The "chk chk boom" girl Clare Werbeloff says her fake witness account of a shooting in Sydney was meant to be a harmless bit of fun.The 19-year-old has admitted that her eye witness account of a "fat wog" shooting a "skinny wog" was a lie, but she told A Current Affair last night that she had no regrets."It's been the biggest week of my life," she said."I've had fun and I didn't mean anything by it. It's just a bit of fun, so it will be a good story for the grandkids.""Aussies love to muck around with each other. They love jokes and I just thought Australia would get it."Watch Clare's description of the shootingMs Werbeloff said she saw a television camera in the street in the early hours of May 17, and ran to it.She positioned herself in front of the camera and said: "There were these two wogs fighting. The fatter wog said to the skinnier wog: 'Oi bro, you slept with my cousin.' And the other one said: 'Nah man, I didn't for shit, eh', and the other one goes: 'I will call on my fully sick boys, eh.' And then pulled out a gun and went 'chk chk boom'."Ms Werbeloff has apologised for any offence caused by her use of the word "wog", but said her generation "don't really take offence to it any more".In the wake of her politically incorrect television interview, Ms Weberloff hired a PR firm to deal with the scores of requests for media interviews.On one day she received 85 requests from news organisations around the world. Her now infamous interview has even been mentioned in Federal Parliament.Yesterday Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese compared Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull to the "chk chk boom" girl."Last week, Clare Werbeloff shot to international fame after she went to extraordinary lengths to get herself in front of the camera ... to get that few minutes of fame," he said."But unfortunately when you look for the substance it wasn't there ... just like the Leader of the Opposition."More weird news ...
