*NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED*
Knew that title would get your attention. Anyway : Okay so talking about Mr. Chuck Palahniuk [Fight Club author] got me to looking him up and I discovered this. It's a short story he reads at various book tours and events that has to date caused about 80 people to pass out at it's readings. I haven't listened to it yet. I'll be the first to admit I'm not made of steel with this stuff. If it was printed word it might be easier. Anyone want to give it a shot and report back the damage?

I've read it, it's in his book Haunted. It's pretty bad. I'm not usually disgusted or scared by things I read, but this did it for me. It's probably worse listening to it, so I don't know if I can brave it again.

It only makes you pass out if you are stupid enough to hold your breath for 21 minutes.

Looking around the internet most people who passed out certainly didn't have it happen from holding their breath. Last edited by Stu; 09-09-2011 at 04:56 PM. |

Well I'm eight minutes in and it's not that bad. Maybe I've been scarred from various "shock sites"

I guess. After all it's the same genius behind the Mr. Men phenomenon.

It reminds me of the time my parents found my childhood teddy bear and found that i'd cut a hole into it. things were never the same after that...
