Wasn't the the opening scene from The Boys?
I haven’t seen that one.  But what I saw was the real deal.  It was something my dad had to investigate.  I was young.  Idk why, but he he had me with him in the office one day.  It was cctv.  Perhaps I was too little and they were watching a movie.  But considering it was stopped, rewound and played multiple times and this kid turned into a pink mist, I’d say a movie wasn’t what I saw

Yeah, just googled the movie.  That came out in 2014.  This happened in the 90’s

I sat on a jury in a civil trial involving a car/train accident once.  It was a crossing without barricade arms and the driver was almost all the way across when he was hit. He survived, but suffered substantial injuries and was looking to cash in on the train company.

I thought you were serious, lol.  Made me wonder the more I thought about it. I was young-ish.  It’s Plausible that I remembered things wrong.  Had to find out out these burning questions for myself.    And here I thought you were one of the good guys. I’ll be keeping my eye on you.  Smile

"It don't move." 

Even Gorilla Glue got in the act of suggesting removal procedures. Anyone want to bet they'll put a disclaimer on their label now?

Did the removal suggestion consist of waiting about a week, and investing in a set of clippers?

Oh yeah, step 3, buy a wig or embrace your inner Sinead O'Connor

That stuff would have probably broken the clippers.

Sometimes I wonder if people read labels then do stupid things on purpose for the payout later. “Hey! They never said I shouldn’t....”. Not saying this is the case here. I didn’t have audio on the video I saw. So I just assume she’s an idiot. Was reminded of this with HB’s post about the label.

Lucky it was only her hair that she was trying to hold in place.

You really can't make this up.

Now the stupid [BLEEP] wants to sue Gorilla because the product says not to use on eyes or skin, but doesn't mention hair.

No. Urban folks can be inbred as well. There are inbreds of all races and nationalities. LOL.

See my post above about the labels, post #31.  I seriously think people look and say “ I’ll do it for 25k”. 

The streaker at the SB.. apparently he bet big on a prop bet about there being a streaker during the game. 1000 bond, a misdemeanor  and 374k profit.  To that, idk, smart or dumb move?  Not the way I’d like to make money, but he does get the last laugh... not that I agree with either.
