Girl Scalds Brother When She Throws Boiling Hot Water On Him As Part of an ‘Internet Challenge’

Kids these days. When they’re not butt funneling, they’re scalding siblings by throwing boiling hot water on them because the internet told them to.

This video is bizarre in too many ways to count. If this is supposedly an example of what happens when this prank “goes wrong,” can I please be pointed to an example of when it went right? Are there any groups of friends who crack up over the time Ol’ Bill caught a face full of boiling water and had a layer of skin melt off?

As if the “prank” itself weren’t weird enough, the second half of the video takes a super unexpected turn. If you told me when I started that video that I would soon be serenaded by the woeful sounds of Alanis Morissette, I would’ve popped you right in the throat for lying to me. Don’t get me wrong, I’d put myself in the category of Alanis superfan (“Head Over Feet” is a go-to ‘raoke song for me), it’s just totally out-of-the-blue.

While the video itself might be weird, I’m totally on board with the general message of the PSA, which can be summarized as “Kids… Stop Being Fucking Idiots.”
