Now for something completely different: World Stupidity Awards

Revolt · Jul 23, 2005

Contenders include USA, Canada, Iran, North Korea.

The two countries are going head-to-head for top honours at the World Stupidity Awards, where doofuses get their due. "This is a year where Canada could do very well and, as a Canadian, I'm very excited," enthused Albert Nerenberg, of the Main Organization Revealing Obvious Numbskulls, which organizes the event at the Just for Laughs comedy festival.

"The Canadian government has been nominated in the dumbest government of the year category and this is one year where we feel we've got a chance." Canada will be vying against the United States, Iran, North Korea and the United Nations for that particular Oscar of idiocy crown.

Bush dominated last year's awards, taking the stupidest man prize and the award for reckless endangerment of the planet. Nerenberg admitted the organizers do limit the number of categories featuring the controversial Texan.

"He would essentially be nominated in every category had we not interfered," Nerenberg said. "We want to give other people a chance. We just feel some of the other great stupidity in the world would go unrecognized if Mr. Bush was allowed to run rampant. But he is doing very well."

Have you seen that bitch's hands?

If there is a missing link between Ape & Man, it was her dad. Last time I saw hands like that, they were picking ticks off the Alpha Male chimp at the OKC zoo.

More like that skittery spider thing that impregnated John Hurt's character in Alien.*

That observation is not original to me, but I can't remember the source.

Besides Bush and Kuchma, contenders for stupidest man include U.S. Senator John Kerry, ...

Black said Kerry was a natural for nomination.

"He should be. What are the chances of finding someone who could actually lose to Bush? I mean, you almost had to search. The Democratic party should have been nominated too."

Naw, if they nominated the Dems, too, it would have split the vote.

Kerry wins this time.
