CITY COUNCILMAN LOSES BET, BREAKS CHOPSTICKS WITH HIS BUM

In Taiwan, Taipei City councilor Chiu Wei-chieh lost a bet on voter turnout for the recall of a local mayor. Mr. Chiu claimed that no more than 400,000 people would turn out for the recall vote. However, if more showed up, he vowed to smash a pair of chopsticks with his butt for every 10,000 votes above 40,000. To his horror, 939,090 residents voted last Saturday to remove the mayor from office, translating into 53 chopsticks that needed to be broken in Mr. Chiu’s buttocks. On Tuesday, Chiu released a video on his YouTube channel of him inserting pairs of chopsticks – vertically, thank god for small favors – into his butt crack, clenching tight and breaking them. Imagine, if you will, 27 self-induced wooden wedgies. Despite suffering from splinters, Chiu eventually reached his goal of breaking 53 chopsticks with his butt.

* They’ve got some real crack politicians in Taiwan, huh?
* Worst of all, afterwards they made him eat a complete Chinese dinner with the busted chopsticks.
* It’s so great he made a video of this. Thanks, Chiu.
* Taiwan government sounds just like a big ol’ fraternity house.
* Okay, Trump, Biden – which of you will step up to increase voter turnout?
* They ought to require all the people behind losing local ballot issues to do this. “Your highway tax didn’t pass? Here’s your chopsticks – get busy!”
