Ahhhhh, Darwin at his finest....

I first had to figure out that this was a theme to some kind of song? Who the fuck thinks it's cool to get out of a moving vehicle and do dance moves while facing it in public roads? At what level must your retardation be at?

Collectively, and all too often individually, people are stupid. I believe this forum alone establishes that. Nevertheless, the National Transportation Safety Board felt it necessary to issue this warning, which makes me sad:

“Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. Hopping out of a moving vehicle or jumping into lanes of traffic to show your dance moves is foolish and dangerous – to you and those around you,” said Nicholas Worrell, Chief of Safety Advocacy at the National Transportation Safety Board.

He adds, “There’s a time and place for everything, but our nation’s highways and roadways are no place for the #inmyfeelings challenge.”

The people in this video should be force-fed Tide pods until they are completely removed from the gene pool.

And we need to do something about that. Since we're not going to make people smarter merely by pointing out how stupid they are, we should attack the problem from the other direction. In retrospect society dropped the ball on that whole Tide pod thing. Instead of warning people of the dangers of eating detergent and locking the product up so that it was harder to buy we should have been doing exactly the opposite. We could have promoted it as a perfect counter-culture game to show the normal people how cool you could be by eating Tide, we could have secretly changed the formula to make them more lethal and we could have tripled the supply and cut the price so that they were easily available in bulk, like $20 would buy enough to supply an entire frat party. It was perfect, idiots wanted to improve the gene pool by killing themselves in a way that was perfectly safe to innocent bystanders AND WE TRIED TO STOP THEM!!!! WTF were we thinking??

The bell curve could have been cleaned up in one mass suicide by Tide spree and humanity would have been better off for it. So let's brain storm this. Maybe if we put our heads together we can come up with a fun and efficient way for the morons to whack themselves that is not a danger to the rest of us. And ideally it should be REALLY funny when the selfies are found on the cell phones of the deceased. One billion CoolCoin to whoever comes up with the best idea.

You know this is serious when the NTSB gets involved lol. Normally they only investigate things like plane or train or other large scale crashes lol.

Wait as stupid as this "challenge" is do other drivers really just keep driving and run them over? I think they are equally as stupid. It's not like they pop out of the car into the traffic, they're on the road for a decent amount of time before they get hit. Plenty of time for any traffic to slow down and stop... and probably honk the horn and wave their arms in rage.

I don't think anyone is actually being run over. They're just stating that it increases the potential for serious injury. This is like the Teen Wolf car surfing, The Program laying down in the middle of the road, "ghost ride your whip" (actually isn't that the same thing as this?) type of thing where I think its somewhat being blown out of proportion (that's not to say some people aren't being stupid and doing this, often being injured lightly but most importantly setting up potentially catastrophic situations).

This is stupid, but its not been quite as overtly stupid as you seem to be taking it (they are not doing this suddenly in the middle of fast moving traffic, all the ones I've seen they were going slow and likely on low-traffic streets). I saw one where someone in the backseat got out and did it along a freeway, but the car was pretty clearly on the shoulder area (not in actual lane of traffic).

Also, believe it or not, people did stupid shit like this before social media and it wasn't just Millennials. I seem to recall the Top Gear guys reminiscing about similar stupid shit they'd do, like the driver climbing out the window over the car and into the other side. I think there was a "musical chairs" one that people did where they'd stop or slow down and then honk and everyone would change to a different seat too. And I know that loading up a pickup bed full of idiots and driving like a jackass was common.

They need to have their driving licences taken away and use public transport for year or two. Might make them treat driving with a bit of respect then.
