I’m not a fan of pranks. Never have been, likely never will. They’re tolerable when being done on complete strangers on the Web, naturally, but if I’m involved at all I hate it, even if I’m not the one being pranked.
That’s why I hate Ashton Kutcher, who made his name being a douchebag by pranking people, and why I really don’t like this video. The problem is I can’t stop myself from watching it.
Most pranks are a bit of fun, with the chances of serious injury negligible. Mainly because people aren’t so stupid as to risk someone’s wellbeing for a quick laugh. But not this one; no, this one is downright dangerous.
The guy could have slipped a different way and hit his head on the side of the shower or the wall. And that would have resulted in a serious head injury or even death. Ha ha ha, how funny, I killed my boyfriend by spreading butter on the bathroom floor. I think that’s the very definition of manslaughter.
