Way OT! Well done AAFD.
That's a fetish? I love the internet, but wouldn't the world be a safer place with the simpler fetishes of yore? Boobs, butts, penises...
You should watch the film Crash from 1996 (or read the book)…it’s about people who get off to being in car accidents. I’m thankful that’s not my thing.
Crash is much more than people wanting to get in car crashes...
Then give me a plot synopsis of Crash without discussing people getting off to being in car accidents, movie buff.
We’re likely are talking about two different movies with the same title, Internet tough guy;
Over a thirty-six hour period in Los Angeles, a handful of disparate people's lives intertwine as they deal with the tense race relations that belie life in the city. Among the players are: the Caucasian district attorney, who uses race as a political card; his Caucasian wife, who, having recently been carjacked…
That’s the 2004 film. As I stated in my original post, I’m talking about the 1996 film.
Geez, Grendel.
Might I suggest the song Warm Leatherette by The Normal.

Have you ever heard of bug chasing? There’s a fetish for everything!
Maybe not so OT…
Jo, who lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, made an appeal on TikTok for advice after getting trapped between a black folding chair.
“I just said it was for a school project, because I happen to live on a college campus. So they believed it. I definitely didn't feel like explaining ... the stuck fetish to them I was already in panic mode.”
Yet, she's on TikTok live asking for help. I'm pretty sure they probably knew. Man things have changed so much in just the last 10 yrs.
Man the internet has really normalized the weirdest things.
This ain’t normal
Normal isn’t a value, it’s a mean of sorts that moves with cultural change.
That does not mean that some normals may have more utility than others.
Culture hasn’t changed enough to make this normal
Amazed that bolt cutters couldn't get through the chair.
That's certainly not some made in China POS product.
Bolt cutters can make it through hardened steel, even ones that are made in China.
That's the same folding chair that breaks when aunt Mary sits on it at the graduation party after a couple glasses of wine.
Sounds like Aunt Mary also has a fondness for her desserts a bit too much.
It's a folding chair - it's not made out of adamantium. My guess is the fire-fighters couldn't get a good angle on it because this woman is jammed in their pretty tight and so they had to use the Jaws of Life. I'm fairly certain if you put that chair on the ground those bolt cutters would go through it.
She should invest in a hacksaw and have the phone number of someone who knows how to use it in her phone.
Don't go giving her any more video ideas.
I love watching dumb people doing dumb things. Thanks Sydney Jo, well done!
This is really fucking stupid
The banner at the top of the article touting Buzzfeed's first ever Pulitzer Prize for journalism is what made it for me.
While I have not seen folding chairs there, Home Depot definitely has most of what you need for these videos.

I have read the article (2 minutes of my life I want back). I still don't know how she got stuck. And maybe I'm going straight to hell, but I couldn't get the old "BlondStar" bit out of my head when I read this.

“...and they really appreciate how dedicated I am to my work so that was really cool too.”
”work” LOL
“Hello, emergency? I seem to have stuck myself to……myself”.
I must have the opposite of a stuck fetish. It's a near-phobia for me. Putting on and removing an un-broken in pair of leather dress shoes raises my heartbeat a bit. I start imagining how hard it would be to get them off, and what if I can't? In a weird way, I understand the fetish since I experience it from the opposite side.
But yeah, it's weird, people are weird, and the way brains work are odd.
yeah those caving videos are stuff of nightmares
Wow, didn't know my IQ could drop so fast.
I mean...it's nice that the AAFD helped her but she was charging people $1.99/minute to watch her get stuck into things and then escape because those viewers found it, if not sexually, at least performatively interesting and titillating. I won't kink-shame anyone but getting her out of this predicament cost tax payers money and spent resources/time that could have led to someone else in a worse situation receiving aid slower, and then instead of being honest about it she lied and claimed she was a student and it was part of a class. Of course, once it blew up on Tik-Tok and (likely) led to an increase in subscribers for her services then she goes on BuzzFeed and tells everyone the real reason.
I'm glad she's okay but I hope the AAFD sends her a bill for these services they rendered.
What is the point of taxpayers funding fire departments if they have to pay for using their services?
Sure, but she didn't call because of some accident or fire emergency. She's trying to make money doing something dangerous and got caught and needed their assistance. I'd say that's more analogous to nuisance usage, and many city fire departments have laws in place (and fines) that hold you responsible for basically wasting people's time. This felt like someone putting herself in a situation that is dangerous and then expecting the city to bail her out, and from a public policy perspective I don't think being the safety mechanism for someone's OnlyFans page is a good use of public resources. YMMV.
I don’t see why the background of the situation is important. Emergency services are there to provide emergency services. Doesn’t matter how or for what purpose those emergencies occurred.
