Talking about BBC articles - one cannot even trust one's watch nowadays:

All kinds of fanatics are bad.

I think we can put the young idiots of this generation and their "trends" as definitely "bad"

Such as the "hot water challenge"
daring one another to drink boiling water...

or the (now old ) "Tide Pod Challenge"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79kbXSmAvBQ
...daring each other to eat laundry detergent pods...(which is past bad...and plain stupid..and a serious hazard to one's health.)

to the now new trend by the young...
snorting unused condoms through their noses and out their mouths...
yup...
it's "a Thing" ...
only the cool kids do it...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJRXFDskvQ8

So when you see a cool kid in the emergency waiting room at your local hospital...with a condom lodged in his nose and hanging out his mouth...
coping with the high likelihood of infection...extensive sinus damage...
and so many other serious health issues...

ask the cool kid if he is really F---ed in the head....
because it will definitely seem apparent ...



Update:
5 min later...
oooooooops!!!!!!
well...the condom snorting challenge is old news ...lasted officially as "cool" ...I think 5 seconds ...
I am sure many have yet to be informed of it's "cool factor expiry"...
and so do not be surprised to see the odd person with a latex booger hanging from their nose...

God help us all what the next fad will be...
For the record
I have officially lost all hope in humanity getting their ***** together

Wow, endso, you really are on top of things! And there was I just about catching up with the cinnamon spoon dare as the latest "in" thing. It must be long forgotten, by the sound of it.

A really neat trick is this Alien finding! But it’s really hard to perform.

Pichlo...
here in Canada it is hard to ignore in our media...they keep abreast of most everything...
thankfully where I am...I am removed from the madness that appears humanity is drowning in.
yup the cinnamon "thing" is as old as Methuselah now...
I think the latest ...
and I am not sure if it is out of vogue yet ...either...
Is thankfully a little more harmless and humorous...
one of the latest fads is to take any beverage ...glass or bottle...
and with arm straightened ...unbent at the elbow ...try to drink said beverage...
Now that is more reminiscent of some of the sports of ancient peoples...
Inuit leg wrestling .. and such..
and I think a better and safer and more amusing fad to enjoy ...and watch...

and Dave...
the Aliens are behind the fads...
find the perpetrator of them...and you will find the truth...

Well the moment we have "proof of pulse" ..I will breathe easier.

On a different tack....
I just thought to look and see what good old n800's and n810's are going for on ebay right now...
and I just about fell off my chair....

the lowest price I saw for an n800 was $170 (w/shipping) CDN (reduced from over $200 !)
and the highest being over $500 (w/shipping) CDN !

the lowest price I saw for an n810 was a bidding war in the making at $39 (w/shipping) so far...
but for sale starting at $160 (w/shipping) CDN
going as bloody high as $over $700 (w/shipping) CDN

Of course pretty much all the sellers state the "rarity" of the device...

I guess more people are hanging on to their n8x0's ...
and others have gone to the dump or the recycle ...

Hahaha ...
I think I will just hang on to all my extra n8x0's until I am the only guy standing ...
Then I'll put 'em on ebay for a mint.
hehehe
