This type of thing has been going on forever, although usually with sexual over tones.

Yip, and I wouldn't care much either tbh, but you just know morons will blame the net rather than stupidity itself...

Who wrote this article? Are they retarded?

Actually that's a stupid question, they must be - they work for Murdoch.


	Quote: The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention claims in the last ten years 86 children may have died in the UK playing 'the choking game'. There are no official figures for Britain, although the Department for Children, Schools and Families claims it is aware of the problem.

Er, you mean 86 children died in the US of A then. :roll:
