Very Dumb YouTuber Nearly Died In Very Dumb Head-In-Cement Microwave Stunt
Source: YouTube An unabashedly bro-y YouTuber who makes money by posting videos of his dumb bro-y antics nearly killed himself in his latest dumb video. Jay Swingler teams up with his friend Romell Henry to post videos under the name TGFbro. While TGFBro is known for videos of the two Santa Letters men, both in their early twenties, playing with explosives and sitting in tubs filled with everything from chili sauce to fake tanner, the duo recently developed a penchant for construction binding material. In the last few weeks TGFbro have produced videos of the two men putting their bodies in tubs filled with concrete and expanding foam. Advertisement But for their latest video, Swingler took the experimentation to a whole new level of idiocy when he put his head in a microwave and filled the appliance with Polyfilla, a spackling paste that's supposed to fill holes in walls. To be "safe" (nothing about this is safe) Swingler included a flimsy breathing tube. But that tube became blocked as the material hardened and expanded, and Swingler began to panic, which no doubt made him require more oxygen. His friends attempted to dismantle the microwave and chip away around his head using a knife (!?), but thankfully called emergency services before Swingler suffocated to death. Firefighters and EMS came within minutes spent about an hour chiseling and cutting the heap of plaster and metal in order to free Swingler's head. Advertisement "I've never appreciated life so much, ever," Swingler said in the video about the incident. "Thank you very, very much to the paramedics and the fire brigade for helping me get out." Despite the thanks, West Midlands Fire vented their frustration on Twitter. West Midlands Fire officer Shaun Dakin told BBC, "All of the group involved were very apologetic, but this was clearly a call-out which might have prevented us from Santa letter helping someone else in genuine, accidental need." This morning it appeared the video still included advertisements. But around 11 AM EST, the video was no longer showing ads. A YouTube spokesperson said the video was demonetized because of their policy that states, "content that promotes harmful or dangerous acts that result in serious physical, emotional, or psychological injury is not suitable for advertising." Swingler did not reply to a Gizmodo request for comment about how much he expected to make from the video, which seemed to have already racked up almost a million views before the video was demonetized. That's probably enough to make several hundred dollars. Earlier today, West Midlands Fire station commander Simon Woodward released a follow-up statement saying that the service charge for their help should be 650 pounds (about $872 USD), but they aren't charging because someone's life was in danger. "What I'd like to do is remind each other not to put their lives at risk for the sake of other people's entertainment." [BBC]

Many employees may have to cut down on expenses for office holiday gift giving this yearHowever, there are still ways to give gifts, without spending too much Vibrant Lilly Pulitzer mouse pads with attached notepads are a great ideaIf a co-worker travels a lot, give a Members Hotel Network membership (CareerBuilder.com) -- Holidays in the office can be predictable: coffee mugs for your boss, a gift card for your co-worker, fruit baskets for clients. This holiday season, however, may prove to be a little different, as there is less money to spend and fewer co-workers on gift lists. "In today's economy, you have to be a lot more economical with your gift giving. However, just because people do not have as much money to spend does not mean that they should put the kibosh on the holiday spirit at work," said Lisa Friedman, co-founder of SomeoneSpoilMe.com, an online gift-giving guide. "Not only do you have to cut back on the number of people you buy gifts for, but you also need to change the type of gifts you buy." Friedman Santa letter stresses that gift giving in the office doesn't have to be an expensive ordeal. She suggests that co-workers participate in a white elephant gift exchange, where you can only buy functional gifts that are $25 or less.

You've Been Sentenced Rather than buy all of your co-workers individual gifts, pony up for this fun game that will entertain the whole office.

Knife and Fork Lift Offices are infamous for catered lunches, vending machines and happy hours galore.

