Last known Titanic tickets sold at British Auction



Appreciate the gesture but making money off the dead is not my kind of thing. It's a memorabilia for crying out loud. Plus it may be one of those precious things your relatives leaves behind for larger-than-life stories for your next generation. Why sell off such things? Do people not value such personal items anymore? Jeez.

Charges dropped against Italian underwear-less man



It pays to be obese at times. Gives you ample reasons to go commandos. Why do people freak out when it is done by a man? Imagine the same thing with a female. Even if she hot or visually unappealing, people still look the upskirt. Admittedly, not everyone but perverts do. Usually it's the moral-friendly parents or females who freak out at such instances. It's normal to have your balls hanging out, you know.

Marvel Super Heroes Theme Park in Dubai



I guess that since Dubai is a pro-modern Islamic nation, it's alright to have such things there. Now imagine the same scenario in other Islamic nations. All over favourite male superheroes with turbans and our female superheroes in burqas and they will be labeled as Halal. No offence to the Muslim community. I am only here to poke some fun.

Whack! News Update: No Updates Here!

Oh my, it has been five days since my last post. I do apologize. Have been caught up with some things and trying to find more ways to bring in the bacon. So without any further delay, there is nothing else to read in this post. Look out for the next posts!

Whack! News Poll

In view of the increased visitors I have been having lately, (not much, I know, but I am still proud of people visiting this pretty new site, so thank you to everyone!) I just wish to know what kind of news format you people would like to see more here. I know the poll is right up there for everyone to see but some of you might miss it. I know, I've had my blonde moments too. If you do see it and participate, then that's good. At least, in that way, I'd know what my visitors want to see. So start polling!

P.S. It is at my sole discretion to decide what type of news format will be put up but I will try to appease my visitors' requests as well. So thank you all and do keep dropping by.

P.P.S. If anyone is interested in contributing other whacked news articles/images/videos or wish to be a guest poster, kindly let me know by leaving a comment in this post. I only require people with a good grasp of the English language and a sense of humor. And oh, it will also help if you're a whacky, zany toot. Thanks.

P.P.P.S. Huh? Oh. Okay.

Whack! News Special: Giraffes get married in Rio



Two giraffes tied a knot in a Rio de Janeiro zoo in Brazil much to the delight of zoo officials and visitors. It says they have been courting for a month and finally decided to tie the knot? Huh? How? I understand the zookeeper can study the animals' 'courtship' for a month and gauge they'e in love. But how did he/she know that they decided to tie the knot? The giraffes communicated their interest to the zookeeper? If so, how? Someone, please enlighten me on this!

Fire breathing and sword swallowing 101



The Circus Sideshow School in Coney Island has been teaching students to spit fire and swallow swords since 2002. Students go on to perform in clubs, state fairs, traveling circuses or show intermissions after completing the 1 week course.

Oh man, I want to sign up for this course too! I cannot image the number of girls I can impress with my fire breathing and sword swallowing skills. I'll be an instant hit! Plus ladies, you can improve your, ahem, other skills too, if you know what I mean.

Pillow Fight!



Thousands gather at New York City's Union Square for World Pillow Fight Day. Manhattan's event was hosted by Newmindspace, whose goal is to promote unity by making use of public spaces.

Hey anyone from the US attended this bizarre event? Anyone else from anywhere else heard about this? I think it is cool! Why isn't there one in my homeland? I have got to promote this man! Next time, I am going there for some pillow brawl. But my idea of a pillow fight has always included cute girls in skimpy underwear or nothing at all. I wonder if I am that lucky.

Japanese fertility festival



The Kanamara fertility festival, with its trademark parades of portable phallic shrines, is widely known, not only to locals but also foreigners, who make up nearly half this day's crowd.

Just when you think the Japanese weren't weird enough, they have this ancient ritual to promote fertility. Here is a better idea. Since the Japanese are so sex crazed, why not just organize a 'decent' romper stomper festival. Hey, everyone can join in and increase the fertility rate. A word of caution though, finding the right father may pose a challenge. So please register at the counter first.

Beware of wild turkeys



10 to 15 wild turkeys have taken over one Madison, Wisconsin, Neighborhood. Postal workers say the turkeys have attacked them on occasion. They say they are now protecting themselves to fend off the foul.

As if humans are not already harassed by other things, now the folks here have to battle it out with turkeys. I cannot imagine someone being attacked by a turkey! Well, the weirdest things do happen in the States. This gives a new idea for a B grade movie. 'Attack of the Killer Turkeys!' The winner gets a bottle of cranberry juice, for free!

Stupid Criminals - Full Version



Hah. A short clip on some of the dumbest crimes ever committed by some of the dumbest criminals. Man, I wish there was more of such stuff. And what's the deal with the host's accent anyway? Anyway, please do not feel inspired by innovating the stupid crimes. Now, now, I know some of you do this in reality, but please don't. You don't want to be in the next video, do you?

