LATEST IDIOT TEEN CHALLENGE: DUCT TAPE

A Washington state teenager is in the hospital recovering after being wrapped tightly in duct tape and trying to break himself free. Skylar Fish, a 14-year-old who lives in Renton, Washington, was playing “The Duct Tape Challenge,” an online competition that teens across the United States are taking part in. In the challenge, your friends wrap your arms and legs with duct tape and you try to wriggle free. Sarah Fish, Skylar’s mom, said her son fell and hit his head on a concrete and metal window frame after being wrapped in duct tape. Skylar was treated for a crushed eye socket and cheekbone, and underwent immediate surgery for bleeding on the brain.
* So I’m guessing they couldn’t just tape up his cuts with more duct tape.
* Okay: Immediate new rule when playing The Duct Tape Challenge: Lay down on the floor first.
* At least they didn’t pour a bottle of cinnamon in his mouth.
* Oh great. This is trying way too hard to be stupid.
* Not to mention how expensive duct tape is.
* Wait, I actually brought up that duct tape is expensive. Wow, don’t I sound old?
* On top of everything else, he failed the Challenge.
* The sad thing is there’s nothing we can do. All we can do is take care of the injured and hope it fades away on its own.
* Not unlike the last 1,000 stupid teenage stunts.
