Guinness World Records Dissociates Self From Cry-a-Thon Man
Guinness World Record has openly disassociated itself from a man who went partially blind for attempting to break a record for the longest crying Marathon by an individual.
Tembu Ebere, who has a Cameroonian heritage, attempted to break a Guinness World Record for crying for seven days, non-stop.
Ebere, in an interview published on BBC on Sunday, claimed that he went partially blind for 45 minutes while attempting the challenge.
Ebere said he had to reevaluate his approach and reduce the intensity of his wailing as it was causing him headaches.
Reacting, Guinness World Records distanced itself from such a record, stating that they did not approve it as they would never be able to monitor such a record.
“Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying. Here’s what can be monitored by our team,” the body wrote.
