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.

Yes, I took the headline from the one on fark.

Theres too many jokes here to be made at a dead man's expense so I'll leave it alone.

RIP Fairy Cake.

If he won a Darwin Award would that mean that the Fairy Cake took one for the team?

Furthermore, it doesnt really seem like a "crazily-######ed stupid" thing to do per se, it was for an art auction....

Where'd you go, Dion? No more cake jokes? Nothing like 'I hear that the autopsy revealed arteries caked with colesterol' or something...? Heh heh...

His daugher can't join Brownies because it brings up bad memories...
