Moron Crook For The Day

This has to be the dumbest teenager I’ve ever seen (and I’ll put emphasis on the really idiotic part):

A teenage boy accidentally set himself on fire early Wednesday morning after allegedly trying to siphon gas from a firefighter’s car.

[…]

Police were called to the hospital to investigate the incident and later learned that the 17-year-old spilled gas on his pants while siphoning gas. He then used a lighter to try to determine how wet his pants were and set himself of fire.

What a nit wit. I hope this guy never breeds.

Did Anybody Else Get The Jim Smolich Motors Spam?

I was looking through an old Yahoo! mail account that I keep around just for kicks and in case I ever need it, and found that I had been spammed by a local car dealership. That link is the Web-based version of the spam, that has a functional video and form, but the e-mail I got was actually just a bunch of large GIF files (as you can’t really easily embed videos and forms in email and expect it to work) pulled from this page and this page (just change the 01.gif to 02, 03, etc.. .gif).

I can’t honestly remember being outright spammed by a local business before (except for bendnights.com, who tried to spam the COBlogs mailing list, though they do run a good site), has anybody else? Most of the mail I get from local businesses are from folks I’ve dealt with or I have requested information from before, but I’ve never been to Jim Smolich in my life (and now probably won’t even more because of this kind of crap).

I hate even mentioning them, as it’ll get them more publicity, but I’d rather it be known that they spam.

Some People Need A Hobby

Like this guy, who was attempting to spend his entire Spring Break in a Wal-Mart. He lasted 41 hours. And now because of his stunt, he’s famous.

At least he could tell some good stories afterwards. <pretending to be anti-Wal-Mart>The thing is, though, because of Wal-Mart’s labor practices, we all know that there are probably employees that were there the entire time he was, trying to feed their family on their minimum wage jobs.</pretending to be anti-Wal-Mart>

Thanks Cheryl for the tip.

Idiot Crook For The Day

If you’re going to try to pass off fake money, I’d recommend trying something other than a billion-dollar bill. Thanks Dave for the link.

Barry Bonds Is Screwed

He’s so going to get banned from baseball (or at least the hall of fame) for this.

AOL and Yahoo Are Idiots

I can not believe that these idiots are considering making folks pay to send e-mail to their servers. I could see AOL thinking up something stupid like this, but Yahoo!? They have at least a little bit of geek street creed.

Thankfully, the EFF is on the case.

Parenting At Its Finest

This is really sad

A woman got a 30-day jail sentence for leaving her three young children home alone for several hours while she and her boyfriend attended a videotaping of “The Jerry Springer Show.”

[…]

The two girls and one boy, all under the age of 4, have been placed in foster homes by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Police said Cook left the children alone at a suburban home Oct. 19 while she and her boyfriend went to Chicago for the taping. About five hours later, the two oldest knocked on the door of a neighbor, who called police.

All I can say is I’m glad that the kids have been taken away from these morons.

Idiot Crook For The Day

If you’re going to print counterfeit bills on your printer, solve printer jams yourself and don’t send the thing out for repair still loaded with fakes (yes, I know the link’s over a month old — I’m a bit back logged on my flagged links).

People Do Stupid Things

Like this nitwit (mirror) who manages to light his pubic hair on fire (not safe for work, obviously). Why (how?) you would do something like this, I have no idea. Link via b3ta.

Japanese Gangsters Caused Hurricane Katrina

Yeah, that’s the ticket.
