What are we thinking about Russian roulette you guys?
I was avoiding my psychology study today and checking out Rhianna's new S&M themed video clip "Te Amo" when I stumbled upon another of her clips entitled "Russian Roulette", and being such an advocate of things that are Russian, I took it upon myself to do further research.
Wiki tells me that the main demographic for Russian Roulette type horseplay is a male, depressed/intoxicated, white one with a peak age of aroung 25. Surprisingly one of the most famous Russian Roulette players was Malcom X - take from that what you will; although rumour was he palmed the revolver to convince his peers that he didn't fear death, when really he was a lying pussy.
For those not in the "know", Russian Roulette involves loading one bullet into a 6 round revolver, spinning the cylinder and taking turns in taking the muzzle to one's temple and pulling the trigger. Inevitably someone will die - when played with 2 people the chances of death increase by a 6th each time, as the cylinder is not respun. Same goes for with 6 people, although the 6th person in line if often favourited, despite the fact that there is an equal chance of death for everyone playing.
Im not quite sure what to make of it - it seems batshit crazy if you don't have a death wish, and if you do infact have a death wish, then you're just wasting time. It has appeared alot in pop culture unsurprisingly, but how much does it actually occur in real life I wonder?
"I love Cluedo! It's just the best game!"
"Yeah, I'm actually more of a Russian Roulette kind of guy myself, but Cluedo is cool too I guess."
Is it a rare amusement, like a cuban cigar or a lapdance? Or are we talking a regular thing like recreational drug taking or golf? I need answers.
