UPDATE ON JENKEM
Other day, when I discovered jenkem via perezhilton.com, I immediately wrote a text blurb for my aim, akin to having a news ticker. Everyone does that, my buddylist is cluttered with other people’s commentaries. Not to be outdone by other friends, I usually post something interesting or funny, to get people send me instant messages, just to glorify my ego. So, with jenkem, it was golden.
I posted, “jenkem!!! the drug of future!!” hoping to gain plenty of reaction. Sure enough, some friends asked me what the heck it was and I’d tell them to google it. Tired of getting asked repeatedly, I later changed my news ticker to “Jenkem!!! Google it!” Immediately, in one afternoon, I got plenty of messages from people I haven’t talked to for a while and those I talk to everyday. They had the same reaction, saying two same things.
1. Commentaries on how disgusting the drug is. “Gross!” “Africans, what do you expect.” “It is a hoax because it is impossible people would inhale their own defecations.”
2. Comments that insulted me personally. “Did you try it?” “Let me know how it goes.” “Would you do it?” “My friend told me you are going to try it!” “The taste didn’t leave for few days right?”
What the fuck? I did enough in my past that I don’t blame people thinking I’d try something new. But I drew the line right there. I do not experiment or get high off my bodily wastes. I joked with some friends, I admit it, but they took me seriously.
Interesting. Why don’t YOU try it and post the results?
