Yep.
That's my cousin the guy on the top.
Oh God, my family is fantastic
Yeah, kids used to do that at my school all the time. Called them "Blackies" (for "blacking out", I assume, as opposed to the casually racist connotation the generation before us would have given that word).
I laughed my ass off at them.
Truth be told, right now as far as I can tell it's not as big as a deal as the article would have you believe, as least where I live. And as much as I hate to defend my cousin, the video they took the picture from was his "Martial-Arts" friend testing chokeholds on him, which it stated in the description. But it's the media. They're not going to give up a good story for facts
Certainly not Sky. Which is, kinda, our Fox. (Well, it's owned by Rupert Murdoch too anyway).
UK: breeding a new generation of BDSMers.
QuoteChildren are copying what they see in the videos and think they'll get a similar high to taking drugs.
Simple solution - give out free drugs to teenage schoolchildren. They already get free condoms, why not complete the party?
To the Conservative Mind, I bet there is little to no difference, both being equally abhorrent.
LSD flavoured condoms.
If you're going to do something to outrage people, do it right.
I like the way your mind works :)

that guy is hardcore, he wanted to know what flesheating bacteria actually did to you so when he sprained his left ankle and got infected right foot he declined antibiotics for 2 months.

This was an initiation rite at my primary school. You did the hyperventilating, then someone strangled you then, when you blacked out everyone kicked the shit out of you.
Then someone dropped the dude who'd just passed out on his head and he went into a coma and fucked it up for everybody. :argh!:

Impossible! That would end with cannibalism.
Auto-cannibalism, probably.
