slappy3500 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I remember seeing news footage of a group of nitwit football players who re-created the "lay down in the middle of the street on the white dividing line at night" from "The Program". The reporter asked one of these future brain surgeons why they did it. He replied "Well, I wouldn't do it AGAIN." Gee all it took was witnessing the painful death of a team mate to convince him that this was not too bright! Another group of geniuses were the girls who decided to re-enact the coke bottle rape scene from "Born Innocent" on a poor girl in the shower of the locker room. Anyone else recall news stories about folks too clueless to be allowed to watch anything more intense than "Sunrise Sermon"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinemetal Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Personally, I love reading/hearing stories of schmucks who remove themselves from the gene pool by doing incredibly stupid ****. Social Darwinism at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappy3500 Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Yes, Ive always thought that child-proof caps were terrible too. The kid who drinks the bottle of Drano doesn't get to reproduce others like himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansi4 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Slappy that might be a bit harsh, don't you think? What do most kids know at an early age about poisons that may harm them. I'm all for child proof caps since too many children died when such precaution wasn't taken. Mongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappy3500 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Just a joke. BTW in actual fact, according to a study I read recently, childproof caps, lighters,etc, DON'T prevent accidents. Due to child-proofing, parents have relaxed their vigilence about such things and the rate of occurence as well as the fatality rate have remained almost exactly UNCHANGED. The only thing childproof caps do is keep grandma from getting her aspirin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicsfan1119 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 You got that right, Slappy. My Pharmacist has a standing order not to use those blessed caps on my prescriptions! Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicsfan1119 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 But, Mongo also makes a valid point...in that sometimes it's hard to tell what is intended as a joke and what isn't. I also heard on a program about AIDS this past a week ago (it was National AIDS Awareness Week) that because scientists have finally come up with medications to treat AIDS that it's on the rise again nationally because people have lost their fear about it for that reason. Too bad that they still don't get it that although it can be somewhat "treated" in some cases, the "cure" is still a long way away. Practicing "safe sex" is still critical for this reason.
