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 Poll
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.
