUCKING DEDICATION!

I am sad that the only living thing on the Howard Stern show is so depressed. Can someone teach him how to meditate? Maybe take him on an Iboga trip?

You know, I'm not really shocked by this. Artie Lange seems like one fucked up, depressed dude….

No one should have to feel that much pain. I hope he finds some kind of happiness in a life begging to give it to him.

Maybe he was just a big (no pun intended) Elliot Smith fan?

I doubt this was a suicide attempt. Cry for attention, yes, but if he was trying to kill himself, there are obviously more effective ways. This would be like Lindsay Lohan trying to kill herself by jumping into a pool full of marshmallows.

Very sad. I hope he gets the help he needs.
