Contestants fail to
turn up for Laziest Man competition
The
Guinness Book of Records has reopened its search for participants to compete
for the title of the World’s
“We are having trouble finding volunteers,” admitted a spokesman, “It seems that most of the eligible candidates couldn’t be bothered entering. The ones that did decide to compete failed to turn up.”
Meanwhile, the competition has attracted controversy after Japanese man Yuki Bludgimoto was excluded after organisers decided that a Japanese contestant was “fundamentally inconsistent” with the concept of a laziness competition.
“Some might call it racist, but there is no way that the world’s laziest man would be an Asian,” said a spokesman, “I mean, this bloke is running around now threatening to sue us for discrimination which just proves my point. That’s a big display of energy from someone who reckons he’s lazy.”
The rescheduled competition starts later this month when all contestants will check in at the National Centre for Inactivity before proceeding to the first event, the TV Marathon.
The contest is sponsored by the ACTU and the CFMEU.
