Kids Are Dumb

Why in God’s name would you ever play a game where you would choke somebody until the pass out? Are people just idiots? Apparently.

The French Are Idiots

The French gripe about not getting respect and they are constantly made fun of, but when they do stupid crap like this, it’s hard to take them seriously.

France’s interior minister called it “scandalous.” The Figaro newspaper called it ridiculous. But the bottom line, four days after gendarmes at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle International Airport planted explosives in an unsuspecting passenger’s suitcase, was that nobody knew where the explosives had gone.

“We hope the person who finds this will take it to the local authorities,” said a spokesman for the gendarmerie, France’s national police, who planted the mobile-phone-size lump of plastic explosives as part of an exercise to train bomb-sniffing dogs.

Thanks Barney for the tip.

Another Local Moron Crook

It’s amazing to me that people could really, truly, be this dumb:

A transient dressed in black was spotted by neighbors pushing a wheelbarrow full of loot from a home in the Old Town neighborhood. He abandoned the goods a block away — along with clothes, his wallet (with ID), a handgun and his pickup truck — then ran from police, only to stop and call 911 to report his pickup and wallet were stolen, officers said.

So he runs away, calls police about his stolen truck, and waits for police so he can help them fill out a stolen vehicle report. The police had long since found the guy’s wallet and ID, and the arrest was pretty quick after they showed up for the call. Idiot.

I Smell A Darwin Award

This man should get nominated.

A Washington state man who placed a lava lamp on a hot stove died when the lamp exploded and a glass shard pierced his heart, police said on Tuesday.

[…]

(He) was probably standing in front of the lamp when it exploded, then stumbled into his bedroom and died, (the police spokesman) said, citing a medical examiner’s report.

Can’t We Make Alabama Secede?

Please?

An Alabama lawmaker who sought to ban gay marriages now wants to ban novels with gay characters from public libraries, including university libraries.

A bill by Rep. Gerald Allen, R-Cottondale, would prohibit the use of public funds for “the purchase of textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.” Allen said he filed the bill to protect children from the “homosexual agenda.”

Nascar Fans Are Idiots

What Not To Do With A Teenage Daughter

If you’re going to teach your 16-year-old daughter a lesson about drinking after she came home drunk one night, make sure you get rid of your stash of crack and firearms before you call the police on her.

That’s Going To Sting

Superglue + condoms + your penis = trip to the hospital.

If You’re Going To Get Drunk and Rowdy…

…don’t do it on a plane full of rugby players. Idiot.

Moron Crook For The Day

Not only is he a moron crook, but he’s local, too!

A Redmond police officer gave his own “Stupid Criminal of the Year Award” to a 39-year-old transient who thought he could burglarize a gas station/fast-food restaurant by climbing onto the roof and sliding into the deep fryer’s grease vent. He got stuck, and covered head to toe in grease for his troubles.

The only reason he managed to get out alive is because some folks walking down the street overheard the moron screaming from inside the vent.

The best part? He not only was taken to the Deschutes County Jail, facing charges of second-degree burglary, second-degree criminal mischief and possession of burglar’s tools and being held on $10,000 bail, but he probably lost his job — he worked at the store he was trying to break into.
