Sure.
Kamelschönheitswettbewerb versinkt in Chaos, nachdem 20 Teilnehmer wegen Höckervergrößerungsinjektionen disqualifiziert werden
I gotcha covered.
Das Kamelpageant was gekhaoshurlt mit 20 stabbenplumpen humpercheaters en fucktoff told.
ELI5:
In a ‘beauty’ pageant with camels as the contestants, officials discovered 20 entrants had injected their camels in the hump with a substance that would make the hump look plumper and better-shaped, with the intent to score higher in the competition. This is against the rules, so those people were disqualified for cheating.
This is unexpected because although many types of banned performance enhancement are common in human beauty and sports competitions, you might never anticipate it would happen in animal competitions, nor imagine the ‘ideal’ shape of a camel’s hump could be such an intense aspect of competition that you’d even want to try.
Apparently camel pageants find camel humps more pleasing when they’re plump.
No honesty in this world.
Judges used advanced technology to uncover tampering with camels
