August 21st, 2008 Morons in the News no Comments

I’m not sure who the bigger moron in this Raleigh, North Carolina household is–the 16-year old kid who dropped out of school to focus on Guitar Hero, or the parents for letting him do so because they “couldn’t take the complaining any more.”

“We couldn’t take the complaining anymore,” Peebles’ mother Hunter told the News & Observer. “He always told me he thought school was a waste of time.”

Oh, well, if he thinks that school is a waste of time, but playing video games is a good use of time, clearly he must be the one to trust on such a decision, right?  At least they are making sure he’s home schooled.

But hey, at least he’s won some chicken sandwiches with his “talent.”

And who knows, maybe some day he can learn how to actually play a real guitar.

Seriously–are kids today getting dumber?

I realize it isn’t really something to joke about–it’s good that the morons got caught.  But how they got caught is just amazingly stupid.

A pit bull named Booger… Cloned puppies… Mormon missionary sex slave… Miss Wyoming USA… Really bad fake identity…

I don’t even begin to know where to start with this one.  Go ahead and read it for yourself. At least she’s now admitting it (she originally said it wasn’t, and threatened to sue anyone who published that it was).

Somehow, it made the ‘Entertainment News’ section on Yahoo–Paris Hilton memorized her lines for the spoof ad that was posted on Funny or Die this week.  I’m gonna go ahead and say that the video falls more on the ‘Die’ side than the Funny side.  And the fact that her memorizing her lines makes news is almost as dumb as I heard a story on the news today talk about who “produced” the video (or the fact that it was even made).

At least they had the good sense to not pay her for her “work” in the video.

A man in Florida was recently arrested and charged with making false calls to 911–for reporting that a slot machine at the casino took his money.

Sadly, it wasn’t even the stupidist 911 call of the week–even in Florida.  One man was earlier cited for calling 911 a total of five times, trying to get the police to settle an argument with his brother. 

And probably the crowning moron called 911 to complain that his local Subway left the spicy sauce off his Italian sandwich.
