Some middle school kid around here died from that a while ago, it sucks.

I've seen people do it at parties and such, and it looks pretty gay.

Games been around for awhile now. I've never done it, but I've seen people ]do it. It's freaking retarded.

Sad, but it's Darwinism at it's finest.

So I guess if your kids say that they are just gonna hang out, you should make them be a little more specific.

Didn't the singer of a fairly well known pop(ish) band die that way too? About five years ago or so..

Are you talking about Michael Hutchence from INXS?
He's the reason that stupid "Rockstar" TV show is on.

The really sad thing is that there are ways of doing this without hanging yourself. We did it as kids but we never choked each other or hung ourselves. We hyperventilated then held our breath. You get dizzy. It's stupid but we were 11, what do you expect?

These kids aren't just stupid they are really really stupid!

My theory is that he wasn't depressed, he was practicing auto erotic asphyxiation.

Yep. I just did some google checking and that's who I was thinking of. Really sad, since his grilfriend Paula Yates died three years later, in a typical rock adn roll fashion.

Looks like the wrong people died. That thing is awful.
