In a significant change of tone, today is about one particular man, John Telewa, a 28-year-old Kenyan, who has a dream. This dream is to kiss one million women and to get his name in the Guinness Book of World Records.

| John Telewa |
It started when he went to a party, kissed a woman, and put the picture on facebook. His friends commented, asking who she was, if she was his girlfriend, so he responded by putting another picture of him kissing a different woman on facebook. It seems that the rest is history, as he is now known as the "Kissing Bandit," and has kissed over 600 women so far. Part of his goal is to also invent a "Kenyan kiss," since "the French kiss is so famous." He has told reporters that the GBWR has given him a patent code so he will be in the books if he succeeds. That said, to get to a million, he'd have to kiss 600 women every day for almost five years, so he'd better get crackin'.
Random Kate Thoughts: My initial reaction was he better not have oral herpes, cuz otherwise a million women are in a lot of trouble... but in reading articles about him, it seems that he is well-intentioned. He gets in trouble with boyfriends and husbands, but never kisses a women under 16 or without her consent. He's probably a little sleazy, and he certainly will get much more approval than if a woman were trying to kiss a million men (slut v. stud double standard, argh patriarchy), but maybe this quote of his says it all: "I'm just doing what I love."
