The "Moron of the Week" Thread

I'm happy to have been replaced so quickly this week: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05/17/oops-virginia-congressional-candidate-leaves-porn-tabs-open-on-facebook-post.html?intcmp=hpbt3

Cliffs: If you have a candidate Facebook page, don't use it to search porn.

No updates in a while. Pretty much everyone here qualifies: road raging idiots cause pileup

I saw a guy who I gave a 50/50 chance of surviving the next 15 minutes yesterday at noon, because he had stopped at the end of an entrance ramp onto the freeway, right beside a sound wall, with a half width shoulder, to change a flat tire. I considered dialing 911 and suggesting they send a car.

I didn't hear about a horrible collision, so I guess he dodged the bullet.

Quick memo to whoever is currently running the "This is the Canada Revenue Agency! Call us back immediately to avoid criminal charges!" phone scam: don't ask people to call back to a Miami area code. You're just embarrassing yourself. Even somebody who would send money to a Nigerian prince is too smart to fall for that.

Time for another update:  What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

And that article is now the number one hit when someone googles her name.  Probably will be until she dies.  People need to understand that the internet is FOREVER.

In reply to KyAllroad :

I guess the flip side is, "the screwdriver was to start my van" (as opposed to "I was planning to stab my husband to death") wasn't too bad of an off the cuff explanation for someone 2x the legal limit. 

In reply to kazoospec :

Is it wrong that my first thought was well I betcha she'd be a fun night. 

Is it bad that i thought "hell, shes kinda cute?"

Also, i wonder how many of the scratches and bite marks are from assault?

In reply to Stampie :

I'm guessing husband and/or "other dude" had the same thought at some point.  

I'm just sayin' . . . 

It's a fine line between a good time and run over by a Caravan

TL:DR Lady wins group lottery, divorces without telling husband why, two years later now ex-husband finds out and sues, judge gives him every single penny of winnings.

It's ancient news.  Better is that she also lost on appeal.  http://www.metnews.com/articles/ross0625.htm?hc_location=ufi

The jokes write themselves on this one: Man robbing hot dog stand shoots himself in the wiener

I'm not gonna lie, I think the writer of the article left meat on the bone on this one.

Credit Wall-e for finding this one.

Long time, no updates.  This is just too stupid to not be acknowledged.  Woman kills boyfriend. Shocked a book didn't stop .50 cal pistol round.

Only 180 days? If she was secretly a calculating killer, that would be an excellent way to murder a stupid person and only get a slap on the wrist for it.

In reply to kazoospec :

Well that was really, really dumb.  From the failure to test the shot beforehand to the idiotic sentencing (jailtime spread out over 3 years??!) to the THIRTY people gathered to witness the "stunt" who didn't stop these drooling idiots.  At least they bred (twice) before he died so their moron genes will have a chance to perpetuate.  Cheese and flippin rice people, stupid is becoming an epidemic. 

30 people were in attendance watching? So thirty people showed up and said "Yeah, this will most likely work."

In reply to kazoospec :

I remember when that happened. I think the line was "We just wanted to be famous"

That's one the problems with the way Youtube's recommendation functions works. Start with something simple and the recommendation algorithm keeps generating more and more extreme videos to keep you watching. So it actually rewards you with that sweet sweet ad revenue for doing stupid E36 M3.

And that's how we ended up with the Paul brothers and these idiots. I'm about ready for a nuclear winter every time I read about "youtube stars"

Yes, it was astonishingly dumb. And I can't believe that nobody stopped them. But I also don't think people are any dumber now than they have been at any point in history, we just hear about it more quickly now.

I feel terrible for the kids.

Today's entry:  dumb criminals are dumb

Cliff's: parolee answers the door to the cops with an ounce of meth in his hand.

Maybe the audience knew them and figured however it wound up they weren’t really losing much.

I still laugh every time I read this.

Super troopers nab pooper super. (At least, that's what the headline should have read)

At least they'll have lush green grass on the field, thanks to his 'special blend organic fertilizer'.
