Of all the viral challenges ever created, the #CondomChallenge is perhaps the most ridiculous one that ever was or ever will be.
Looks like someone finally figured out that to turn something into an internet sensation, one just needs to add a hashtag. Videos, vines, instagrams posts - mostly by teens who clearly have no homework whatsoever - are slowly taking over timelines.
The challenge involves dunking a condom filled with water over one's head to show that it won't break. So clever. While nobody is sure as to where, when, why and how this idiocy first began but the reasoning behind the idea is to raise awareness.
The genius who came up with this wants you to know that if it's big enough to fit over your head, it can fit, well elsewhere too. Basically, they're trying to say that no man is too big for a condom. By almost choking themselves. #GeniusHoTohAisa
Below are some of the most mind-numbingly idiotic stunts where people willingly let others smother them with a water-filled condom.

Stupider and stupider.
The last tag-game to go viral was the #IceBucket challenge, which was started to create awareness about ALS. But while the intention was noble, it did result in a few deaths.
Do we really want to go ahead and make a challenge as random and dangerous as this one become viral? Stupidity really is recurring.
