The latest thing I've been seeing is the Waterboarding challenge (spin off from the ice bucket challenge) to bring awareness to PTSD and Veteran suicide. Some guys are adding bear mace to the equation as well. Have you guys seen this? Thoughts?

Two things bother me with this!!
1) Someone will likely drown because of it eventually
2) That poor POW that was tortured and ends up watching something like this because the intent is good, could cause them to have some PTSD flashbacks.

I will end with the famous saying "The road to disaster, is often paved with good intentions".

With the exception of the ice bucket challenge most of these are just plain stupid. Seriously, this one doesn't surprise me. I just saw one the other day for a Train Challenge. Basically you lay down in between the tracks and let the train pass over The top of you. Not kidding, there's a vid of some dumbass doing this.
But could dumb challenges like these be new methods of Natural Selection?
