Sad but funny

Janet Rudd, age 32, died last week in London Ontario. This is sad, but I must point out how she died which is funny.

She was playing "chubby bunny."

Unframiliar with this game? Hard to believe, but here's the premise: it is a marshmallow eating contest. You stuff marshmallows in your mouth until you can no longer say the phrase "chubby bunny."

Needless to say, Janet is no longer saying chubby bunny, nor is a 12 year-old girl from Illinois who died of the same thing in 1999. They both choked on the marshmallow which basically creates a gummy plug which makes it hard to breath.

The question is, will Ontario follow-up their anti-smoking legislation and legislate against the death inducing marshmallow?

In addition to Janet there were seven other contestants, meaning that those who partake in chubby bunny have a one in eight chance of dying. We should also probably charge the companies who manufacture marshmallows and see if Michael Moore is available to make a documentary on the matter.
