Dumb and Dumber

Is society getting more and more stupid?

On the evidence of the following newspaper clippings, it certainly seems so.

Man Accidentally Sues Himself

man sues himself

Under Funded

Let’s Be Civil

Hide & Seek

Thanks For The Reminder

What Are The Chances?

You Can’t Be Serious!

Ouch

Leave a comment with any dumb stories or experiences you have had.

For example, I was on holiday once, and upon our return to the villa, my dad (David) was greeted with the question: “Who is it David?”.

I blame television.

    Wow Dean!

    These are some pretty amazing headlines. Does this mean that logic isn’t needed in our headlines? lol

    I hope their not all from the same paper!!?

    Hilarious. That underfunded headline is great. Sounds like the small town school funding problems we’re going through. :)

    Counterpoint: had you stumbled upon them reading the actual paper, would you have read been more inclined the article or not? You know, “Wow, they’re looking for civil war planes? They had those?”

    I got these two from Paul Myers…

    “Satan Sidelined with Laryngitis” (Buffalo News)

    “Sabers Renounce Satan” (ESPN)

    Paul

    PS: Both refer to then-forward Miroslav Satan (pronounced SHUH-tan)…

    Society gets dumber by design. I blame mommy, to start with. Hey, you try building good brains with the clown food she’s eating! Then there’s birth, and Pink Floyd nailed it: “Just a little pinprick…you may feel a little sick.” And you may get a little dumber - Dr. Tim O’Shea talks to that in his book, The Sanctity of Human Blood : Vaccination i$ Not Immunization

    Then there’s the rest of life. Edukashun (Pink Floyd again) in the public fool system, indoctrinations into countless hobgoblins of the mind… You’ve got to be darn lucky to come out OK like a Dean Hunt.

    I guess we’re all a little stupid Dean. But some people
    can’t figure it out.

    Keep up the crazy $hit on your blog and all you do to help us internet marketers.

    Peace to Everyone,

    Mark

    These headlines belong on Jay Leno. Print them and send them in Dean.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    These are *too* funny for Jay Leno. Don’t let him see them!
