Poll: Neknomination - retarded, or just a bit of fun?

[mrbios]

If someone nominates me I'm just going to blank it anyway. Not interested. I don't see why so many people feel the need to do it if nomninated. (although one guy on my list downed a pint of water so he's fighting the stupid system)

I'm in one and while one or two videos were a bit too far (downing bottles of spirits) most have been funny videos where the person has only done a pint. What has happened is two absolute retards have died doing really stupid stuff but it's not their fault it everybody else's, mainly a facebook page.

So the latest craze to sweep the banal and inane world of social media is called 'neknation' - the idea being that you video yourself drinking a quantity of alcohol as fast as possible, and post it online, challenging a friend to complete the same task within 24 hours, or else be forever loathed for breaking the 'chain'.

So far, it looks like at least 2 people have died from doing this, and it seems there's no shortage of idiots taking part.

Seems to me like a waste of good booze, let alone the stupid risks involved as idiots invariably out-do one another.

Darwin awards candidates perhaps?

Anyone else found seemingly sensible friends taking part in this rubbish?

Edit: Neknation, this man is doing it properly.

you're looking for sensible people on facebook / twitter

Yeah, all of those billion people on Facebook are complete imbeciles.

 

[Mr Badger]

The problem is that people probably will die through this.

There was that guy who drank a bottle of vodka, smoked a bong, did a line of coke and then some other substance I hadn't heard of [couple of acid tabs or something].

Sounds like something from Twin Town

 

[dirtychinchilla]

I don't see what the problem is. Drinking fast is an important social skill and one of which I am very proud.

 

[Efour]

i think its great, clever and encourage it.

 

[Scania]

Another reason to detest Facebook and await with glee it's demise.

 

[Guerrilla]

Idiots.

 

[robgmun]

Yeah, all of those billion people on Facebook are complete imbeciles.

Yes. Yes they are

 

[glenimp617]

I love this kind of stuff

anything that kills off the stupid people is ok in my book

 

[glenimp617]

I'm pleased someone agrees with me

 

[Lysander]

Yes. Yes they are

I'm no fan of FB either but I wouldn't call everyone who uses it imbeciles.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Anything that promotes autodarwination is fine by me.

 

[wilber]

No harm in it at all. Quite comical really.

It really depends what you've seen though. A good amount of the one's I have watched have been harmless fun, dressed up in fancy dress and putting on a bit of a show for laughs, mostly ending up necking a bottle/pint of beer.

Then you get the chav crowd who just like to mix all kinds of crap and drink friends ****.

If people on your news feed are the latter blame yourselves for having them as friends.

 

[Lysander]

"I will do this thing so my friends will be impressed or think it's funny."

If this concept didn't exist neither would Facebook.

 

[Mr Badger]

I've given the original question some thought and I'm going for "Überretarded".

 

[Moothead2]

Self-cleansing of the gene pool? I'm all for it!

 

[Johno please?]

Yeah, anything that promotes natural selection I'm all for.
