AIPEI (Taiwan News) — After losing a bet on the voter turnout for the recall of former Kuomintang (KMT) Kaohsiung Mayor Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜), Taipei City councilor Chiu Wei-chieh (邱威傑) on Tuesday (June 9) crushed 53 chopsticks with his buttocks.

Chiu, a YouTuber who founded the "Can't Stop This Party" (歡樂無法黨) in May, claimed that no more than 400,000 people would turn out for the recall vote on Han, thus failing to meet the minimum of 574,996 required to succeed. However, if more showed up, he swore he would smash a pair of chopsticks for every 10,000 votes above his bet with his behind.

To his horror, 939,090 Kaohsiung residents voted to remove Han from office on Saturday (June 6), translating into 53.909 chopsticks. Many netizens waited with eager anticipation to watch his antics that same day but were disappointed when he failed to surface over the weekend.

Finally, on Monday (June 8), Chiu summoned up the courage and released a teaser on his Facebook page announcing that he would indeed follow through on his promise the next day with "the battle of the anus versus chopsticks." On Tuesday, Chiu, who goes by the YouTube handle "Froggy" (呱吉), released his long-anticipated video on his YouTube channel.

In the video, which he describes as "not safe for work," Chiu explains that he had performed the stunt once before on stage in Kaohsiung in 2019. He says he was inspired by a Japanese TV show that demonstrated the technique 20 years ago.

Chiu then proceeds to remove his pants to reveal tight, black underwear. He then inserts the first chopstick under his underwear and across his rear end and squeezes it rigorously with his gluteus maximus to, in effect, give himself a wedgie and snap the wooden utensil in the process.

Onlookers can be seen cringing each time Chiu painfully snaps one chopstick after another. At one point, he even crushes three chopsticks in one fell swoop.

Chiu even suffers a minor injury when splinters from one chopstick drew some blood. Undaunted, Chiu bravely pushes onward with his mission and eventually reaches his goal of cracking 53 chopsticks.

At the end of the video, Chiu said that his feat was amazing, but not as amazing as the 939,000 people of Kaohsiung who came forward to vote.

Many netizens were impressed at Chiu's display:

"Doing what you promise, that's what I call a real politician."

"Froggy is a real man!"

"Why are they wooden chopsticks? Shouldn't they be metal?"

"Super fierce, next time he should challenge sugar cane."

"The saddest day in the history of chopsticks."

Given how alkaline urine is, I wonder if that generated enough electrolysis to charge his phone?

Ummmm.... pulling his wire?

All night, I have been trying to think of a wise ass comment to this one.

The only think I can think of is:
I bet he got a real charge out of it!

Here's one to go with the panties:

Man puts phone charger up his penis, requires surgery
An Indian man admitted to hospital with abdominal pain had inserted a mobile phone charger cable into his manhood, a doctor who treated him told CNN.

The man went to a hospital in northeastern India claiming he had ingested some earphones, said the hospital’s general surgeon, Dr. Walliul Islam.

Doctors had to perform surgery when the cord didn’t appear despite the patient being prescribed laxatives.

“He came to us after five days (and) despite passing stool several times the cable did not come out,’’ Islam told CNN. “We then conducted an endoscopy but still couldn’t find anything.

“As the patient complained of severe pain, we decided to perform surgery and found that there was nothing in his intestine.”

An X-ray revealed the man to have a two-foot-long charging cable in his bladder, which was inserted via his urethra, the tube that leads from the penis to the bladder.

A Diner Turned Drive-In in Queens

The owners of Astoria’s Bel Aire Diner have adapted to the pandemic by hosting drive-in movies in their parking lot, where they serve such classic fare as mozzarella sticks and “Pulp Fiction” sliders.

And another novel coronavirus treatment from Iran. Drinking camel's piss can help you beat the bug ... but only when it's fresh and warm!

Ah, Breitbart, nothing wrong with a new conspiracy theory every next day. It's unfortunate they're reporting that camel piss doesn't seem to work, otherwise you'd probably be able to buy camel piss in capsules from Alex Jones by now.

But I've eaten camel meat once, without even knowing it. It's pretty common in the middle east. While it may sound strange to "western folks", people tend to eat what they have available.

Apparently some people pay big money for that sort of thing

A pair of panties worn by a sweaty, old Ukrainian woman isn’t something I would pay for unless it was to be as far away from them as possible.

The best comment? “She was lucky she wasn’t wearing a thong that day, otherwise the idea would have failed!”

It would have been a challenge, but if she'd been going commando, then the idea would really have failed.

Which side did she put over her face? The front or the back?

Not a very pleasant conundrum to consider...

Ukrainian woman uses panties for facemask

Talk about quick thinking.

A Ukrainian woman wasn’t about to be denied service at a post office for not wearing a mask, as has been mandated in her country since April.

The woman was caught on camera taking off her panties and then wearing them as a makeshift mask. Not surprisingly, the footage recorded at the Nova Posha post office in Kiev went viral.

The woman clearly wasn’t pleased when told she wouldn’t be allowed to take care of her postal requirements and angrily removed her pants in front of other customers and put the white panties over her face.

According to U.K.’s The Sun, the woman is a mother of two who doesn’t like the restrictions imposed in Ukraine during the COVID-19 pandemic. Residents have had to wear a mask in public and carry identification since April.

“Well, she found a way around it,” someone said on a social media post. “No one has banned the use of panties instead of a mask yet!”

The best comment? “She was lucky she wasn’t wearing a thong that day, otherwise the idea would have failed!”

Even though it was a special delivery, apparently a post-office employee is in hot water for releasing the video.
