 There's this new site called Bragster.com where you can:
a) dare people (or "pose" a challenge)
b) take someone up on a dare (or "answer" a challenge)
You prove that you've taken the dare by uploading video of yourself pulling off the crazy and/or idiotic stunt. It's like Jackass for the masses, which would be Jackmasses. They should have called the site Jackmasses.com.
 I'm not making fun of it, because it's awesome. And I'm not just saying that because they're sponsoring our latest contest, in which we'll be awarding prizes worth $300.00 cash money. There are two ways to win our funniest contest yet, the I Dare You Contest:
Round 1: Post your funniest dare, starting with the words "I Dare You," to our open comedy challenge. For instance: "I dare you to walk into a men's room clad only in panties and a bra while singing showtunes." Don't be afraid to add little touches to make it funny. This round ends at 11:59 pm on Sunday, June 15, 2008.
The five funniest dares (as chosen by ZUG editors) will then advance to Round 2.
 Round 2: Pull off one of the top five dares and post it to Bragster.com. The first person to execute one of the dares, and post video proof to Bragster.com, wins $200.00 cash -- and the person who posted that idea will win $100.00 cash! In a sense, the second winner will choose the first. The more funny ideas you suggest in Round 1, the more chances you have to win. Make them realistic, and you'll have even better chances of winning.
Check out some of these dares on Bragster to get a sense of the mojo:
"I dare you to buy a whole fish from the supermarket ... dressed in full scuba gear!"
"I dare you to cut your hair to crewcut, then fashion yourself a makeshift beard. Then proceed to ask people in the street how they rate your new facial hair 1-5 on the beardy weirdy scale."
"I dare you to start doing the Worm while having a conversation with a complete stranger. You have to go up to someone at random, ask for directions, then suddenly start doing the Worm. You can style it out if you want, but it has to be hilarious. Make it happen dude."
This stuff is funny, I have to admit. But we can do funnier. Show them what we've got, ZUG readers.
Click here to visit Bragster, then post your funniest dare here!
Some of you might think you're going to suggest something, then be the first to do it as well, taking all $300.00. Come on, just try to win it all. I dare you.

Okaye, okay, here it goes:
I dare John to post an entirely unfunny article about a 'prank', and when people ask you if you're serious? You say, "Yes, I am serious."
Wouldn't that be GREAT?
Maybe it could be an article about all the people you killed from the previous dare.
:-/

I know you're new, so I'll be nice about this. John already did what you're suggesting. He called it the Superbowl prank or something. Try Zug search.
Kisses,
W.P.
