NO WONDER this guy can't find love.

An American photographer who made headlines for his brash requirements for the perfect girlfriend has done it again, but this time he's taken aim at women, homosexuals and black people in a series of inflammatory tweets that's quickly given him the reputation as the world's worst wedding photographer - and potentially the world's worst human.

Overnight, Larry Busby, aka Romeo Rose, posted a series of rants describing rape as a "womens (sic) fantasy" and that they "put themselves in that position then whine about it later".

Prepare yourself.

And it didn't end there.

************

It's no surprise that not soon after, the Twitterverse began to react. Yet he refused to admit he was a troll and a racist.

His account was suspended at approximately 11:30am AEST, but he posted on his Facebook page soon after: "just because you get a acct (sic) suspended or removed does not mean you will ever change the way I think or shut me up from voicing my opinions".

He returned under the Twitter handle @SleeplessNATX, describing himself as a "living legend & icon", but Twitter was quick to react and the profile has already been suspended.

He also made the shock announcement that he would be running for Mayor of Austin, Texas, at the next election, claiming he'll "get rid of all hippys (sic), liberals, potheads, blacks, gays and feminists".

But considering he doesn't have enough money to pay for his electricity bill, we have a feeling pigs will fly before he reaches the dizzying heights of politics.

That's karma for you.

You are way dirtier than you think you are

BACTERIA and faecal matter. They're everywhere.

It doesn't matter how many times you wash your hands, launder your clothes or clean your bathroom. You're probably still covered in them.

The Huffington Post has put together a list of disgusting facts that show you why your hygiene habits "are way worse than you think".

Washing your clothes doesn't get them clean

University of Arizona research found that washing one load of underwear can transfer 100 million E. coli into the water, and into the next load you do.

Microbiology professor Charles Gerba, who conducted the research, told ABC: "There's about a tenth of a gram of poop in the average pair of underwear."

To combat the problem make sure you take your laundry out of the machine as soon as its finished, or bacteria will multiply in the dark, damp conditions.

Washing dishes is disgusting

The kitchen sink is less hygienic than a toilet bowl, according to Eileen Abruzzo, the director of infection control at Long Island College Hospital of Brooklyn. Dirty plates and soaking pots are the perfect breeding ground for E. coli and salmonella.

There could be faeces on your toothbrush

Flushing a toilet without closing the lid causes faecal matter to fly into the air. Dr Gerba compared it to "the Fourth of July" fireworks, The Atlantic reported. And the particles can travel up to 1.8 metres, which is bad news if your toothbrush is in range.

There is no such thing as the "five second rule"

Clemson University researchers found that food picks up 99 per cent of bacteria are soon as it hits the ground. "The five-second rule probably should become the zero-second rule," says Dr. Roy M. Gulick, chief of the division of infectious diseases at Weill Cornell Medical College. Carpets and wet floors harbour more bacteria than hard floors. Salty and sugary foods take longer to pick up bacteria.
