Welcome to Mamamia Rogue’s Shocker, Hero and Whinger of the Week.
You know what goes on here, Roguers. A champion human being (Or animal. Or food group. Pretty much anything) gets the Hero nod. Someone who has been giving us grief gets the Whinger award. And the Shocker trophy goes to the story that made our jaws drop.
Let’s do this.
Hero of the Week.
This is possibly the greatest hero of all time, surely.
A 109-year-old man called Alfie knits jumpers for injured penguins. That’s right. 109. Jumpers. Penguins.
Not just any jumpers. Fancy jumpers. Pretty jumpers. Jumpers that turn a normal penguin into an enviable hipster penguin.
Please also note: One of the penguins is wearing a Penguin-books-themed jumper. META.
Want to know how Alfie started his hobby? Yeah you do.
Whinger of the Week
Our Whinger this week is an absolute nutter. Seriously.
Cho Hyun-ah, a 40-year-old Korean woman who stands to inherit the Korean Air empire, threw a tantrum when she was served macadamia nuts in a BAG and not in a BOWL on a plane. And when we say ‘tantrum’, we mean she forced the plane to taxi back into JFK airport, altering it’s flight route, which is a 10 year maximum prison sentence. She also physically assaulted an air steward.
Her punishment? One year in jail. Take that, nutbag.
Shocker of the Week.
Prepare yourselves. This may surprise you.
A 17-year-old boy has undergone surgery in USA to make his penis smaller. SMALLER.
The teen requested the surgery after he was having trouble with sex, sport, and just generally wearing pants. Surgeons describe his penis as being about the size of a football – 7 inches in length, and 10 inches in circumference. There were some health problems that had left his penis misshapen and bloated… but he’s all better now. And can probably use the story as a pick-up line for the rest of his life.
