Epic question

[0mn1p0t3ntg6y]

Probably everyone on the escapist(since we all obviously have internet access) has likely seen the epic fail photos and videos roaming th internet. How? Are some people really that stupid? Or are they staged? Or feel free to share some.

Many are staged. Many start out as "Best. Idea. Ever." moments that go oh so wrong. The rest are due to blatant stupidity. Yes, there are people that are really that stupid.

What this guy said. Most are for laughs and go wrong, some are staged and look real, some are staged and look staged and the rest is just what we get to see of those who need to be filtered out of the gene pool.

I will never be amazed by people's capacity for stupidity, lest I never cease rolling my eyes and pull a muscle.

I think we all need to step back and admit to yourselves, "Yes I am/have been curious what would happen if I set my nuts on fire." and when you willing too admit too yourselves this everything looks less stupid.

What happens when you set you nuts on fire: Immense pain. And that is the only reason you need not to set your nuts on fire.

 

[Bocaj2000]

My question is this: Does it matter?

Even if it is staged, I would prefer to suspend my disbelief for the sake of humor.

 

[moonlantern]

Stupidity has no limits.

 

[Skorpyo]

I choose to ignore this nagging doubt, and proceed to laugh at them.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

I am severely disappointed by the title of this thread.


And I would wager that many are just random acts of sheer stupidity by people who are desperate for attention.

The difference being that most of us that are curious about setting our nuts on fire find ourselves under attack by common sense rather quickly. Common sense comes to our rescue to remind us that fire is fucking hot and getting hit in the nuts is fucking painful, hence setting our nuts on fire will be doubly fucking painful. And hot.
