A&E Intervention - Allison the Computer Dust Remover Fiend

Thanks to Sebastian Demian for introducing me to Allison the Computer Dust Remover Fiend and the single most incredible episode of Intervention EVER.

This is really sad, frightening and genuinely disturbing. But honestly there's something amazing and compelling about a human being sticking a computer product in their mouth 100 times a day and sucking on it. She cradles the fucking cans of dust-off like a baby blanket.



When I was in 9th grade my friend inhaled some computer dust off at a football game and passed out in the stands and an ambulance came and took him out of there, they stopped the game and everything it was quite a scene. He was also the kid who had the first porno in the neighborhood - Ramboner. No joke. I wonder what he's up to these days?

Kids - don't do this dust-off shit it's stupid and ugly and pointless. We Has Spoken does not support this drug in any way.

Might I add that there's never been a single episode of Intervention (to my knowledge) where the primary addiction is Marijuana? All I'm sayin' is - Free Up the Weed.

Note - the other 4 parts of Allison's episode can be found on YouTube.

I have a can of that stuff in my office right now. It contains freon and if your skin comes in contact with the liquid inside of the can, you can get frostbite immediately.

There's even a warning that says if the can is inverted before or during use, the contents can leak out in liquid form while being used. That would suck to get frostbite in your lungs.

Adam, I refuse to believe that there is a prono out there named "Ramoner" until I have visual proof of such masterpiece.

Intervention is great btw, that episode was one of the more f'ed up ones.

Amazing...you probably already know this, but you get frostbite, not from the contents in the can, but from the increased pressure as the aerosol exits the nozzle. It looks like the nozzle on her bottle has a larger diameter, so it probably doesn't get too cold. But frostbite in the lungs would be unthinkable.

This show is really wild, and you were right...this one was off the charts. I almost felt like I was watching an episode of SNL making fun of intervention.

One more thing...and this is the kind of person who should just go ahead and kill herself. She is already doing it slowly, and totally endangering everyone around her. It's one thing to be severely depressed, but its another to say that she doesn't care if she kills someone while driving.

Steve if you watch till the end she gets clean and dies her hair blonde.

What I find interesting is that 33% of people who die from inhalent use die on the first try. I guess if you make it past the first one, you're in the clear.

I had another friend in high school who was really in to Whip-its. He worked at Baskin Robins. One day the manager came in late and noticed that every single can of whipped cream was flat. My friend was fired on the spot. He had done EVERY CAN in one afternoon while the manager was gone.

Remind me next week to write a post about "Ocean" (drinking hair spray) and "Robo-trippin'" (drinking excessive amounts of Robotussin)

Michael Konrad said...

oh god. i've heard of robo-tripping, but drinking hairspray? that's just disgusting. wouldn't you get violently sick?

Ron Mexico said...

I saw the end. I can't help but think she will relapse. They did not mention anything about a codependency problem that must be addressed before she could ever become sober. How much of what she did was for attention? Knowing that she is putting her family through anguish and the subsequent attention she receives is a major part of her problem. I hope that she can break the habit, but she has so many deep seeded issues I am cynical.

Awful mann. you can choose a bit more decent way of dying early.
I must add that prevention is always better than cure, its easy to fall in the digg , but much more painful to get out of it.
