Probably not the dumbest ever but pretty close.
At this other message board I post, there was a discussion about video rental stores back in the day. This one poster wrote that one time his father rented a movie he ended up not liking. When he returned the tape, he demanded his money back.
Entitled much?
A video store cannot be held responsible for the supposedly "bad" quality of a movie. Nobody was forcing him to rent the film. If he was so eager to complain, he should've contacted the director of the movie, or the studio, lol.
A client blamed me (and reported me to my mentor) for there not being any footage of the controversial Prime Monster Hendrik Verwoerd's 1966 assassination in Parliament 😳😳
The election of the most vile, immoral, and downright ignorant, man in America to run the most powerful country on the planet- Donald Trump.
I think the people who believe this was a smart move are complete, total, MORONS.
I had a friend who didn't like spicy food, so he couldn't understand that other people did. He believed Indian people didn't actually like their own food and were pretending to like it for some reason.
Basically his entire belief system was urban legends and nativist cope.
when I was a kid there was some graffiti on a wall in town that said "I'M THINK".
the general consensus was that whoever did it had meant to put "I'M THICK" (as in stupid) but couldn't even spell it right.

I mean, that does sound like quite a controversial role? :smile:
In high school this girl named Andrea told the teacher we couldn't have famines in America because we have grocery stores.

Indeed, Verwoerd was a monster. Someone tried to kill him in 1960 too 😳😳

hopefully I wasn't the only little kid in the world who, on observing my parents buying stuff, thought shopkeepers gave out 'change' randomly... like that was just something that happened whenever you bought things from a shop... you got given a bit of change. wonder how much chamge they'll decide to give this time?! :)

As a kid I thought I could experience the moment of falling asleep by staying awake with my eyes closed. Not only does it not make sense, but I also tried several times.
haha, yeah 'logic' at that age is a strange thing...
- Some random guy I got talking to once, told me the reason he was visiting the area was "to celebrate my dad's death".
he meant 'commemorate'... (and he said it twice as well)
^ Mebbe he didn't like his Dad? :question:
A former lecturer told me to take my book as is and feed it into an AI program.
I can't say what I told him but it wasn't "thank you kindly" 😳😳

or maybe he was just a bit think.
Just ignore them & they'll stop.....
The Tartarian Empire. This makes Graham Hancock look sensible.
Honorable Mention is Stephen Fry's advice on what to say if a bully is hitting you:
"Please stop, you're giving me an erection."
Some of the candidates at the DNC vice chair election.....
And who they elected...
I would appreciate it if everyone would shut the f**k up about politics.

I get that a lot: people should realize that not everyone eats and enjoys the same food.
I had a cousin who built an electric motorcycle for pro racing...
I was trying to pitch the story to the electric car freaks at WRIR, & mentioned the potential top speed...
Somebody asked, "Why would anybody wanna go that fast?"
the AC/DC lyric:
"I'm gonna be a rock'n'roll star... Yes I are!"
the Mobb Deep lyric:
"Fee - Fi - Fo - Fum... I smell the blood of a jealous ass punk"
Hmm.
"What I am is what I am is what you are... or what.
I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know, if ya know what I mean
Shove... me.. in.. the.. shallow water. Before I get too deep."
that one is just cosmically cosmic, for sure...
up there with:
"What if God were one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Nobody calling on the phone
Exept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome."
...mind = blown

Psst, it's "...
choke me in the shallow water ..."
Now it makes complete sense, right?

To be fair, the song seems to be about a stupid person who is proud of being stupid. So the lyrics should be kind of stupid, right?
This lyric always annoyed me:
"You make me feel like a candy apple
All red and horny." (Paula Cole)
Are apples, candy or otherwise, known for being horny?
"They came and took my brother away; the men in white picked him up yesterday
But they'll never come and take me away, because I'm OK - I'm normal!"
There was some business man a couple months ago that wrote an article about how you should just use Amazon instead of using local libraries.

I tried that with Project Gutenberg 20yrs ago...
I wound up printing out the book I wanted to read...