Mothers of Invention



Hey, not bad for a bunch of inventions. For those of you who cannot afford to spend five minutes to watch the video, I will not go into the details of what these inventions are but I will just summarize them for you. Backless bra, adjustable dress shoe heel and a hands free blow job. I mean, blow dryer. Heads up to you ladies, although I still find them weird but what do I know? I am a male.

Viralcom - YouTube spoilers


Bad news to all those YouTube webcam, self-whoring, star wannabes. You have been ripped off. It seems there is a crew that does all the videos. A live crew. It's all staged, people! Good luck trying to get famous on YouTube. Oh, did I mention I am a pathological liar? No? Okay good. Enjoy.


Now I am a huge, sort of, fan of Girls Gone Wild but this is probably the best I have ever seen from them. Guys, we know you love them Girls Gone Wild videos too, so stop pretending and start watching. Please, please do not get off to the video. Your keyboard will not like it. Oh, and please do not click on the Girls Gone Wild link if you're below 18. We will sue you. Thank you.

Manta Manta


Oh my, this video so caught my eye that I just had to put it up. Courtesy of the Dry Hump Comedy folks. Now I am so going to check out their website and you should to. Dry Hump is not good for you so please, get wet or wet yourself. Or, as a last resort, get someone to get you. Oh, Manta, oh Manta!

China mulls to life poverty benchmark


Poverty has a benchmark too, it seems. So if your per annual capita income is 1301 Yen, you're officially not recognized as being poor in China. Hence, you're not in a state of poverty. How about a benchmark for the rich? That way, most off the rich people on Earth won't be so rich anymore. Hey, at least it will make the Chinese government feel good about themselves.

Loudspeaker prayer call politics


The kind of news that we see these days. The kind of accusations we see. Even prayer calls are something to be discussed about. Like the report says, I wonder how many people actually get up to pray at the stipulated time. Loud prayer calls are unnecessary people. No offence but isn't this disruptive to many? It was necessary those days as they had no telecommunications system. Now we do, so no need for loud blasting prayer calls. If you're sincere about your religion, you don't need a loud hailing alarm to wake you up. Get rid of them. Sigh.

Micro-blogging


It seems that this is rather old news. Micro-blogging has been around for a while. An acquaintance I know has been micro blogging about her life with her son for almost a year now. Why is this news just surfacing? Sometimes news is just not so new anymore. Just hope they don't come up with news in the future that says, 'Blogging on the fly'.

Video for 'Tax Rap'



Now every one remember to pay your taxes cause Uncle Sam has gone public by doing a rap for us.

Who the F is What The Buck?


Has anyone comes across this guy? Hey, if you happen to be someone I know or you're in some site I know, then please forgive me. I'm kidding. Interesting talent you have there. How do you do that with your effeminate voice? Man, I wish I could do something like that and gain instant popularity. But the idea of keeping up with blogging is tough enough. I dread the idea of video blogging. Anyway, who the heck is this guy anyway? Nice show title. What The Buck? Anyone knows him? I so don't want to Google this guy for details. Someone. Anyone. Please. Stop this insanity.

Silence of the skirt


It's not often someone comes across something really odd. But this is so simple yet it is completely whacked. The original video posting has a totally offbeat title and the video, is, err, surprisingly very quiet. So quiet, there is no music. Not even a sound. I guess the featured girl likes to keep it hush hush, you know? Hey now, don't go and tell nobody about this. Stupidity should be contained. But why am I promoting this video? Come on, give silent girl a chance. She is here to become popular too, you know.

American Airlines telephone harassments


Poor Samuel L. Jackson. Who would have imagined someone would his lines to do something so horrible like this? I mean the poor American Airlines staff. What did they do? I find it amusing that some of them found it amusing. What if this wasn't a joke people? Think about all those poor snakes that will die in the end. Oh, and talking about ending, please don't get offended. It's going to be on explosive ride.

Best baseball game ever


What a great game this has got to be. I mean all that attention just on you. Got to thank the folks at ImprovEverywhere. I think they are doing a great job for these kids. But I wonder, if they will do the same thing for others who want to get similar exposure? I mean, hey who doesn't like to be featured on the news and have live commentary?

Blog And Win A Top Spot at JunkieYard

It seems our unknown friend at JunkieYard is running some contest about 'Blog And Win A Top Spot'. Here is a snippet from his post:-

"I will run this contest every week… The first one should be on day 1 every month… The second one is on day 7 every month… The third one is on day 14 every month… And the last one for the month is on day 21 every month… Then I will start it over again on day 1 the on the next month and the next and the next… The winner will get the top spot for a month… So… we got a winner every week… As you can see at the top of this page where it says "Contest Winner Week 1" "Contest Winner Week 2" "Contest Winner Week 3" "Contest Winner Week 4" That’s where you’ll get your top spot… How about that… At the top of the page… Nobody will missed that… It’s the first thing they see…"

So here are the requirements and they're easy. All you have to do is this. 1) Blog about the contest at your own site. Hey, that is what I am doing , woohoo! 2) Post up a lousy an awesome graphic banner anywhere at your own site. Not elsewhere. Haha. Sorry JunkieYard, the quality is bad great now but still we all love The Penquin, so hooray to you! 3) Then go ahead and leave a comment on his own site and point the link of your site that is pointing to his competition. Follow? No? Your loss. Now that's real easy, right? It's just a simple, sensible thing to do, right? But hey, no spamming ! Winner will be picked randomly. Of course, you weren't expecting you to be the only one to post and win, right? Oh yeah, one more thing. If his comment post is closed, that means the contest is closed! So hurry, what are you waiting for? Put that bad quality banner on your site, post about it, comment on his blog and be a winner!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You have to be a WordPress user or have an OpenID user to sumbit a comment on his site. If you haven't a clue what WordPress and OpenID are, then we won't help you. Try our friends at Google. Thank you.

