Idiot Uses Power Drill to Eat Corn on the Cob in 10 Seconds

We"ve seen many people do many weird things with food over the years.


Such a thing as the Slurpee Doughnut exists, for example.


And you may get a heart attack just by reading the description of a French Fry Burger Taco. Yuck.


But some guy in China has gone viral not for putting a new spin on a type of food, but by spinning his corn on the cob. With a power drill.


And then by putting that power drill very close to his mouth and eating said corn on the cob.



We"re not making this up.


There"s apparently a disturbing global competition taking place over the Internet that involves folks trying to consume an entire cob of corn as quickly as possibly.


This dude has set the pace at 10 seconds, but he"s done so by being a total and complete moron putting his mouth and face in grave danger.


Please do not try what you"re about to see at home. You seem like a nice person. We don"t want to bleed all over your corn.



Seriously, here we were, thinking that Michael Buble at his corn in unusual fashion.


We take it all back now, however.


At least that singer was only in danger of being mocked by the World Wide Web, as opposed to destroying all of his teeth just to earn a few YouTube hits.


And the guy has earned those hits, well over 100,000 and counting at last check.


We"re just not entirely sure if this was worth it.


Actually, we are sure: it was totally not worth it. But what"s done is done.


What"s eaten is eaten.


So you might as well stop what you"re doing and see what it looks like for someone to devour a full piece of corn on the cob via power drill, right?


You"ve come this far. You just need to go a little bit farther…

Kim Mathers: Eminem"s Ex-Wife Opens Up About Suicide Attempt

Early in his career, Eminem made a name for himself by rapping about his love of drugs and self-destructive behavior.


The rapper (real name, Marshall Mathers) has been sober for several years now, and has admitted that his drug use nearly killed him on more than one occasion.


Sadly, many in his inner circle have not found it so easy leave their dangerous habits in the past.


Back in January, Mathers" former sister-in-law (and mother to his adopted daughter) Dawn Scott died from a heroin overdose at the age of 40.


Now, his ex-wife (and mother of his other daughter), Kim Mathers, is struggling once again with the demons that nearly claimed her life several years ago.


After learning that a pair of popular Detroit radio DJs had accused her of receiving preferential treatment following a car accident last year, Mathers called in to make a shocking confession.



Live on the air, Mathers revealed that the accident was actually a suicide attempt, and police had sealed the records out of deference to her mental health struggles.


"There are things that go on in people"s lives, and just because people think we have money that it makes us happy," Kim said.


"Yeah, I can pay bills. Yeah, I can get my kids whatever they want…But you lose friends. You lose family. You no one to trust, to even talk to about personal matters. That"s hard.


"Yes, I drank, I took pills, and I hit the gas and aimed for a poll."


Kim goes on to tell the DJs and their audience that she was admitted to first responders on the scene that the crash was a suicide attempt.


As such, she was not arrested, but ordered to seek psychiatric counseling, which she has since done.


Needless to say, the radio hosts sound a bit sheepish after being so publicly put in their place.
