Hello, and welcome to the first This Week in Stupid, where I seek out news featuring unbelievably stupid people doing unbelievably stupid things. And boy, did I pick a great week to start with.
First off, we’ve got a story out of the Netherlands, where a 21-year old Dutch man is now recovering from a disastrous mooning accident.
This moron and two of his friends decided it would be funny to flash some pressed hams against a large restaurant window and moon the occupants trying to enjoy a nice dinner. But karma intervened, and the glass shattered against the heavy Dutchman’s rump, slicing said pressed ham up like so much deli meat. This is the worst group booty-exposing backfire since that guy in Braveheart caught an arrow in the ass during that mooning scene.
Now, people, normally, a person outgrows pranks like mooning around the time they hit puberty, except for periods of regression fueled by copious amounts of alcohol, which is quite likely a factor in this case; if not, then this goes beyond moronic to a special place of pathetic. Come on now, if you’re gonna do something so stupid and immature, you deserve what you get.
Stupid Level – 6
The AP reported earlier this week that a man in Tokyo discovered a homeless woman had been living in his closet for almost a year, and he only became suspicious when food started disappearing from his refrigerator. Apparently, the woman had also taken showers and had moved a mattress into the closet. He finally installed cameras, which caught the squatter.
Alright, I’m calling bs on this story. You don’t have a squatter in your house for a year before you go, “You know, something weird’s going on here”! I think this guy knew what was happening, knew she was there, but held out to get his fifteen minutes. How oblivious can he have been? Did he think he had really big rats with opposable thumbs or something? There’s more to this story than what’s being told. This whole thing is just stupid.
Stupid Level – 3 if he’s playing dumb
8 if he really is that dumb
How could we have a round-up of stupid stories if we didn’t include something about everyone’s favorite raving anti-videogames crusader, Jack Thompson?
Apparently, Thompson isn’t just getting disbarred in Florida for his history of gross misconduct, which includes harassment, provoking people, and sending obscene images to judges, to scratch the surface. The Florida Bar rules would let Thompson reapply for his license in a year or two, but they want to block him from trying for at least ten years. Thompson walked out on his hearing, claiming the judge had no authority to over his case, and then released yet ANOTHER ranting objection, once again claiming he has been right the whole time. Oh, and he called the Florida Bar fascists. Okay, he probably made a few blunders, but I’m sure it won’t hurt this modern day Columbo’s chances of winning, will it?
Stupid Level – 10 – It’s Jack Thompson. How could it be anything else?
If you’ve got any amazing stories of epic-level stupid, send them our way, and they may just get featured in this column.
