What The World Is Full Of As one of my favorite road songs, (and you know what I mean by road songs, right?  Songs that sound infinitely better when played on a long stretch of highway.), "Banditos" by a now defunct band called The Refreshments, has the wisdom to declare in the chorus that "Everybody knows the world is full of stupid people," which I find with each passing day that truer words have never been sung.  Except maybe "doo wah ditty," but that's on a whole other level. Take for instance the guy who leads police on a chase, and then decides to celebrate the moment by smoking some crack. Or the churchgoers who thought they were just being good citizens when asked to be perverts by a cop.  Not once.  Not twice.  For eighteen years. Or the guy calling himself "C-Murder" and goes out at committs one.  Why not just change the name to "C-U-L8-TOR-Dumbass"? Or people who eat fried oreos.  Or get naked in banks.  Or rob the same store that they just got out of prison for robbing.  Or become arsonists to avoid sex. Yet many of these people have found ways to reproduce and guarantee future generations of the incredibly stupid.  Some of them smoke, too, which is a sheer sign of complete stupidity (Become addicted to a plant?  Have obnoxious breath?  Prematurely age my skin?  Slowly kill myself?  Sign me up!!).  But whatever happened to the whole "survival of the fittest idea"?  Shouldn't that also include intelligence?  When do these people get weeded out?  Only good thing is that often times these folks are great entertainment for the rest of us.  Related links: Stupid People:  Dumb and Dumber in real life The Darwin Awards 9:20:53 PM     |
