S is for Stupid

Stupid. Some people are just plain stupid. Let me clarify. Some people's actions are plain stupid. When you look to what is in the news today, people are just stupid.

For example, the three men in Australia who went out for a weekend of fun, somehow ended up with a penguin from Sea World in their possession. After a night of drunken fun, they didn't know how the animal got there. WOW. Really!?! Well at least the penguin was unharmed and safely returned. But that was just stupid. The recent developments involving the Secret Service men and Columbian prostitutes. How in the world are men who are supposed to be guarding the leader of the Free World caught hanging out with prostitutes on the job? OMG. And one of the agents even posted a questionable Facebook comment about Sarah Palin and "checking her out" on the job!!! STUPID. I mean I would never post anything about my job on FB good, bad or otherwise. How STUPID can you be?

I mentioned this before in a previous post, but the Maryland fast-food worker who claimed to be one of the winners of the Mega-Millions jackpot. So, this lady claimed to have won the prize solo, even though she was in charge of a office pool. Then after outrage from her now former co-workers and heat from the media, she claimed to have lost the winning ticket. STUPID! Didn't this woman know that the real winners would step forward and claim the prize. That's exactly what happened too. The Three Amigos are three happy friends indeed.

The point of this post is: please try not to be stupid. I know it's easier said than done. But really people, lately in the news, a lot of stupid stuff has been happening. In the age of social media, blogging, cellphone cameras and twitter, anything you said and do will be reported and held against you!
