Sometimes getting banned from a game is more fun than playing it.

Such is the unsaid thesis behind a group of folks trying to get kicked off the child-friendly game Club Penguin.

The game's great at barring users who say stuff like "fuck," "shit" and "ass" on its servers, so you can get barred pretty quick. One person managed to do it in 39 seconds, as you can see in the video above.

This person is the apparent world-record holder in getting banned from Club Penguin. Such records exist. Second best currently sits at 41 seconds and, if you wanna make the podium, you'll have to do faster than 42 seconds. The top nine are all under a minute.

You, too, can get banned. Just follow the rules and give it a shot. The game is soon to be replaced with a newer version, so now's your chance, if you're into creating a lot of usernames.
