Just reading up on the latest Rotten News and I found a few couple gems worth sharing:

Boy charged with felony for carrying sugar

Come on now, POWDERED SUGAR?!?!?!?

Boy Dies From 'Choking Game'
http://www.wnbc.com/news/6796785/detail.html

Well, at least they're not looking at porn.

That powdered sugar report....surely somebody will see sense somewhere along the line and drop the whole thing. Won't they? Surely?

The "Choking Game" one is just so wrong.
"Kids stop the flow of oxygen to their brain, then release pressure on the arteries, getting a rush when the blood flow resumes to the brain."

Where the hell do they get their ideas from?
Jeez.
What a sad mess of a world.

So now the kids are playing too. ::shaking head::
Once they get older they'll most likely add porn and sex into the mix too.
Choking (aka breath control) is a very dangerous game to play, no matter how old you are.

A little info for any interested adults...

Man, that powdered sugar thing is messed up. Maybe there is more to the story than what is being presented in that article. If there isn't, then some people really need to get a life and start helping that kid with his science project instead of making him so jaded he'll become a coke dealer.

We used to do the choking thing when I was a teenager as well. Being dumb kids, we had no idea that it was potentially dangerous. As Simon mentioned, we did eventually add other things to the mix. Parents really need to pay better attention to their kids. Bad things do happen.
