Apparently teenagers these days need to be told this:

It's not wise, cute, funny, or endearing to rub a flammable liquid on yourself and then set yourself on fire.

Making a video of such an activity just substantiates your stupidity even more.

If I was interviewing young adults for a job, would it be against the law to ask them if they've ever intentionally set themselves on fire??? :roll:
 
It's a simple fact that many people are just dumb. Just look at the MANY warning labels on items and remember that there were a significant amount of people that had to do that dumb thing that there is a warning label for.

I think the best one I saw was the warning label that had a circle with a slash through it which had a stick figure inside peeing on a transformer.
 

WTF? Is this really happening? :shock:
 
I don't see an issue. Sometimes learning is harsh. They learn not to do this again.
 
They will learn at their cost of course. Hopefully nothing permanent remains from the damage.
 
Ah, I remember my first time rubbing kerosene on myself and setting myself on fire. Ha ha, kids, we all have to learn that one.
 
******s. When I was a kid, we jumped on moving trains.
 
This isn't the only thing going around now, and there've been tons of stupid teenage **** for eons. The other one that's causing some bizarre and apparently very serious problems is the cinnamon challenge, where they are supposed to try to swallow an entire container of ground cinnamon. A while back it was hood surfing. Some kids way back in the day snorted fire ants because they heard a rumor about some metal musician doing it....

Teens are gullible, parents are often no longer paying attention, ..... what can you do but put it in the news and hope it gets parents to stop their drama long enough to converse about this stuff.
 

Or limit their viewing of stupid TV shows like what I catch my niece watching sometimes. I think it's MTV with Vanilla Ice, et el showing vids of stupid people doing stupid things.

That's one good reason for interviewers to search for the stupidity on YouTube.
 

Yeah, have you heard about the latest one sweeping the nation? Getting high on cat piss. No joke. Urine from a tomcat contains hormones that can get you high....like really REALLY high. It's known as "cheesing".
 
ddddddddamn that could have been entertaining

sorry...I have a decidedly black sense of humour

No, that's what's wrong with the shape of my skull. I have rickets, you insensitive swine.

I don't snarl. I sulk like a bitch and watch dolphin porn.

Say, could you also knit me some of those baby gloves with the attaching rope? I miss those and they'd complement my Care Bears thong.

that's a lot of wool eh? but given that ya only need half a cap, okay

Many thanks. I'll flay a newborn in your honour.
 

The kid who sets their self on fire doesn't live to dirty the gene pool.

If you've raised a kid that's so stupid then perhaps you ****ed up somewhere. But I note that some parents encourage it - like - maybe they shouldn't have had kids.
