See, at first I thought this was a tazer marketed towards children to use in self-defense, which seemed like a fairly irresponsible thing to do considering they've been known to give the elderly and weak of heart permanent damage - or kill them.

But using a tazer on rowdy children? There's a market for that, I'm sure.

So, what exactly are kids up to these days? If this future Nobel Laureate's video is any indication, it's attempting to smoke candy using mom's fireplace lighter (she's looking for that, man, put it back!).
