Thailand Kissing Record: Couples Lock Lips For 36 Hours (VIDEO)

Seven determined couples locked lips for more than 36 hours to celebrate Valentine's Day in Pattaya, Thailand, a beach resort town, a landmark "kissathon" that organizers claim marked the longest recorded smooch in history.

The previous record -- 32 hours, 7 minutes and 14 seconds -- was set in 2009 by a couple in Germany, according to Guinness World Records.

Fourteen mostly Thai pairs entered the contest when it kicked off Sunday morning at 6 a.m. local time. By Monday afternoon, half were still puckering up on the white-marble corridor a shopping mall, where tourists gawked and smiled at the spectacle, snapping pictures with glowing mobile phones behind a red rope.

Human beings do the stoopidest things! What are these people trying to prove? A lot of people are simply less worthy than horse manure!

If it was French kissing, I would be more impressed. "Morning Breath" isn't such a factor, when you just touch lips.

Isn't it really just 36 hours of having your lips pressed against someone else's? I mean somebody probably had to burp at some point...
