My Facebook feed is peppered by munters being munters.
It's perhaps a timely reminder of the need to trim my list of Facebook "friends". Everywhere, from Australia to the UK and Asia, people are participating in 'neknominate', the social media fad where people post a video of themselves chugging an
alcoholic drink, then call out a few friends to do the same.
There are satirical efforts, with participants who feign manly-man personas, speaking in comically deep voices ("Good on ya, Trev") only to then suck on their beer bottles like baby calves on a teat.
Generally though, 'neknominate' is not a game that appeals to society's cerebral giants.
It's obviously potentially dangerous, though I'd venture if you were dumb enough to drink a whole bottle of spirits in one gulp (as some participants have) the resulting damage is a perfect illustration of Darwinism in the modern age.
