We start off with Blarney Stone, Ireland. There are many legends saying it has thousand of years but the most believable links the stone to a noble that pisses off Queen Elizabeth I of England herself. They say he talked his way out of it so bending your back and kissing the wall gives you a bonus to speech. The way it was supposed to do made it dangerous then but now it's safe and all you can get is herpes because more than 400,000 people kiss it every year.

The next one is Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, Hollywood. Many people put their hands into the imprints stars left and leave with germs from every other tourist that had the same idea not to mention people and that walked over it. That wouldn't be so terrible if tourist would wash their hands before resuming eating.

Oscar Wilde’s Tomb, Paris was a place that tourists just have to kiss leaving traces of red lipstick. When that made the tomb crumble the family of Wilde prohibited to kiss the grave... which made them "evil". The family of the poet had to explain themselves in New York Times, they did not change their minds and people not kiss Plexiglas.

Seattle Gum Wall dates back to 1993 when patrons of the Market Theater began sticking gum on the wall as they waited in line along Post Alley at the Pike Place Market. City officials made several attempts to get rid of the gum but eventually gave up and made it an official tourist attraction in 1999. It’s estimated that the 15-foot-high, 50-foot-wide wall now holds millions of pieces of gum. For people having nausea just from the sight of the wall there was a good thing in November 2015 when the wall was cleaned for restoration purposes. Unfortunately for them the wall is being filled with new pieces of gum as we speak.

Harvard's Left Shoe. John Harvard gave money to the University of Harvard in 1641, five years after it came to life as a College. Rubbing the left shoe of the statue he was granted in gratitude on Campus was supposed to give students good luck and good grades, but now tourists also rub the shoe as you can see it turned kinda yellow. We inform you should not even touch the shoe because the yellow color is partly caused by bad students that are so pissed off they take it out on John Harvard himself by... pissing on his left shoe. Ewww.

The last one is truly WTF. Victor Noir was a French journalist who is famous for the manner of his death and its political consequences. In December 1869 Prince Pierre Bonaparte was offended by a newspaper and demanded a duel with a noble from the newspaper, but another not-noble man send his seconds to Bonaparte because he wrote the article and he offended and felt offended. Prince felt so insulted he killed one of the seconds- Victor Noir. Now it gets seriously weird, Victor Noir's Tomb is said to give good luck if you rub his crotch. It gets worse as young women rub, kiss and sit on his crotch for "luck in love life within a year", notice his lips are also rubbed out? Yup, that's right. EWWW.
