A Louisiana man who thought Tessica’s Brown viral Gorilla Glue gaffe “wasn’t that serious” quickly learned the severity of the situation himself after landing himself in the ER for a clout chasing conundrum.

Len Martin of Baton Rouge told WBKN that he took part in the “Gorilla Glue Challenge” to prove that the Louisiana daycare owner was exaggerating about the epoxy sealing her scalp. Len took a red solo cup and glued it to his top lip thinking he could moisten it and remove it with ease.

That clearly did NOT happen because Len was seen in a video struggling to remove it ahead of a trip to the ER for a “painful peeling.” Doctors also told him that if his mouth “doesn’t heal correctly,” the tip of his lip will have to be taken off via surgery.

“Everyone is on social media, every day there is a new challenge, but I did not think it would go this far,” said Len of his sticky silliness while cautioning people against it.

WBKN received a statement from Gorilla Glue on Len Martin’s misuse of their product and warned people against the following suit.

“Our spray adhesive states in the warning label, ‘Do not swallow, do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing…’ It is used for craft, home, auto or office projects to mount things to surfaces such as paper, cardboard, wood, laminate and fabric.”

This isn’t the first time Glen Martin has tried to seek viral fame for participating in challenges. WBKN says in 2020 he appeared on Dr. Oz and discussed his experience engaging in that virl ice cream licking challenge.

He also previously released a music video for his track “Corona Bounce.”

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
