Drunk men all over the world are making headlines this week in bizarre events that rival the “Hangover” films.

For starters, 21-year-old Joshua D. Shelton accidentally killed 70,000 chickens after flicking a switch and shutting down power for a chicken farm in Maryland.

Shelton stumbled to the farm after a night of heavy drinking at a nearby concert, making history as the single greatest mistake made while intoxicated.

Across the globe, a night of drinking turned out differently for a North Korean man who woke up with brand new citizenship.

The absurdly drunk man floated on a piece of wood to South Korea and was picked up by police wearing nothing but his underwear. The South Korean government has offered him citizenship since they rarely force people back over the border.

If only there were a swat team of ninjas in black spandex to jump up behind his seat and set him straight.

Well our dreams have come true at the Prince Charles Cinema in the U.K. Donning morphsuits, a team of volunteer ninjas hide in dark crevices of the theater, waiting to pounce at the first sign of a cellphone’s blue glow.

We can only hope that the cinema ninja movement makes its way across the Atlantic.
