I ask this question after reading this http://www.thenewsnerd.com/local/boy-dies-participating-facebook-fire-challenge/ What is wrong with this world? I will not post the video here as it's disrespectful to a degree even though the boy(R.I.P.) is a idiot. Though some people say he's alive and made another video. If so then sir you're a dumbass. No offense but even if you're dead you're a dumbass. Who the BUFFALO, NY – A 15-year-old boy has died after participating in a game that is circulating on the popular social network FaceBook. James Shores was burned to death after his entire body was engulfed in flames. The #FireChallenge involves covering your body with an accelerant and setting yourself on fire. One’s friends will then video the act and share it on the internet. The imbecilic act is supposed to elicit laughter as onlookers and internet viewers watch the reaction from the party who is on fire. Shores doused himself with alcohol and was set ablaze by his friends. Those who participate in this “game,” usually do so inside of the shower in case the fire spreads. In Shores case, he was not near the shower or any other water source. His friends battled unsuccessfully to put the fire out, and he later died from his injuries. Police are warning participators about the dangers of this act and have urged the public to stop sharing the videos. Police Commissioner James Daniels spoke with News-Two saying, “We are deeply saddened by this tragedy and offer our condolences to the family. It is paramount that the public stop sharing these videos. The people who participate in this so-called “game” do so for the notoriety and short-lived fame they receive on the internet. Taking away this fame could deter others from making the same mistake.” FaceBook is doing their part by deleting all #FireChallege videos off of their website. |

I think we can bypass nomination since he doused himself in alcohol and lit himself on fire. That is Darwin Award winner material right there. |

This is why there's a difference between something that's risky and something that's stupid. Sky Diving is risky, its an act that if done wrong can get you seriously hurt or killed. The difference is that Sky Diving is something that tries to do its best to keep someone from getting harmed and has specific regulations and safety measures put into it. Stupid...well is this. At this point, I don't nor will I have any sympathy for crap like this. The kid did this to himself and he's paid the consequences. It might sound callous but then again maybe he shouldn't have set himself on fire. Now who's up for a game of Real Life Hangman? It's just like hangman...but you use a person instead of a drawing. |

Shiz, hope people don't suck at English if i'm the person lol. OT: This is really stupid. Just like the Knockout game. IDK why someone would come up with something like this. Then again, theirs a lot of things in this world that make me shake my head in total disapproval. Edited by Yusuke, Jul 30 2014, 08:38 PM.

My sympathy goes for him he was not stupid for doing this but Immature in the sense he had an urge to be centre of attention. We will always do mistakes and learn from it. Which is how we turned from being annoying screaming little kids who wants everything to being more moderate (varies on individual). |

Yeah no sympathy from me unless he was never told what fire does and was tricked in to it as hilariously oblivious as that would be. Kids today... If all the people this stupid would just leave the planet, that'd be great. |

I don't understand how these "games" get popular. Who can possibly be stupid enough to set themselves on fire and think its a good idea.... |

Natural selection at its best... Most of the times I think: Oh, these kids are uneducated and ignorant. It's pretty sad. But in this case? Nope... It's fire... What more do I need to say? A 2 year old know that these guys are f***ing dumb Edited by Ginyu, Jul 30 2014, 10:37 PM.

The more dead stupid people, the better. We walk around day by day with people like this and sometimes they get higher positions than normal semi-intelligent people...think about that. |
