mirror mirror on the wall, who's the silliest of them all?
Just found out about the World Stupidity Awards 2005... With categories like "Stupidest Man of the Year", "Stupidest Statement of the Year" and "Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet", it's no surprise which big name world leader is heading the list of nominations.

To quote:

Bush dominated last year's awards, taking the stupidest man prize and the award for reckless endangerment of the planet. Nerenberg admitted the organizers do limit the number of categories featuring the controversial Texan.

"He would essentially be nominated in every category had we not interfered," Nerenberg said. "We want to give other people a chance. We just feel some of the other great stupidity in the world would go unrecognized if Mr. Bush was allowed to run rampant. But he is doing very well."

Lewis Black, the award show's host, agreed about Bush's contender status.

"He's always a big one and it just gets worse every day with him," said Black, the biting commentator on TV's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. "His stupidity is almost on a Hall of Fame level."

Nominations and voting are done on the World Stupidity Awards Internet site and Nerenberg said it's not easy to make the cut.

"People usually nominate their exes so we eliminate those first of all," he said. "You can't just show you've done a few stupid things in your life. You have to show some dedication, that you're a professional."

Who will win the coveted "Oscars of Idiocy" and get the recognition they deserve for stunning achievements in global stupidity and ignorance? Check out the official site for the full list of nominees. If i'm not wrong, it's too late to vote since the awards show was scheduled for July 22nd...tonight! Heck. It's still a fun read. =)

The Motto of the Academy:
The Academy believes that everybody is stupid, some
people just need to have it pointed out.
