A 32-year-old woman who collapsed after a marshmallow eating-and-talking contest at the Western Fair this week has died in a London hospital, a spokesperson said yesterday.
...
"Janet was a sweet, shy person and they would have had to talk her into the event. I'm sure she would have been a reluctant participant. It's not something you would expect her to do."
...
The event, since cancelled by the fair, requires contestants to pop one marshmallow at a time into their mouths and say "chubby bunny" to amuse spectators until they can't say it anymore.
...
She said they were both members of a bible study group and "very religious, very good women." They attended South secondary school together, she said.

The other source said the twins were active in the Conservative party.

"They were thrilled to meet Stephen Harper (now prime minister) during the federal election campaign early this year," she said.

 

That's why you should stick to six saltines in one minute.

 

She died before she ever saw Damon Allen make theNFL Pro Football Hall of Fame...

 

Tune in at 2pm for the next thread: A Canadian takes a shit.

We'll have discussion from our panel of Canadian experts, including one 57-year-old from Ontario who claims that he has shit in the shape of a Maple Leaf and how that proves his country's supremacy over the United States.

Guest callers will include Boots, who will discuss the difference in density and emergency lubricant potential between the shits of American and Canadian women.

Once again, that's "A Canadian takes a shit," coming up at 2pm, on CTV, formerly known as SportsJournalists.com.

 

So two 32-year-old twins shared a bedroom in their parents' house?

That's just weird.

RIP nonetheless...but weird.

 

Why is it weird? They were probably identical twins.

 

Now that's comedy!

 

Wasn't there a story about a little girl dying of the same stupid "Chubby Bunny" game a while ago.

 

yes, at a school carnival.

Chubby Bunny has to be the most idiotic 'game' in the history of idiocy. You smash fistful marshmallows into your throat, where they melt into a long throat-shaped mass of goo....can't swallow it, can't cough it up. First one to turn blue gets a ride to the ER. Next, the fifth graders will chew glass, first one to finish a whole Coke bottle wins! Yay!

 

Who the fuck invented this ridiculous-ass game? I'd never heard of it before and cracked up upon reading about this.

I don't mean to stereotype (well, OK, in this case I do), but this sounds exactly like something a bunch of Christians would do for fun at Bible camp. Can't drink, can't swear, can't fuck, so what's there to do when the glorifying of Jesus gets a bit tedious? Why, let's shove endless volumes of marshmellows in our mouths and say Chubby Bunny!?

There's some pent-up sexuality going on here. I don't think I have to point out the obvious oral sex influence, as well as the use of Chubby, not-so-subtly masked by the use of Bunny. These clean girls might be saying something that implies a cute, innocent creature, but they're thinking of a Dionysian oral sex-fueled romp in the woods with the camp counselor.

What if they use chocolate marshmellows? Do they have to say Brown Bunny?

 

Well what do they do at Muslim camp?

What about Jew camp?

Or athiest camp?

Please, let us know.
