Crazy people were spreading stupid shit like this on youtube for decades but I would really like to know why Vice thinks this is newsworthy now. Did the society became so stupid that being an idiot influences is now a valid profession?

being a court fool or village idiot have been professions too. The problem nowdays is that too many people look up to the idiots as someone to seriously listen to, not as entertainment.
