it turns out you can die from something with fairy in the name

Man dies in cake-eating contest
An inquest is to be held on a man who died during a contest to see who could eat the most fairy cakes.

The man, thought to be from Birmingham, collapsed at a Swansea nightclub during the event at the end of a party to raise funds for an art exhibition.

Police say there are no suspicious circumstances following the incident at the city's Monkey Cafe and Bar during the early hours of Friday.

The coroner has been informed and the family have been told.

It is believed attempts were made by staff and customers at the nightclub to revive the man.

In a statement, club owners Amanda Davey and Paul Dyke said: "We are all devastated by this tragic accident.

"We are all in shock.

"It was a tragic accident and very sad and should serve as a cautionary tale.

"Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family."

A South Wales Police spokesman said: "There are no suspicious circumstances and a file is being prepared for the coroner."

so now this leads to an interesting question (or two!):

should public eating contests be banned or at least closely regulated?

what cake would you like to kill you through over consumption?

am I a sick old man for finding this ever so slightly a fun way to die?

are you a fairy?

my answers (so I don't get shouted at):

1) no, but insurance companies will no likely insist on it
2) strawberry cheesecake please
3) yes
4) yes

We call em cupcakes in the US.

Maybe we should call em Deathcakes. What a way to go.

They should've envisaged the rush!

1). No. Eating contests go on all the time with no immediate harm. There shouldn't be any extra regulations just because of one fluke.

2) Double Chocolate!

3) No.

4) No.

what do you call a frilly piece of disposable paper?Cupcake liners.

The "cup" is one of the compartments in the baking tin used to make them.

What would you prefer? We put fairies in cakes?

*nods* :)

The frogurt is also cursed!

That's bad

But you get your choice of topping!

Fairy cakes, now with more fairies.

Chinese fighting muffins from Charlie's Angels movie!!

I don't think that you can make eating contests illegal. Well, certainly not in people's own homes. It's sad that he died, and part of me wants there to be more education about the human body and it's ability to consume food, but part of me thinks that perhaps people dying in eating contests is somehow part of "natural selection".

However, I will add an interesting (and heart-wrenching) story:

Her stomach "exploded".

Please excuse the source, but this is the best version of the story I was able to find: http://www.crazycaterpillar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=740

Then it would have been a chicken eating contest.

Awww man, you just had to make it worse didn't you? I mean uergharagh.
As to the main topic, goes to show in some cases cake does kill.
In fact i think it's a good way to die, eating too many cakes, because at least you know you've had a good meal before you die, and you'l probably be remembered for a long time afterward. R.I.P Fairy cake man.

Oooh... that's bad.

That's an amazingly childish response.

And, personally, I don't think eating yourself to death would be a good way to die... It would be an excruciating way to die.

Yeah, but at least you'd be on a mega sugar rush, right?

It was meant to be taken with good humour (my defence mechanism), but if you want a serious response i'd say i was horrified by that sort of thing. Then again no death's are nice.

Oh! Sorry.... It's hard to tell on teh interwebz.

That's very true.

I wonder if dying during sex from a heart attack would be any good... :confused:

It certainly sounds more pleasant than dying during sex because an elephant stepped on you. ;)

Yeah tell me about it, i get other folks confused with half the things i say, including mods.(maybe it's the way i say them?)

depends who you're doing it with, probably not i mean the person who was having sex with you might be accused of murder.
But then again there's only one way to know for certain, well actually i suppose there's about three come to think of it.

Well, that's for sure.
