Bird Box Challenge
« on: January 14, 2019, 08:02:33 am »
Have you heard about this crazy craze yet?

I can't believe how many people are stupid enough to risk losing their lives over something so obviously useless.

Haven't heard of the challenge.. Did however see the movie... and it doesn't suprise me that there is now a challenge for it.. I don't understand all these challenges.. they just seem to get stupider and stupider.. Snorting condoms, eating tidepods, car surfing, hot peppers , etc.. It's absolutly incredible the amount of stupid this world is coming to.. ::)

Good grief!  Where are people's brains??? 

I can't believe people are idiotic enough to take any challenge or dare that could be deadly to themselves and others in mere seconds.  Drive blindfolded????  Testing and driving is dangerous enough---illegal in most states--

Such insane challenges are thought up these days. I am not at all surprised. Hopefully they will stop doing it soon.

A few have already stopped, when they discovered the consequences.

I heard about it on the radio on the way in to work today. Reminded me of that stunt kids were pulling (also based on a movie scene) where they would lie down flat on the double yellow line on a busy street.


Movies are movies, video games are video games, and real life is real life.  There is no rewind or reset button folks!

I have heard of this. This just goes to show that some people will fall for anything they think is the latest craze.
How idiotic?

I watched Bird Box a few weeks ago. As I was watching the scene where they were driving with blacked out windows using the GPS to navigate, first I thought 'nope, sorry, GPS isn't that accurate' and then I thought 'I wonder how many people are going to try to do this now.'

I have not heard of this challenge yet.  Kids will do some really dumb things as challenges.  Some might be harmless but others are not.
