This Week in Weird News: Wildlife Edition

Ohhhhh boy. Depending on your views, 2016 has taken a turn for the worse or has exceeded your expectations. The United States of America’s electoral college system has elected Donald Trump as its new president. Former president Ferdinand Marcos, known for rampant human rights violations, tortures, murder, disappearances and more during one of the country’s darkest times, will be buried in the Libingan ng mga Bayani after a 9-5 vote by the Supreme Court. If that’s not enough, Leonard Cohen passed away at the age of 82. Meanwhile, Juan Ponce Enrile is still serving office.

Somehow, politics may have had an effect on the weird happenings in the world today, and there was quite a lot of them. Some good and some bad. Starting with:

Toblerone changes the space between chocolate triangles, breaks our hearts

If 2016 wasn’t bad enough, folks at the UK have to deal with another tragedy after Brexit. Toblerone will now be widening the gaps between the triangles in their chocolate bars.

What looked like this:

A traditional Toblerone chocolate is pictured in the Toblerone factory in Bern, February 15, 2008. Toblerone turns 100 this year and with Swiss chocolate sales setting new records, its makers say appetites for its distinctive triangular pieces remain strong. Owned since 1990 by the Swiss subsidiary of Kraft Foods, Toblerone is produced solely in the Swiss capital of Berne. Toblerone last year produced around 6.5 billion triangles -- one for each person in the world. The company does not issue sales figures, but a spokeswoman said sales have grown steadily since 1995, with double-digit growth in 2007. Today, around 25 percent of all Toblerone sales come from international airports and 96 percent of all bars produced are exported to 120 countries. REUTERS/Ruben Sprich (SWITZERLAND)

The company who owns Toblerone, Mondelēz International, says the move was a cost-saving measure to reduce the bars’ weight.

The move has since gotten a negative reaction. The brand however denies the change was a result of Brexit.

Our hearts are with the UK right now.

 

Cheating allegations hound Brazil’s Miss Bumbum Festival

Erika Canela got the best bottom this year. She gets awarded a modelling contract and USD $14,900 for being blessed with such assets. However, all is not peachy in the world of Miss Bumbum.
Runners-up Danny Morais and Karyn Alvyshave hurled cheating accusations against each other. They accused each other of vote buying. Morais also claims Alvyshave to have gotten butt implants for the competition, which is against the rules. Alvyshave has denied the accusations and claims her butt is all natural.
Brazilian Catholics were also outraged when pageant finalists re-enacted Leonardo Davinci’s “The Last Supper” in a photo-shoot.

The eagerly-awaited grand finale of this year's Miss Bumbum competition is just weeks away and to mark the final stretch of the campaign, the organizers have released an eyebrow-raising press invite. Replacing biblical characters with some of the bikini-clad candidates they have reproduced the scene from Leonardo Da Vinci's famous mural, which depicts the meal at which Jesus announced one of his disciples would betray him. Cacau Oliver, founder of the competition, said the image mixed religion and women - two of the national passions in Brazil. "We don't mean to offend the church," he said. For the competitors, it means they are just weeks away from fighting it out for the title of Brazil's best butt. After 10 million votes were cast online, the final 15 have been chosen and will compete in Sao Paulo on November 9th.

Mother claims drinking sperm smoothies has booster immunity because reasons

Want to avoid getting the colds? A mother from Buckinghamshire claims the secret to living a healthy life is by drinking sperm.

Twenty-nine year old Tracy Kiss says her best friend regularly “donates” sperm to her for her smoothies in order to boost her immunity. She claims every batch tastes different, depending on what her friend just ate. On some occasions, she drinks the sperm neat.

Speaking to The Sun, Kiss says “I’d been feeling run down and had no energy, but now I’m full of beans and my mood has improved.” She adds, “It can taste really good – depending on what my friend has been eating. My other mates think I’m strange, but I don’t give a toss.”
She also uses the sperm as an extreme form of facial to cure the redness of her skin. Right. So maybe all the times men came on the faces of women in porno was because they’re actually doing them a favor? That’s pretty selfless and thoughtful.
