| Russian “Rich Brat” Offers People Money to Humiliate Themselves in Public Posted: 19 May 2015 04:48 AM PDT Grigory Mamurin, grandson of Russian multi-millionaire Igor Neklyudov, is making waves for his bizarre display of wealth. The 16-year-old made a video of himself asking people to perform humiliating tasks like stripping in public and drinking his urine in exchange for huge sums of money. Most people walked away while some accepted the challenge, but one man was so angered by the suggestion that he punched the rich kid in the face. The short video, shot in Moscow's Gorky Park, has gone viral with over one million views on YouTube. It starts with Grigory sitting in his expensive Mercedes limousine, talking to his audience. "Today we have come to Gorky Park in order to find out how much humiliation people are ready to experience for the sake of money," he says. |
| Anty Gin – World’s First Gin Made Using Ants Posted: 19 May 2015 04:20 AM PDT True to its name, 'Anty Gin' is literally made from red wood ants. British distiller Will Lowe collects thousands of ants from the forests of Kent and prepares the gin at his lab-style distillery in Cambridge. The bizarre concoction is the world's first gin to be made from insects, so naturally, it doesn't come cheap. Each 70cl bottle costs £200 ($313), and contains the essence of 62 ants. The idea for Anty Gin came about when Danish organisation Nordic Food Lab contacted Lowe, who makes custom gins for a living. "We were approached by a company from Copenhagen called Nordic Food Lab who explore the culinary qualities of insects and argue for the eating of them in western cuisine. They asked us to come up with a gin where the typical citrus flavor came not from lemon or lime peel, but from ants." Lowe said. |
| Japan’s Macho Cafe Is Like Hooters for Women Posted: 19 May 2015 03:59 AM PDT Women in Tokyo, Japan, recently got the opportunity to enjoy a visual treat at their very own Hooters-style café. The pop-up venue, called Macho Café, featured muscled men clad in tight vests, serving food to visibly flustered female customers. According to Macho Café's official website, the owners asked themselves a very puzzling question” "why are there cafes that offer coffee from carefully selected beans, but no cafes that offer carefully selected macho men?" So they decided to rectify the situation by offering "finest quality premium roast" handpicked bodybuilders to their female clientele. |
