Burger blunder causes early exit

Before I start tonight's post, I would like to say to our Lithuanian readers Sveiki atvykę į eurą (welcome to the euro). This would also be a great time to remind our readers that the Bellend of the Month will be announced on the first of the month going forward instead of the last. The Bellend of the Month for December 2014 is Whitney Beseler, who will remember her stint on Australian game show Millionaire Hot Seat as the day she became famous. But the P.E. teacher and Contiki tour manager from Ballarat didn't write history as one of the lucky game show contestants who go home with a million. She will be remembered as the blonde who didn't get the $100 question right. She was asked by host Eddie McGuire, "Which of these is not a piece of jewellery commonly worn to symbolise a relationship between two people?" There were four choices: anniversary ring, engagement ring, wedding ring, and burger ring. At that moment her nervousness apparently had taken the best of her and Beseler confidently locked in 'anniversary ring'. When host McGuire had troubles to keep a straight face she realised her mistake. "Oh my God, burger ring!" she exclaimed. "Oh, Eddie - that is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me. Can we cut and start again please?" No, sorry Whitney, we can't start again. For those of you who don't know what Burger Rings are, they are a burger-flavoured Australian and New Zealand snack food distributed by the Twisties corporation but owned by its parent company The Smith's Snackfood Company (which is in turn owned by PepsiCo) in Australia and Bluebird Foods Limited in New Zealand. And I can tell you it would look really stupid if you were to wear one on your finger.
