Neknominate: e-madness that kills

On January 17th we had published about the new fashion that unfortunately kills ... The article was entitled Neknominate: A dangerous alcoholic fashion is spread on the internet. As all show, "fashion" is spreading from Australia to other continents.
Today's newspaper Nea had a tribute to "killing fashion"
They consume massive amounts of alcohol – so much so that they hardly know what they're doing. They videotape themselves in strange poses, post the material on and then cause other users to do the same.

This is a new Internet fad that is far more dangerous than you can imagine: it appeared just a few weeks ago - first in Australia and later in the US and some European countries - and has already been blamed for the deaths of just five people. in Britain.
Neknominate, as it is called, is spreading lightly and today it is the favorite engagement of thousands of Internet users.
The rules of the "game" are simple. Participants drink alcohol in one piece in front of their webcam or mobile phone camera: whisky, vodka, gin – or a mix of all of the above, which they often mix with food and egg yolks or drink through , even from… toilet bowls.

They are then asked to implement their craziest idea: for example, to stay with the underwear in a department store, just like a few days ago a young lady.

Other recent examples include a woman who entered a supermarket riding a horse, a skateboarding youngster on a highway and a student who consumed large amounts of alcohol in a packed university amphitheater.

Οσο πιο αλλόκοτες είναι οι σκηνές στις οποίες πρωταγωνιστούν οι παίκτες τόσο περισσότερα «μπράβο» θα εισπράξουν από τους θεατές τους. Αφού ανεβάσουν το βίντεο στο Ι, other users named by the creator of the video take over by asking them to imitate him. But several times the "game" does not end as the participants would like.
The last victim of the Neknominate was an 20-year-old Briton from Nottingham. A few days ago, Bradley Imm staged a video where he appeared to drink jeans in which he had shed tea bags. "So is drunk" appears to say in the video. A few minutes after filming, Bradley told his friends that he "feels sick" and that his belly "hurts." Four days later he was found dead in his home.

Some of his company encouraged his act. Others had warned him that the "game" was extremely risky, but he had told them he had to "show who the boss is." The police confirmed that they were aware of the video but added that the causes of 20ron's death are unknown.

His stepfather raised an article on the Internet, referring to another tragedy caused by Neknominate, commenting: "Everyone should stop immediately." It is speculated that Bradley had consumed a quantity of jeans equivalent to 30 shots in the two minutes of the video. Then he caused other friends to "overcome" his success.

Parents in despair
In recent weeks, British parents have discovered one after another that their children are part of Neknominate's sick chain.

"A few days before my 15 son recorded me on a video and uploaded the mix of alcoholic beverages he consumed through his boot on the Internet. He had mixed frozen beans and a raw egg with half a bottle of vodka "is the testimony of the father of a British teenager.

The mother of an 19hron from Scotland was shocked when her son had lost consciousness and was cluttered on the couch of their home. He had previously participated in a Neknominate tour.

The woman decided not to stay with her arms crossed: upload the photo of her blunt son on Facebook to raise public awareness and bring the social network in front of her responsibilities. Facebook, however, replied that it can not block the videos of the "game" participants as they do not violate the terms of use of the service.

The phenomenon

The term Neknominate was invented by teenagers in Australia and New Zealand, who started uploading videos on the Internet that show them drinking large amounts of alcohol and then doing bizarre or dangerous acts (eg drinking drinks through toilet bowl).

The phenomenon was immediately "foolish", but it did not soon become part of a global culture among young people from Australia, the US and Britain. The relevant team created on facebook brought together thousands of likes in just a few weeks.

Those who responded to the challenges
- Ross Cummins, an 22-time Dublin DJ, died on Saturday 1 February from excessive alcohol consumption during a Neknominate challenge.
- Steven Brooks, an 29-year-old from England, died in Cardiff on Sunday of February 9 after drunk two bottles of vodka.
– Isaac Richardson, 20 years old , collapsed on February 8 in London after drinking a cocktail of whiskey, vodka and white wine.
- Bradley Ims, 20 rugby player, drank 30 denim teapots with tea. Died on 10 February.
