In the age of social media, virality has become the ultimate goal for many, pushing people to take risks with daring stunts to grab attention. However, the pursuit of online fame can sometimes lead to serious consequences. Recently, a man from the Philippines highlighted the dangers of such pranks after a seemingly harmless stunt went horribly wrong.
The incident, shared on Instagram by @badis_tv, begins with a man in a shop holding a tube of superglue, grinning as he applies it to his lips, expecting a funny outcome. But things quickly take a dangerous turn when his lips stick together, and his initial amusement turns into panic. As his lips remain firmly sealed, the man’s distress becomes evident, with tears streaming down his face as he struggles to open his mouth.
The video has been viewed over 47 lakh times, sparking a wide range of reactions. While the authenticity of the incident remains uncertain—whether it was a genuine accident or a staged stunt for entertainment purposes—the response from viewers has been mixed. Some expressed genuine concern, warning about the risks of such dangerous pranks. One comment read, “This is exactly why we shouldn’t play with glue!” while another cautioned, “I hope he learned his lesson, because this could’ve been much worse.”
Others took a lighter approach, joking about the situation, with one user quipping, “Well, at least he’s got a unique way of keeping his lips sealed!”
The viral incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of seeking attention through risky stunts.
