Sure, it’s a little more unusual than ear piercing or tattoos, but it’s relatively harmless. Comparing it to huffing fermented feces, running headlong through a fence, or leaping across parking garage roofs several stories up, is ridiculous.

You do know there’s a difference between “stupid” and “things you don’t see the point of,” don’t you?

If Mary, the author of this article, seriously believes this, I feel more sorry for her than I do for the people in these videos. I am part if this generation that you speak of, and I do none of these things (Though I see nothing wrong with the elf ears and I think it would be pretty cool actually). The fact is, the people who participate in these activities (excluding elf ears) are the people who aren’t going to amount to anything. The future doctors and lawyers are NOT doing these things. In fact, the large majority of my generation is not. That’s the problem with the older generations of our country. You constantly look down on the youth and single out a few of the idiots, labeling the rest of us the same way. Maybe you people would understand this if there wasn’t such a disconnect between the youth and the older generations, but it’s a perpetual disconnect that is caused by the older generations assuming that since they are older they not only deserve our respect and admiration, but that they are more intelligent. In case you forgot, it’s your generations that are keeping the harmless drugs outlawed, so some people have to resort to huffing their own feces and urine or coming up with things like “Vodka Eyeballing” because they’re afraid of the ten plus years they may be sentenced to if caught with a small amount of a harmless drug such as marijuana.

Maybe you people should think about this before you post ignorant comments like “I can’t believe the youth of today,” and “Why are teenagers so stupid?”

Really? Elf ears. That’s actually somewhat cool. I wouldn’t do that, but it’s cool. Nothing like the other stuff on this list.
