Boner Candidate #1: PEOPLE ARE GONNA LOVE THIS.

It’s a Friday afternoon, and I’m finding myself watching a video of a guy who cemented his head inside a microwave. What? Welcome to 2017 everyone, where common sense no longer matters. In the video below, 22-year-old Jimmy “Jay” Swingler from the YouTube channel TGFbro put his head inside a bag in a microwave and… filled it with polyfilla. The incident took place in Fordhouses, Wolverhampton, UK. Yeah, it’s really dumb. Yeah, it could have killed him. Yeah, it nearly did.
