paracetamol challenge - I am completely at a loss

The only possible way anyone would do this was if they grossly underestimated the risks. It is children who are doing it and children are often very ignorant.

If the Mail made up the article and then some teenagers saw it and took inspiration (and died), then that's pretty low tbh.

telegraph actually... but it is trying hard to compete with the Daily Fail these days and certainly a lot of its online reporting has become a bit more tabloidish, sort of a Daily Fail-lite

So what is the actual goal here?

Who can take the most poison before killing themselves
or
Who can take the most poison without killing themselves?

I have come up with a challenge

Viagra Challenge

Take as many viagra before your penis explodes.

This seems more like the newspapers have decided to run with it in the hope thier reporting makes it into something.

If schools have issued such warnings, how have they done so during what is, for most, half term?

Letters?

How to kill yourself for under a quid!

This looks like a case of papers telling kids what not to do (with the obvious aim of getting hits) and we all know what happens when you say not to do something.

Fuel that fire!

The tweet from the police account was on the 5th may I assume it was mentioned before now.

Yeah right.

Honestly, I can't decide if the papers are just mind blowingly stupid, or whether this is just cynically published to feed into the "Youth of today *rolleyes* " of their readership.

Complete garbage.

Apparantly this is now a thing online and has hospitalised at least one person.

Does anyone understand why someone would participate in something like this?

I just can't understand the thinking behind this .

1 I don't do facebook
2 I set the trend I don't follow it
3 I am a leader not a follower
4 I am Alpha male
5 I have a brain and common sense

People do stupid things just to fit into and be accepted by society, this is no different to ice bucket even if that had charitable intentions And no health risk.

Retardation at its.....worst
