Condom snorting

[Kitiger]

Are kids actually snorting condoms and then pulling them out of their mouths?

And why?

I read that some then have to go to the hospital. My guess is that they can't get the condom back out, on their own.

This is usually just preceded or followed by the phrase "Hold my beer!". Oftentimes also followed by a trip to the ER.

Or..."HEY WATCH THIS!!!"

I don't think this is actually occurring. There was a girl in 2007 that did this on YouTube, and that was recently found by parents in Texas, which started the buzz about it.

This is a case of really bad "reporting".

Maybe ThatJenGirl is right; I haven't heard any more about it. But my husband did see it on the evening news, on TV.

If this is a case of bad reporting, shouldn't those same news programs admit that they were wrong and publicly apologize?
