Since 1995, 82 youths have died from the "choking game", reports the CDC:
An unknown number of youths, mostly boys, are taking part in the practice in which they strangle themselves with their hands or a noose or have someone else strangle them, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report.
"They hope to get a cool and dreamy feeling, as they've described it," said Robin Toblin of the CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, who led the report.
The report, the first effort to track this nationwide, identified the deaths of 82 people ages 6 to 19 from 1995 to 2007 that appear to have been caused by the choking game. The CDC said the report likely underestimates the toll.
This blows my mind. I don't understand the fact that in the year 2008, when doucheteens have Playstation 3, Xbox, iPods, and the intertubes, kids find entertainment by choking themselves to get a buzz.
Jesus. I would come home from school, spark one up, and either read a book or play Galaga. WTF?
Earth to douchteens!!! This shit is ridiculous.
Stop choking yourself to get "high". Stop painting your fingernails black. Stop using the word gay in every other fucking sentence. And please, for the love of Christ, stop telling me I should vote for L. Ron Paultard when you don't even know what the Federal fucking Reserve is.
kthxbi.
