Strange Fads

[loulizlee]

The other day I saw a segment on a news show about the newest (and most disgusting) fad that has started - eyeball licking.  It seems this fad started in Japan, where it is supposed to be an act of affection, like kissing.  Before you try it, the doctor on the show stressed this is a very dangerous practice.  There are innumerable bacteria in the mouth which can cause infection in the eyeball (very serious and painful).  Of course, I wondered why you would not get this bacteria from kissing, but I guess in that case you are just trading bacteria.     Seriously, the eye is very sensitive, and I don't believe anyone would want to lose theirs.  If you saw the pictures of people after trying this, you would probably think twice.

I think the problem is your mouth can fight off the bacteria that they other person gives you, where as eyes aren't meant to do that.  I meant, between food and utensils and random bugs, our mouths get used to fighting things off, where as our eyes generally start freaking out if anything gets close to them.

I figure, do whatever you want, but I would never do that.  Personally I don't quite see the attraction to it, but I didn't understand the whole vampire trend either or some of the other strange things I've heard.

That sounds absolutely gross.  I wouldn't want any one licking my eyeballs.  Do you know where that tongue has been?  And I thought the Eskimos were weird because they kiss by rubbing their noses!  At least they are not passing germs around!

That is really weird.  I wonder how someone even came up with that!  I think how easy it is to even get pink eye from someone, much less from someone's tongue...

Have you heard about those who are getting drunk on alcohol vapor?  I saw one report on the news about an alcoholic who thought that just smelling the vapor would be a way he could enjoy it without actually drinking it.  Others say people can get drunk on the vapors, including chancing alcohol poisoning, and even possible overdoses that could end in death.

Um.  I dont want to be the giver or receiver of this.

That's disgusting.  Japanese people are strange they are always coming up with some crazy stuff.

I would say that women or men liking that bowling ball pin lady gaga figure she has is a total fleeting trend/fad.   gross

Wow.... There are many people in my life that I truly love, but licking their eyeball? sorry, I guess I will have to be a loser on this FAD.... weird.

[crazyzoo]

Gross somethings should just not be done no matter how much I love someone I am not licking their eyes yuck!

[briannajeanxo]

thats just gross.. how would that even become a fad?

[squirrelgirl44]

That sounds totally disgusting. I can't imagine wanted to 1). do that to someone or 2). wanting someone to do that to me.

Yuck. it does not sound good at all. What are they thinking except to get their 15 minutes of fame or shame. I don't know which. Most Fads are a passing thing and some people really get hurt or sick with them.

[sweetsweepgirl]

To each his own  That's all I got.

This one has been around for a while, but, beware, if you try it, you may end up on a ventilator.  "Cinnamon challenge" is daring someone to swallow a spoonful of cinnamon without water.  Not a good idea!
