CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA, YOU HAVE A NEW CHALLENGE ON YOUTUBE,
SOME OF THESE CAN BE INCREDIBLY POSITIVE, THE ICE BUCKET
CHALLENGE RAISED MILLIONS, THIS ONE IS NOT IN THAT CATEGORY.
THIS IS APPARENTLY A CHALLENGE RELATED TO CONDOMS.
THERE IS NO
WAY THIS STORY ENDS WELL.
LET'S GET STARTED, FIRST OF ALL THIS
IS THE SACRAMENTO BEE WRITING HERE --
WHEN EDUCATORS ARE WARNING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT INVOLVES
CONDOMS, WATCH OUT.
SO I WAS THINKING, CONDOM CHALLENGE, WHAT
ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH IT?
UH-OH.
BUCKLE UP, BRACE FOR
IMPACT --
THRILLING.
AN IDEA AS BAD AS CONDOM SNORTING HAS GONE VIRAL
AGAIN.
NOW, THEY EXPLAIN --
OKAY.
UM, HAVE YOUR PICK OF DISASTROUS CONDOM CHALLENGE
IDEAS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING A CONDOM FILLED WITH WATER DROPPED
ON YOUR HEAD?
HOW THAT DIDN'T LEAD TO SEVERAL SHOOTINGS IN
AMERICA I WILL NEVER KNOW, AND THANK GOD FOR THAT, THAT
EVERYBODY WAS OKAY, BUT THAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA, ONLY MATCHED BY
AN EVEN WORSE IDEA WHICH IS THIS CONDOM SNORTING THING.
NOW
DIFFERENT NEWS STORIES HAVE THIS DATING BACK TO 2013 AND SOME AS
EARLY AS 2007, YOUTUBE HAS BEEN TRYING TO DELETE THOSE VIDEOS
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FACT A DANGEROUS IDEA, BUT LET ME GIVE
YOU MORE IMPORTANT CONTEXT ON THIS STORY --
WELL, OF COURSE.
IF YOU DON'T SHOW PEOPLE YOURSELF SNORTING
CONDOMS ON YOUTUBE, DID IT REALLY HAPPEN?
OKAY.
YOU ALREADY
LOST ME ON THE SNORTING PART, BUT WHEN IT GOES THROUGH THE
THROAT AND THAT PLASTIC CAN GET STUCK, THAT SEEMS LIKE A
PARTICULARLY BAD IDEA.
BUT THEY HAVE TO CLARIFY, SO THE
SACRAMENTO BEE SAYS --
FORBES HAD TO REPORT THAT.
I WOULD THINK THAT ANYBODY WITH
ANY DEGREE OF SENSE COULD TELL THAT IF YOU SNORT A CONDOM
THROUGH YOUR NOSE AND OUT YOUR MOUTH IT COULD GET STUCK IN YOUR
THROAT AND POSE A CHOKING HAZARD.
I'M LESS WORRIED ABOUT
THE ALLERGIES, BUT IF YOU HAVE CONDOM ALLERGIES I WOULDN'T
SNORT IT.
THEY THEN FURTHER BOTHERED TO ASK AN EXPERT, BRUCE
LEE, YES, HIS NAME IS ACTUALLY BRUCE LEE, HE'S A PROFESSOR,
THEY WENT AND TALKED TO A PROFESSOR --
YES, AS I SAID EARLIER, HE IS A PROFESSOR.
AND I LOVE HIS LAST
LINE HERE, HE SAYS --
AND THE RESOUNDING ANSWER TO THAT, BY THE WORLD, WAS YES.
NOW, I DISAGREE, I DON'T THINK THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GET
VIEWS, WE ONCE DID A HARLEM SHAKE HERE ON THE YOUNG TURKS,
WE WILL NOT BE SNORTING ANY CONDOMS HERE.
I THINK THAT'S A
DISASTROUS IDEA.
I GUESS AS THE OLDEST PARTNER OF YOUTUBE HERE
AT THE YOUNG TURKS IT'S MY JOB AS GRANDPA CENK TO SAY GET OFF
MY LAWN.
IN OTHER WORDS DON'T DO THAT, IT'S A BAD IDEA, YOU CAN
GET HURT, AND IT'S NOT WORTH THE LIKES AND VIEWS, ALTHOUGH
APPARENTLY CHILDREN ACROSS AMERICA DISAGREE.
