Iowa teen recovering in ICU after attempting ‘Kiki Challenge’

The “Kiki Challenge” involves stepping out of a MOVING CAR.

“We were over by the roundabout, and I thought it would be a fun idea to do the Kiki Challenge… I tried, and the last thing I remember was opening the door. So apparently I got out and tripped and fell and hit my head.”

A lot of people think that it’s a shame that voting rates are so low, that we should be doing more to expand the franchise. This here is evidence that *fewer* people should be voting. Anyone doing the “Kiki Challenge” or swallowing Tide Pods or swallowing teaspoons full of cinnamon or snorting condoms or joining Antifa or blocking highways or wearing Che-shirts has demonstrated insufficient intelligence and/or sense to be allowed the reins of voting power.

OK, OK, this is basically yet another moral panic. “O Noes, the kids these days are particularly stupid, society is dooooomed.” But there *are* some number of rampaging dumbfarks who think that this sort of thing is a good idea. These sort of things differ from normal immature dumbfrakery that kids get into in some important ways. These things are not done for the entertainment value of the thing itself, but for Instagram fame. As such, the risks involved are not offset by the ability to truly enjoy them (what actual enjoyment can one get from pouring hot water on yourself or someone else, as opposed to binge drinking or slam dancing or whatever the kids do these days), and as such, the level of SHEER STUPIDITY far outweighs everything else.
