On some days, we like to laugh at stupid things. Today, my friends, is one of those days. It all starts with mass panic because a store sold out of men's thongs! The story begins in with a town called Cork in Ireland that wanted to break a Guinness World Record for body-painting. There are strict rules sometimes when it comes to breaking a record and this day was no different.

But it seems that strict instructions where enforced that you had to wear a thong, and stores in town ran out.

Just after midday yesterday, only Utopia, an adult shop in the city centre, had supplies left. A shop assistant said: "My phone’s been constantly ringing and I only have two or three pairs of thongs left at this stage. I would order more in, but there wouldn’t be time."

Prior to Utopia stepping in to save the day, organisers had issued a Facebook warning, stating: "Men’s thongs have sold out in Cork. Some people are saying they are wearing jockstraps. You could also wear a woman’s thong (just make sure it’ll hold you in) or you could wear Y-fronts."

However, chief organiser Keira O’Connell, from Cork, insisted the setback would not prevent history being made today, with the Cork Body Painting Group almost certain to smash the existing record of 264 painted bodies.
