All the rave: The Choking Game

Call me insensitive (as your attorney I advice you to call me insensitive [Currently Reading: Fear And Loathing]) but I laugh every time I hear of another kid dying because of the "choking game". How stupid must you be to choke yourself? Every media report about a death related to the choking game appears to be uniform. They start by explaining that Stupid X Kid was a normal, white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant who played sports/volunteered/was respected by teachers in his or her school, the reporter then proceeds to inform us of the choking game crisis and its severity. If you ask me, this crisis needs no cure. It is a nice way to clean the human gene pool. If you're stupid enough to choke yourself, you shouldn't be allowed to procreate. (I like it when nature works nicely). The reporter then focuses back on the child's mother. They might even show her crying. I'm not going to make fun of a crying mother, I'm sure loosing a kid sucks and all yet still I would take that as a blessing. If my kid choked himself /herself to death at fourteen I would take it as a sign that he/she would have grown-up to be a dead-beat moron (the kind that honk at you on the freeway even though you're already going seventy-five fucking miles-per-hour, technically speeding, technically breaking the law. But that's a whole 'nother story). I would think of all the trouble I have been spared of. The reporter then ends with a cliche question, to leave you thinking.

Where is this world heading to?

Well, if the stupid kids keep choking themselves to death, we are surely heading into an intellectual utopia. If only the right-wingers could figure out how to play the choking game, it would truly be a utopia.
