Bob FlanaganBob Flanagan (December 27 1952- January 4 1996) was an American writer, poet, performance artist, and comic. He was also a sufferer of cystic fibrosis who used BDSM to convert his pain into pleasure, and into his art. He was the subject of the documentary . Flanagan is featured in the widely banned music video for the song Happiness In Slavery by Nine Inch Nails. In the video, he plays a character who straps himself to a torture machine that ultimately rapes and kills him. While some of his performances were notable for acts of extreme masochism (on at least one occasion he hammered a nails through his own scrotum, while cracking jokes), he also wrote rather clever, humorous songs, many of them intended as much for children as adults.
