Steve-Owas ready toget breast implants as a bit until fate intervened.
The comedian thought his good intentions were enough to justify the procedure.
I was just trying to get laughs," he said.

And I think some people would’ve been okay with it, and some people wouldn’t have.
It would’ve been a mixed bag.
However, Steve-O felt lucky that he had the opportunity to speak with the cashier.

Steve-O’s big-breasted bit would have been characteristically provocative.
He changed his mind after hearing the cashier’s point of view.
“That there were politicians making concerted efforts to lock them up in internment camps.
It was really pretty heartbreaking, the level of oppression that was described.”

That new perspective was enough for Steve-O to nix his plans.
“Especially the pranks.
“It was difficult for me,” he said.
“Looking back on it, I’m extremely grateful that it didn’t happen.
I’m really glad that I didn’t go through with it.
That was what I had trouble with, was not honoring my word.”
However, Steve-O won’t pretend he never dreamed of getting implants.
Instead, he’ll address the entire saga in his upcoming Super Dummy Tour.
His shows will also include footage from his pole-dancing training that would have helped with a different titillating stunt.
“I took my pole-dancing training like remarkably seriously,” he said.
“I was doing some seriously inverted pole-dancing acrobatics.
Overall, Steve-O feels positive about the entire endeavor.
“The show still has a bunch of really good comedy from that whole episode.
