Not quite sure what has taken hold of our neighbors in the Boston area…cabin queer,  snow blind? But this we do know, it’s all accompanied by a side of YouTube of course.  It seems that since receiving that whopping 96 inches of snow dumped in their streets folks have taken to jumping out their windows…on purpose…while videotaping of course. Their little adventure called the "Boston Blizzard Challenge."

So much of this has gone on of late that the Boston Governor Mayor Marty Walsh made a video of his own asking residents not to have too much fun with the "Boston Blizzard Challenge." The somewhat snarky Mayor  publicly scolded those filmed participating in the jumps, saying: 'This isn’t Loon Mountain. This is the city of Boston.”  He then added: “The last thing we want to do is have to report to an emergency call where somebody jumped out the window because they thought it was funny.”

Bad news for the Mayor of course is that as long as they’re getting views they’ll keep jumping and as we all know there is no cure for stupid.
