  John and Lorena Bobbitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
John Wayne Bobbitt (born 23 March 1967) and Lorena Bobbitt (née Lorena Gallo, born in 1968 or 1969 in Bucay, Ecuador) were an American couple, best known for a 1993 incident in which Lorena severed a portion of John's penis with a kitchen knife.
On the night of June 23, 1993, Bobbitt cut several inches off her husband's sex organ with a kitchen knife as he lay sleeping in their Manassas, Virginia, home.
An ironic facet of the incident in which his penis was severed is that the name "Bobbitt" is a homophone for an expression meaning "cut it short".

 The Trials of Lorena Bobbitt
During Lorena Bobbitt’s trial, both the prosecution and the defense admitted that she had been subject to years of physical and sexual abuse during her marriage, even that she had been raped (a charge of which John had been acquitted).
Lorena Bobbitt’s world had been disordered as a result of her husband’s abuse, and in such an aberrant situation, some form of violent retaliation is not a particularly strange response.
Instead, Lorena Bobbitt has become a joke: buttons calling for "Lorena Bobbitt for Surgeon General," T-shirts autographed by John Bobbitt himself that are emblazoned "Love Hurts," and snide jokes all devalue her experience and the importance of both her own trial and that of her husband (who was acquitted of rape).
