hey now, don’t you dare say Jezebel is race-baiting us!

They may not be racists, but that is some half-assed paint job... even by drunken college kid standards.

I wouldn’t even call it a mistake. They’re wearing purple body paint with aluminum foil antennae - no one this side of the Muppet monster lobby ought to identify with that.

In the X-Files, the aliens are greys.

Unless black people have foil antennae (and they don’t, it’s us Jews who have horns), yeah, they’re dressed as aliens and took a picture with lousy lighting. They may not be smart (should have considered that they LOOK like they’re wearing blackface, kinda, beore posting), but leave them alone.

From the linked article:

It’s not known among singers to be hard. It’s NOT hard.

Except this is a whole other level of not thinking. Even as a dumb teen, you still think about the variables at play. “What are my perceived chances things could get out of my control...”. In this situation there’s no variables, there’s just a steep, icy path you’re sitting in that every Calgary teen would know is…

Have you even seen the track? This is beyond a simple lapse of judgement.

It’s natural selection at work cleansing the gene pool of stupid.

What if a worker fell onto the track and slid at high speed into it? What? This isn’t a cliff. Stepping foot on the track does not result in you hurtling down it. A person who fell on the track would slide a few feet at most.

You win some, you luge some.

You raise stupid kids, shit gonna happen. Insure them and make plans for the inevitable windfall.

This is a prime candidate for the Darwin Award. It was a stupid idea that was carried out on purpose rather than accidentally and someone died. That’s the Darwin Awards in a nutshell. Age doesn’t factor into this.

Sorry to be the contrarian here, but i would never have done something this stupid when I was a teenager. And I wasn’t even a particularly sharp teenager. What I’m saying is: This was actually phenomenally stupid, even for teenagers.

Oh go jump in a lake about “all teens” and the stupid brain development excuse. I did nothing even close to this level of dangerous/stupid in the course of my teenage years, nor did most of my close friends to the best of my knowledge. I’m sick of people trying to excuse stupid behavior by teenagers by treating them…

I only ever hear these sentiments from people who escaped natural selection through sheer luck.

I don’t see how anyone that has observed bobsleds hauling ass down a mountain on TV would think this was a good ideas or even possible. You can die falling down in your bathtub.

Why quote the London Free Press? Thats like an incident happening in Denver and quoting the Akron Penny Saver.

Neil Howe (The guy who created the term ‘Millennial’) says the end date is 2004.
