8. Yeah. It's kids punching each other in the yambag.
Some kid near the twin cities just lost a ball because of it.

Student suffers amputation after embarrassing school assault

CROSBY, Minn. -- Pain is the operative word in the unfortunate story of 14-year-old David Gibbons. It is a pain he has endured both physically and emotionally after being punched in the groin by another student as he changed classes at Crosby Ironton High School.

"One o'clock in the morning he woke me up and told me he was in excruciating pain," recalls Christy Gibbons, David's mom. Not long after, David was in surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital in Brainerd having his right testicle removed.

"This may be called a game, but it's not a game. It's dangerous and it needs to stop," said Christy.

It's a notion seconded by Dr. Scott Wheeler, a Brainerd urologist.

"It's just gotten way out of control," said Wheeler, who now performs "three to four surgeries a year" on boys with ruptured testicles and other complications of being groin punched - with dozens more coming in with less severe injuries. "It's high school, junior high, elementary school," said Wheeler.

Dubbed "sack tapping" by some students, the practice is now featured in dozens of homemade videos on YouTube.



Truly we're on our way to Idiocracy.

20. One ruptured nut, probably.

On the other hand, maybe the hand of Darwin is at work. I wouldn't mind the gene pool being rid of kids who think it's fun to punch each other in the nuts.

Go Darwin!

25. You're not serious...are you?
There's not a dude on this planet who hasn't taken a few shots to the scrote during the course of their lives. Most are accidental.

28. Accidents are one thing. Deliberate whacking of guys in the nuts
is something else. The words are assault and battery.

I'll tell you what. I'll stand here while you hit me in the testicles. But, you have to stand there while I react to that. I guarantee you will hurt more than I do.

It is not funny. No assault is funny.

35. If you can't figure out the difference between
a huge punch to the nuts and someone giving you a tap in the sack, then I don't know what to tell you.

Take shit a little less seriously and you wont have to be breaking noses all the time, tough guy.

An older kid did that to me when I was a freshman in high school. I didn't know him, so I broke his nose.

18. This was standard stuff when I was a kid. We called it "Bangkok."
Walk up to an unsuspecting friend and ask them "Hey, what's the capital of Thailand?" Before they can answer shout "Bangkok" and dickpunch them.

Then run for your life! :rofl:

24. Yah. So, I guess it's OK then when those teenaged boys make
a game out of randomly grabbing girl's breasts or crotches, then? That game goes on, too, just like this one.

What do you think?

26. So sack tapping is a gateway to sexual assault?
I think you'll need to provide some evidence that one leads to to other.

27. Do I have to use really simple words for you?
Both are assaults. Assaults are not a good thing. Assaulting someone is a bad thing. It is not a funny thing. People should not do that.

If a guy hits me in the gonads, he will be sorry he did that.

How's that? Did you understand all the words? If not, I can dumb it down some more for you.

29. No, your attempted insult aside, I perfectly understood your question
Do I have to use a really simple explanation for you (see, I can play that game too)?

One is an assualt. The other is generally a dumb teenage boy thing. If you want to go go charging teens with assault for doing the dumb shit teens have been doing for laws knows how long, then you can fund the additional juvenille housing needed.

Most of the time this game (that is usually played in middle and high school) is done by willing participants. Notice in the video how lots of the kids, even the ones been "assaulted" are smiling and laughing about it?

Now, if you're done sermonizing and attempting to play the dumb-it-down card (and done telling us what an internet tough guy you are), dad, maybe you'll get on to showing me the mountains of evidence you have that this childhood game is linked to males groping or punching women in the same vain. Or did you just want to go with the insults tactic, since that's a lot easier?

33. I see. It's all done in fun, then. That's not always the case, though.
A guy whacked me like that. I didn't know him. He paid dearly for it. If I told you it was the same idiot boys who were playing this sack-tapping game who were also crotch and boob grabbing, you probably wouldn't believe me. It's true, though. Ask a 14 year old girl about that. She'll tell you. Creeps are creeps.

I don't give a crap what friends do to each other. As far as I'm concerned they can take their clothes off and feel around down there all they want.

The minute they extend it beyond their moron buddies, though, and the scene changes.

I'm not an internet tough guy. I simply told you that I react negatively to being hit in the balls. Such a thing has not happened to me since I was a freshman in high school, as I described. That was a very long time ago.

37. No, it's not always the case but if you watched the video
and cant figure out that you're seeing the same people, all popping each other in the sack, then you're not paying attention and that's not my fault.

This shit got popular in my middle school for awhile and yeah, I was both a player and a victim. More importantly, if kids made it clear they didn't want anything to do with it, they generally weren't bothered. Sure it was stupid, but most of the people I know did stupid shit at that age. If you provided me with some evidence that these same kids that are sack tapping are also grabbing females against their will then I'd believe you, but you haven't, so I don't. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I'd be willing to bet it doesn't happen a lot and most people, even teens, understand the social implications in what the difference is.

Obviously I'd react negativly to being hit in the balls by a stranger but, if you watch the movie and pay a little fucking attetnion to the context, you'll see that most of these kids are talking to each other, or other groups of kids, and are, for the most part, laughing it off after it happens.

It hasn't happened to me in a long time either because, you know, we're all grown ups now, and don't do the same childish shit we did in middle/high school. Fucking Duh.

They're the reason children's hospitals still have a slug bug ward.

39. Back in the early 60s it was, "Do you want to be a landowner?"
"Here's 2 acres." Ache-ers, get it. All kids are perverts to some extent.

41. Guess I'm old, when I was in school the upper classmen picked on the,,
younger ones, not by tapping them, but by REALLY SMACKING THEM.

Only one in the film that REALLY got hit was the kid by the lockers

What next, girls giving each other T-Twisters?
