Guinness World Records now seem so cheap
A Guinness World Records certification is a highly coveted achievement.
And since they are certified for only achievements
that no one else has attained worldwide or those set by others that are then
broken, people go to great lengths that sometimes test them physically just to
get the certification that can open doors for them worldwide.
And whilst some just achieve GWR certifiable records
in the course of going about their normal careers, others have to really go out
of their way to earn them.
They come up with the idea for a record they feel
they can make happen, set it in motion and sometimes just as they set it, it is
broken just a few hours later as someone
inspired by the idea also sets theirs in motion.
In a nutshell, getting a GWR certification is
supposed to be a herculean task.
Kenya chef, Dorcas Kwamboka aka Dorky Dorcas, has
however cast doubt on the value of a GWR certification as she has publicly
burned the one she earned for making three chapatis in the fastest time ever of
2 minutes and 26.92 seconds.
And she claimed to burn it because people have been
cyber-bullying her since she earned it.
Her quick burning of it however seems to prove that
she got it very cheaply and since people don’t value cheap things, she was able
to burn it so easily thereby.
Just an all-round embarrassment!
