The Kookslams Instagram account is not about great photography -- or really -- photography at all. Instead it's about watching videos of people making bad decisions that often end up with terrible results and sometimes even worse. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that watching these often beach-related accidents unfold one after the other makes me feel guilty on a lot of levels, but at the same time I feel the need to watch "just one more."So be prepared for what I'm about to unleash on all of you, and those with high degrees of empathy may want to steer clear. For the rest of you, I think you'll quickly see why I'm sharing this strange Instagram account. Pay close attention to the captions, but watch out for typically cruel internet commenters.
