Joining the ranks of odd trends like extreme ironing and
planking is Gibleting — a testicle-themed gag that involves liberating one’
s testicles in a
normal social setting. Gibleting is the world'
s newest adrenalin sport, combining the thrill of social activity with the satisfaction of getting one’
s scrotal
unit (i.e. giblets) out in the open air.
Part of the attraction and interest towards gibleting seems to centre on the issue of whether it is really a sport or not. It is widely considered to be tongue-in-cheek.
From its modest beginnings as a festive distraction during a staff Christmas party, Gibleting has has become a one-of-a-kind mix of performance
art and danger sport.
Whether conducted solo or in a group, some locations where such performances have taken place include a club in central London, a park, on the street and in the London Welsh RFC
bar.
