And the new craze is...Condom Snorting.

[game-lover]

What is the appeal of this?

If someone can explain that to me, I'll let it go.

You know . Reading this makes me wonder if my childhood was more tame that everyone elses . I mean ,never have the thought occured to me to put ANYTHING up my nose . Well you taught me something today . Not something perticularly usefull mind you , but something nonetheless . Does this have any practical uses?

Yeah, it makes me wonder if spending time mixing up incendiaries of various kinds, starting small fires, and disassembling fireworks to combine them into bigger ones wasn't considerably less stupid than what everyone else was doing.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Okay... First they come up with weird things like planking and now something disgusting like this?

What's next? Sniffing a cat's butt? We should call it "cheesing".

I'll be honest . Being a pyromanic sounds a lot cooler , and safer than what these kids are doing today. Plus if you accidentally died people could write on you tombstone that you died the same way you lived , blowing shit up . As opposed to choking on a comdom that you put up your nose.

Seriously, is there REALLY nothing in the ENTIRE world that these brain dead, p*** poor idiots can't entertain themselves with? Apparently they're also uninteresting and unappealing enough to not get laid because they seem to find this alternative to using a condom more pleasurable. That's simply a waste of a condom.

This is the single most idiotic thing that I've ever heard and it's unfortunate that it had ever gained popularity. If s*** like this is what will pass on as "entertainment" now and in the future...

There's no way snorting a condom up your nose could lead to problems. Not at all.

/sarcasm

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

Yes, rest easy fellow Interwebber. The stupidity scanner is years off anyway.

Alright. I apologise if it was meant to be obvious sarcasm. I have read so much stupid shit on the internet that has been said seriously, so 'ya know. Never know what people believe on here sometimes.

Thanks to the one and only Sassafrass [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Sassafrass] for bringing this...interesting story to my attention.

So yeah, it seems that Condom Snorting [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/15/condom-challenge-snorting-condoms-videos_n_3085258.html] is apparently a thing now, and at least judging by the views on the videos within that link, a relatively popular thing indeed.

Basically, it involves sniffing a condom up through the nose, and then pulling it out through the mouth.

And to show you how it's done, here's "savannah Strong"! (she was picked because out of the videos in the link her's was the most popular with over a million views in a week)


So what does everybody think of this then?

Personally, it's definitely one of the weirder, and perhaps stupider things I've seen, but whatever whiles away the hours I suppose.

For christs sake. You can't just take videos you find on youtube and call it a new thing. This isn't popular amongst people. Nobody does this. And if people do, we've only got people like you to thank for it, since you're bringing so much fucking attention to the whole thing.

 

[jpoon]

Sounds like the perfect activity for fucking morons.

 

[Weaver]

I guess I just kind of have to ask... "Why"?
Also, I buy relatively more expensive than usual condoms (there's a kind I like) and I don't want to waste one just to snort it up my nose on youtube.

 

[Prosis]

It's shock value.

Look at reality TV. Look at celebrities. While people can still be defined by talent, it is much easier to be revered and celebrated through shock and disgust.

That's why this is popular. It's ridiculous that someone would do this. So ridiculous, the watcher sends the video to every person they know. Thus, the person gains popularity.

 

[Altorin]

Hey, my friend does that! He apparently prefers unlubricated condoms because the lubed up ones leave a bad taste in your nose.

The more you know.

A bad "taste" in your nose? Lolwut ?

As far as I know your nose has way more taste buds than your tongue.

When I was eleven or twelve years old, my friends and I came up with the idea to drink Dr. Pepper through our noses... And once I got over the sparkling sensation in my nose, the "taste" of it came through way more intense than if I had just drunk it the regular way.

lol.

I don't even really know where to start with this but I think you might have just won some internets.

and no, the inside of your nose doesn't have taste buds.

it has smell receptors, and most of the "taste" of food (we actually tend to use the word flavour as opposed to taste in this context) is derived from your olfactory structures in your nose. basically you smell food through the back of your throat to get a more nuanced idea of its flavor. The tongue contains binary receptors (they're either on or off) that detect tastes - sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami (the taste of cooked meat). Your tongue can't taste what something is, it just primes the rest of your digestive system with an educated guess as to the chemical makeup required to digest the food you're eating.

So someone puts a party trick on the internets and now everyone is calling the end of the world and handing out darwin awards. Id say "grow up", but this is one of the times that ironically doesn't fit. This is nothing new. I did it once when I was in high school. Someone bought a condom and dared me to do it, so I did. With the exception of it being very uncomfortable and tickling to the nose, nothing happened. No one died, the earth didn't stop moving, and the evolution didn't go backwards. We laughed about it, and then the next class started.

Might explaining me what "Planking" is?

OT: It's all fun and games untill someone chokes to death, there's only one place hwere the condom should go but I won't be making an R rated comment.

 

[The]

Allow me to post what I think of it in gif form.

Yeah, that about sums it up for me.

This is the next craze! Headbanging.

I got to catch up with the times. I'm still Vodka-Eyeballing.
