"Man chokes to death on cupcakes"

While we love cupcakes and find them to be a source of happiness, sometimes bad things happen with cupcakes, such as in this case:

"Man chokes to death on cupcakes," The Age

A man choked to death after gorging on cupcakes at a nightclub party in South Wales.

Adam Deeley, 34, collapsed after he began choking when five cupcakes got stuck in his throat.

Fellow revellers and nightclub staff tried to revive him, but were unable to clear his airways.

Deeley and a group of friends decided to stage a cupcake eating competition at the end of a party on Friday after discovering leftover buffet food.

"Quite a spread had been laid on and when the party finished there was quite a lot left over," one guest told The Sun newspaper.

"Someone suggested seeing how quickly they could eat the mound of fairy cakes that were left. But suddenly someone started choking."

No matter how much you love cupcakes, stuffing five in your mouth at a time was always going to be a bad idea.

Oh God! Downer! Perhaps you should include a disclaimer somewhere.

Perhaps you should have sent a basket to George Bush...
