It seems like everyday, someone will post a rustic cabin in the woods photo or maybe one on a tropical paradise and it will "challenge" all their friends by asking if they could stay there for one year without the Internet, television, cable, or their smartphones. Here is an actual screen grab to back up my statement.
You have to stay in this cabin for the entire month of January. You have
all the food and water you'll need. You have enough firewood to keep a
fire going until the 31st. You have no access to Internet , cell phones
or TV. On the 31st of January, you walk out of the door with $100,000.
Would you do it?
Can you believe that 1,947, 882 idiots all "liked" this nonsense? On top of that, 244, 655 morons shared it.

I have a challenge that makes a wee bit more sense.
You have to stay in this hole for the entire month of January. You have all the food and water you'll need. You will be naked. You have total access to Internet , cell phones and tv. On the 31st of January, you will be water-boarded by trained CIA agents. You will then be given $100,000 in unmarked $20 bills. Will you accept a real challenge??
So far, not a single like or share?

Thanks for your article. I was one of the millions of idiots who viewed and commented on three of these posts on FB. After seeing the second one, I grew very suspicious, noting that there was no actual challenge offer on the table. Seeing the third one compelled me to do some research, which led me to your blog post, among other results. Any idea if this is some kind of information-gathering or other scam? I never shared, and on the third one I saw, I only commented on my suspicions and my search results. I've been an idiot at least twice, but no more. I do like your challenge. I wouldn't do it, but it gets the point across.
I could do it.
