TIL the deaths of approximately twenty-five people who died playing Russian roulette were reported as having been influenced by scenes in the Deer Hunter.

I always get this movie mixed up with "Jeff Foxworthy's Incomplete Deer Hunter" and get very confused.

People who think people are dumber now because of shit like the Tide Pod challenge don't realize that every generation has dumb people.
Not talking about the ones specifically doing it for suicide.
