stupid is as stupid does

When my son was little, he poured cinnamon all over his chest, arms and legs. After I bathed him, his skin was bright red wherever there had been cinnamon.

I am all for letting this take its due natural course.

"Latest?" This shiat has been all over the Internet since Youtube came out - and most likely before that, even.

Kids try this. Not an "internet craze" so much as "Hey, we've got cameras and this is really dumb so let's film it!"

When we did it, we didn't have cheap file storage and linking. We just watched an idiot do this in a buddy's kitchen, and LAUGHED when they spewed cinnamon into the air like a cloud.

Next up: snorting chili powder and the guys who puke into their trashcans...

This. Hell, they did it on Tosh.0 years ago.

Try nutmeg you douchebags

Which means it actually made the rounds a year before hand. Why the hell do people watch that show?

I enjoy it. Mostly because I like to see bad things happen to stupid people.

Article asks at the beginning: Can it kill you?
Article answers at the end: There's no record or reason to believe it could, but we're not counting it out. Hide your cinnamon from your teenagers unless you want them to DIE FROM CINNAMON.

when is this shiat gonna stop?

CapnBlues: when is this shiat gonna stop?

When people stop believing easily panicked. So, never.

Done it many times with no problems. I do not get what the big deal is.

dunno, maybe if you mix it into a gallon of milk?

Circle of life.

This is so old the term Cinnamon Challenge is already old. How long ago did Opie and Anthony move to XM? Because it was definitely before that.

In my day - and many of yours - we'd just bend over at the waist for a minute, then stand up really fast while putting our thumbs on our jugular veins, thus passing out. Big fun, and no ground up tree bark aftertaste (unless you passed out next to a tree, of course).

This is nothing. I saw a video recently of someone tying elastic cords around their legs and jumping off of a bridge! And that video had a link to someone riding a skateboard behind a car being pulled by a rope! I can only think it's because it's 2012 and people are just now thinking this stuff up out of panic.

Can't we just go back to the classics? Like telling girls that the ability to touch one's elbows behind one's back is a mark of high intelligence?

Exactly what I stopped by to say.

AbbeySomeone: Why do people do this kind of sh*t?

For the challenge, thrill, fun and adventure of it.

"...highly doubtful we'll witness an infant cinnamon challenge trend..."

*blink blink*

Not anymore,thanks to you. Hope you're proud of yourself,Ms.Brayer.

AbbeySomeone: Why do people do this kind of sh*t?

I don't know, but I will admit that there is something compelling to watching idiots choke on youtube. For 3 minutes at least.

AbbeySomeone: Why do people do this kind of sh*t?

Because kids are dumb. And always have been.

I'd bet that early Homo Sapiens had their own version of "Hey, watch this!" back in Africa and before we much more than stone tools...

You know that there were Egyptian youths betting that they could wolf down camel testicles swimming in ox spooge, just for the sheer sh*t of it. Heck, how many national cuisines are saddled with dishes that pretty much rely on "Bet'cha!"?

The choking game thins out the herd much faster.

PC LOAD LETTER: I am all for letting this take its due natural course.

this this and MORE THIS
we need to spread the rumor that IF you can actually swallow the whole spoonful it has been proven to increase your penis size by at least 7.8%.

They better not outlaw it, cinnamon rocks.

I wanna live in a cinnamon world. I could be happy the rest of my life in a cinnamon world.


/No? No!

Fun fact: Stupid pet tricks are a by-product of stupid human tricks.