On Monday, one Redditor asked the women of Reddit to reveal the most romantic gift Letter from Santa they had ever received from their significant others. Turns out, many of the most swoon-worthy presents came from S.O.s who were really paying attention. 1. "For Christmas, my son gave his girlfriend a reserved parking space in the city. She works crazy hours as a med student on rotations and would come home exhausted late at night and then have to drive around for 30 minutes to find parking. Now she is grateful to him every day when she parks her car and has a safe, short walk to her apartment." 2. "My boyfriend and I are both sci-fi nerds. He has dyslexia, and does not read well. I have over 300 books and love to read. So he gets me sci-fi books and we snuggle as I read them to him. It's super nerdy but it fits us. The best gifts are tailored to activities both of you enjoy." 3. "I was going on a girls trip to Thailand and was really busy beforehand. He bought me a vacation care package full of sunscreen, aloe vera, SPF lip gloss, a book to read on the beach, travel-size toiletries, travel converter, gum, flip flops, bug spray, and some small first-aid things. All small and cheap things but he put the effort to think about things I would need and I thought it was Santa letter very sweet and thoughtful of him." 4. "A crate of one of my favorite beers, which I'd told him had been discontinued. He was Letter from Santa very proud of himself for finding it, and I had to explain that it had only been discontinued on tap. But I was still very happy with 24 bottles of it!" 5. "Last year my now-husband and I were visiting his sister in Vermont and walking through a wood shop where a man was selling his hand-carved items. There was an absolutely gorgeous wooden jewelry box -- all ornate compartments and scrolls, just beautiful. It was well worth the price but out of our budget. We went back home to Massachusetts and on our anniversary, my husband gave me the jewelry box. I was so surprised! He had seen my expression when I looked at it, even though I never said a word. He arranged to pay for it and his sister picked it up for him, and he drove back to Vermont to get it without my knowing." 6. "I used to battle with depression a lot. One Christmas I got a jar filled with little notes from my current boyfriend. All notes said things like 'You're beautiful', 'I'm so glad I met you', 'You're my everything' and things like that. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever gotten." 7. "I'm deaf and my boyfriend secretly started learning sign language for me." 8. "I used to be obsessed with the TV show 'Dexter.' My then-S.O. made me a blood slide box like the one Dexter kept for all his victims. He put a bunch of slides in with room for more if I wanted to add some later, and on the slides were pictures of our shenanigans. It was incredibly sweet, and I was SO impressed when he gave it to me." 9. "He made me a keychain with the exact coordinates of where he proposed to me. It is stamped metal, and even though it's a bit rough and slightly unfinished looking, it is one of my most charming, treasured possessions." 10. "My grandmother was born on a Friday the 13th, so my grandfather would buy her 13 yellow roses every Friday the 13th. They were married 53 years. After he died, my dad continued the tradition for her." 11. "As a little girl, she had always wanted one of those Radio Flyer little red wagons. She entered a contest for one once and another little girl won it and she was jealous of her at the time. One of my first gifts to her while we were dating was a silver necklace with one of those wagons as a little pendant, which I painted red. She loved it. It was wrapped around her bouquet on our wedding day." 12. "One year we couldn't spend my birthday together, so he sent me a care package. Inside was an instruction booklet titled 'Romantic Birthday Dinner' and beneath it were all the ingredients (bread, jelly, peanut butter) so I could cook it myself. The best part for me was the 'instruction manual' -- it was overly detailed and technical (he used the world 'emulsification' like twice) with step-by-step picture guides. I was laughing so hard I was in tears." 13. "My boyfriend kept all of our tickets and maps and receipts from our Euro trip and made me a scrapbook with our pictures and all of the things we had collected along the way. I cried. Twice." 14. "I'm from the St. Louis area and we don't have Rainforest Cafe there. I always dreamed of going as a kid, but my parents were always like, "We're not paying to eat overpriced chicken nuggets in the dark with animatronic animals." Fast-forward to when I'm an adult and dating this guy for 2+ years. We're in Chicago for my birthday and he surprises me by taking me to Rainforest Cafe. When we sit down, he pulls out two safari hats and a stuffed elephant shrew (one of my favorite animals). The whole thing was such a sweet, goofy gesture, especially coming from him. I teared up." *Responses have been edited and condensed. Keep in touch! Check out HuffPost Weddings on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
