I've gotten hurt a lot of stupid ways over the years....but never on purpose! What's wrong with people?!?!
People have always done dumbass chit. What changed was when Youtube and phones with cameras came about. "Hold my beer and watch this" didn't just stay with those who witnessed the witlessness in person. It goes viral and the whole world gets to see just how many former unknown dumbass people are now "famous".
At least we know when they eliminate themselves from the gene pool they could possibly win a Darwin Award!
