But in the savage world of the security guard, punishment is immediate, violent and brutal. WITHOUT MERCY, THE WOMAN IS BEATEN WITH BELTS, ROPES, A BROOM AND EVEN A RUBBER HAMMER. ]]> Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:38:13 -0400 http://www.wtfnews.org/out-of-this-world/south-african-granny-accused-of-theft-is-beaten-up/ http://www.wtfnews.org/general/proposal-turns-into-washout/ We're going to come out and say it now; this is one hell of an epic fail. It's that moment when the perfect plan comes to fruition only for nature (or God) to say "na uh, not on my watch buddy". Matthew Hartman was down on one knee, just at the point of proposing to his girlfriend Lis, when a giant wave rushed in from the ocean and swept the couple completely off their feet. Luckily for us there was someone filming the whole thing. Matthew had started th... ]]> Mon, 11 Mar 2013 07:15:48 -0400 http://www.wtfnews.org/general/proposal-turns-into-washout/ http://www.wtfnews.org/out-of-this-world/guy-pushes-his-girlfriend-off-cliff/ Sometimes boyfriends do shitty things, but shoving a girlfriend off a cliff might literally be pushing it to the edge. In the latest film by adventurer and videographer Devin Graham (who we might add is one of the gnarliest videographers around), he caught the moment where boyfriend Creighton Baird encouraged, and then pushed, his girlfriend off a cliff. Apparently it took Creighton 45 minutes to convince his girlfriend Jessica Powell to take a 400ft rope swing ... ]]> Mon, 04 Mar 2013 07:31:21 -0500 http://www.wtfnews.org/out-of-this-world/guy-pushes-his-girlfriend-off-cliff/ http://www.wtfnews.org/nature/polar-bear-comes-close-to-cameraman/ When Gordon Buchanan was sent off to film polar bears in Svalbard for the BBC he probably didn't think he'd get so close to the action. However, one starving polar bear had other things on its mind as it tried to make a meal of the filmmaker, and it was all caught on camera. The only thing stopping the 500kg animal was a "bombproof" Perspex box, and it certainly seemed up to the job. Gordon, who has filmed the one of the world's deadliest creatures for 20 ... ]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:11:29 -0500 http://www.wtfnews.org/nature/polar-bear-comes-close-to-cameraman/ http://www.wtfnews.org/general/ufo-caught-on-video-at-cardwell-in-north-queensland/ A TINY town in north Queensland is on full UFO alert following sightings of strange lights in the night sky. Cardwell businessman Greg Smith said he and his son watched the lights for 15 minutes and are convinced that what they saw was some sort of UFO. "This was a couple of months ago. I used to be the world's biggest sceptic about this stuff, but I'll tell you what, this really rattled me and my son,'' he told The Townsville Bulletin. Mr Smi... ]]> Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:09:31 -0500 http://www.wtfnews.org/general/ufo-caught-on-video-at-cardwell-in-north-queensland/ http://www.wtfnews.org/general/boy-plays-with-beaver/ This little boy has learnt from a very young age that beavers make you happy in life, very very happy. Little Ryan was at Oregon Zoo in the United States with his mum when he started waving at a beaver. Nothing in that apart from the fact that the beaver starts waving back. With mum giggling as she films, boy and beaver keep up their contact, no doubt becoming the best of friends. Both parties are cramped up close against the glass divider, and both could seemingly ... ]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2012 06:24:02 -0500 http://www.wtfnews.org/general/boy-plays-with-beaver/ http://www.wtfnews.org/entertainment/towns-rude-christmas-lights-go-viral/ A spoof video of rude Christmas lights in Brighton is causing a stir online after going viral on YouTube.

'Milking' is set to be the new 'planking' judging by the clips of men pouring four-pint containers of milk over themselves across Newcastle. Students and graduates are shown 'milking' themselves outside pubs, in busy roundabouts, in a tree and in the middle of the road. Tom Morris, 22, was behind the video which ha... ]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:31:34 -0500 http://www.wtfnews.org/entertainment/students-go-milking-in-new-internet-craze/ http://www.wtfnews.org/science-technology/video-game-addict-from-thailand-found-dead-at-his-computer/ A GAMING addict died at his computer after a string of marathon all-night sessions, police said today.

It shows one-year old Romeo Elvis Bulte flip, scissor-kick and roundhouse a dragon soft toy in his dad's backgarden.
