I’ve never bothered to get involved in silly challenges. The one the other year that involved throwing a bucket of cold water over your head, for example. Anyway, there’s another one doing the rounds that I was unaware of. The Bird Box Challenge involves doing everyday things with your eyes closed. Even driving, apparently.
A teenager who crashed her car into another vehicle while taking part in the “Bird Box” challenge may face reckless driving charges.
Police say the 17-year-old from Layton, Utah caused the highway collision after taking to the wheel blindfolded.
Fucking hellski!
Lieutenant Travis Lyman warned others against following in her footsteps and emulating the characters in the film who evade sight-targeting creatures that make them kill themselves.
“Honestly, I’m almost embarrassed to have to say ‘Don’t drive with your eyes covered’, but you know apparently we do have to say that,” he said.
Yup, clearly you do. Darwin is working overtime, it seems.
Obviously, it’s better if those who follow such “challenges” expire before they can breed, but it’s very unfortunate that they could take innocent uninvolved people with them, too.
Yup.
May face reckless driving charges! She should face more charges than just reckless driving and be banned for a very long time.
Quite.
Personally I’d call for a psychiatrist To be so without even a basic instinct for self preservation would imply some sort of mental disfunction.