As for us at Whack! News, we're proud, sort of, to say that we're probably the first to post about his site here on Whack! News. Like, duh!

Edit: New banner has surfaced and it sure looks awesome! Please God, let me win just so I can put the cool banner!

Whack! News Special: Chimp shot dead by Police



Woah. Major weird story we've got here. The chimp failed to respond to the police officer's warnings? The officer gave two warnings before he fired several times? What the heck is going on with these Texan cowboy officers? Heya cowboy! That is a chimp, you know, a chimpanzee. It doesn't speak or understand English. Even if it was trained to understand certain verbal commands, it sure wouldn't understand something like, 'Put down the stun gun Mr Chimp or I will fire at will!' The next time you see a violent animal on the streets, make sure you call the cops and they will give verbal warnings to these animals too and for failure of compliance, be forced to shoot, an unspecified number of times. Sheer asinine reporting.

Candle blamed for starting dorm fire



Please, someone arrest the damn candle already. We do not need such these arson candles in our lives anymore! While you're at it, go out there and look for more suspicious looking arson candles. You never know when they might strike. Beware citizens of the world. Your next lit candle may cause a fire in you, literally. By the way, anyone got a light? I'm starving for a smoke. Oh look, a lit candle. How convenient.

Woman convicted of rape feels like victim



Sure thing, sista. We totally believe you didn't rape the 15 year old boy. Poor boy. How violated he must have felt. Unless, he was a total nerd, he would have to be a complete idiot not to enjoy sex with someone older. No, I am not advocating such stuff but hey let's be honest here. How does a woman rape anyway? Is it even possible? What do you think?

China men arrested at LA Aiport



Dudes, I mean peng yo, how stupid can you get? Like who the fish were you trying to kid trying to sneak in highly sensitive cameras like that without a license? You think the Americans are nitwits? Man, these Chinese dudes need some professional training on how to sneak stuff in illegally without getting caught. And next time you want to try something like that, don't do it in America. And please, for crying out loud, not at the airport.

Mini tips on first dates?


It's no secret that dating can be awkward and stressful, especially on that critical first date. Professional matchmaker and author Samantha Daniels shares tips for having a great first impression.

Oh come on, now. Have we people become so mentally challenged that we need to resort to more and more tips on dating, relationships and sex? Sure, some of us are complete nutcases when it comes to these things. But for the majority, you know how the game is played. All you need is some not-so-common sense. If everyone is going to follow the tips and tricks of some 'dating expert', then we'd all know what is coming in store for us. That sure doesn't make the date any fun. Actually it is insane. Just go out there, meet someone and be yourself. No need to be 'this person' the 'dating expert' suggests you to be. How whacked can this be? Sheesh!

Runaway turtle



The folks at a Texas museum say a 2-foot-long snapping turtle called Bob has been located in a construction area. Bob had been with a group of turtles to be moved in Sept. during renovations at a museum pond when he disappeared. Well, the next time you plan an escape that takes that long, don't get stuck in a construction site. Poor fella.

Collection of odd videos



Chad Ruble presents the best of this week's Oddly Enough video from the Reuters studio in Times Square. Juggle your balls away, skydive in a container and see Evil Dead with songs. Excellent dosage for those with, other, intentions.

It's Alive, it's alive!



The "Alive Gallery" in the South Korean capital has brought characters in famous paintings to life using the latest in technology enabling visitors to interact with Mona Lisa and Jesus and his disciples at the last supper. The "Alive Gallery" in the South Korean capital has brought characters in famous paintings to life using the latest in technology enabling visitors to interact with Mona Lisa and Jesus and his disciples at the last supper. Finally, we can 'speak' to the dead and the kinky. Art has never been more alive than now.

Sorry Haters, Blame It On MY Asian


Written and performed by McUtilize {Lyrics} As life goes on I'm starting to learn more and more about youtube and responsibility And I realize that everything I do is affecting all the haters around me So I want to take this time out to apologize for things that I've done things that haven't occurred yet and things that they don't want to take responsibility for I'm sorry that my hater comments have grown I was playing tennis and you were alone I'm sorry for the times that I had to masterbate I'm sorry for the fact that you hate That you were sitting home just wishing I would reply So you could go on and make me cry I'm sorry for the times you were neglected I'm sorry for the times bush was reelected.

Haha! Now that is some funny shit. Even the lyrics as seen above which I suppose were by the author himself, is wrong and whacked!
