Anal Inflation Prank Lands Victims in Hospital

So, yeah, this happened.

As if this prank could ever go anywhere but in a horrible direction, not one, but two people have been hospitalized over the last two weeks in Can Tho after pranksters inserted a mechanical pump into their anus and ‘inflated’ them, reports Thanh Nien.

Nguyen Truong V., 34, was hospitalized with intestinal tearing last week, and, two weeks ago, Pham Van Q., 27, was admitted with an “inflated belly.” Nguyen Truong V.’s intestines were repaired, and he is now in stable condition. Pham Van Q.’s abdomen had to be cut open to release the pressure and was given a temporary colostomy. Two weeks later, he returned to have the colostomy removed and was released after.

No reports of investigations or detention of individuals have surfaced as of Monday, December 15.

On a side note, inflating your friends isn’t a prank, you’re just an asshole.
