Blue Pencil Chronicles

Kids these days. (And yeah, I’m talking as if I’m not a kid anymore. Huzzah!)

First there was rugby or solvent. Then there was shabu, also known as metamphetamine hydrochloride. Then the more”hip and cool” ecstasy came into the scene. And now what? Jenkem?!

To the uninitiated, Jenkem is actually a new substance that can allegedly get you “high”. But how does it work? I’ll let kevjumba do the talking:

Okay, that. is just. gross. tothepointofnoreturn.

Wikipedia says that is a narcotic recreational drug composed of noxious gas formed from fermented human sewage. Basically you take a poop and a wee, put it in some sort off bottle and top it off with a balloon and leave it to ferment under the sun for a couple of days. After fermenting, take the balloon out and inhale the gas inside it and voila! Instant high.

Having originally emerged amongst Zambian street children some time before the mid-1990s, Jenkem is according to widely reported anecdotal sources as of November 2007 in the process of attaining a foothold among US teenagers. However, several sources are alleging that these reports are based on a hoax. The reporting of this in US mainstream media has been marked by a rush of disbelief and distaste for the apparent grossness of the phenomenon. (from Wikipedia)

First off, kids, don’t do it. Don’t even come close to thinking about doing it! Remember that anything that comes out of your buttcrack is bad for your health. Don’t be like the peeps from the 2girls1cup video (this is far too gross to talk about. Just try to google it and see for yourself). Okay? That’s just gross. How could you inhale (or as in the case of one kid in the picture, drink) your own poop and wee wee?

It’s either these kids flashing their bling-blings and Austin tattoos have too much time in their hands, or they’re just plain stupid. OhGodplease don’t let this happen to the Philippines please please please please.
