Well, this took a drastic turn.
Ever since Drake came out with his new single “In My Feelings”, people all over the world have been taking on the viral #InMyFeelings dance challenge, also known as the “Kiki challenge” or #KeKeChallenge.
Sounds fun, right?
Not anymore – something went wrong along the way, and now people are getting themselves hurt because of this challenge.
How? Take a gander at this clip:

If you didn’t gasp out loud while watching this, then you have no soul. Or you’re just past the point of being done with sheer dumbassery.
Either way, this is getting out of control, no thanks to this unnecessary tweak that now sees people jumping out of a moving car and dancing alongside it while it moves:
The Guardian has the scoop:
Some videos of the dances uploaded to the internet show oblivious dancers crashing into poles, tripping on potholes or falling out of the cars.
Police from around the world, including in India, Spain, the US, Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, have warned people that the dance challenge is dangerous and people caught trying it could face criminal charges.
Not that it’s stopping the masses from putting their lives on the line for internet fame and glory.
Cue the clips:
