Guinness World Record (GWR) has reacted to a video of a
Cameroonian man attempting to set a record for the longest crying marathon.
Tembu Daniel Ebere, who embarked on a “100-hour nonstop
crying spree” on July 9, recently revealed that he went “partially blind” for
45 minutes during his attempt.
Ebere, better known as Town Cryer, said he also suffered
swollen face and puffed eyes.
The comedian added that he had to “restrategise and reduce
my wailing”.
“I had headaches, a
swollen face, went partially blind for 45 minutes and had puffed eyes,” he told
BBC.
“I had to restrategise and reduce my wailing.”
On his Instastory, he wrote: “It’s not been easy. Was really
blind for hours. God saved me. But we must reach 100hrs”.
Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn't ever monitor a record for the longest marathon crying.

But on Wednesday, the GWR dissociated itself from Town
Cryer’s quest. The British reference book added that it “would not ever monitor
the longest marathon crying”.
“Just to quell some recent rumours, we wouldn’t ever monitor
a record for the longest marathon crying,” GWR wrote.
“Here’s what can be monitored by our team.”
Last month, GWR issued a short statement to people
attempting to break world records.
The British reference book would later warn people to do
away with the “unnecessary” record-a-thons.
