The Idiot Awards (part 6)

A wise man once said, "If you make it idiot proof, someone will just make a better idiot!"

Judging by some of the idiots featured in this week's blog post he was right, because this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog hosts the sixth edition of the Idiot Awards.

1) Pizza idiot

The first idiot award goes not to whoever wrote the message on this pizza box, but for whoever needed such a message.

"Open box before eating pizza."

If you could eat the pizza without opening the box, that would be pretty impressive!

The Idiot Awards (part 5)

Since my last batch of Idiot Awards, there have been many more idiots deserving of recognition for their services towards idiocy.

Here are just a few of the most deserving cases...

1) Surprise Pregnancy

To start things off, surely this couple must be the stupidest people alive, and thoroughly deserving of an Idiot Award. I mean, surely her large pregnant belly should have been a little bit of a clue?

Woman with pregnant belly takes a pregnancy test.

I love the look of extreme surprise on their faces!

The Idiot Awards (part 4)

The world is full of idiots, seemingly more so than ever nowadays, and here at the Charles Fudgemuffin blog we like to recognise those idiots for their outstanding acts of idiocy. With that in mind, here are five more examples that are thoroughly deserving of an Idiot Award.

1) Ill-advised architect

The first Idiot Award goes to the architect* who designed this bizarre building:

* Or team of architects.

It's a typically weird and flamboyant building that modern building designers seem quite keen on nowadays. However, imagine the following scenario...

The Idiot Awards (part 3)

It's time for another batch of Idiot Awards! This week's winners include arts councils, survey creators, and to start things off a foolish journalist who has a strange concept of equality.

1) "Pioneers of gender equality"

Throughout history there have been many notable woman who have fought for women's rights such as Emmeline Pankhurst (founder of the Suffragette movement), and Alice Paul (who campaigned for the 19th Amendment). However, according to one journalist at The Economist, we should add the Aztecs to that list of notable women's rights activists.

What did the Aztecs do to further women's rights, I hear you ask? Well, they practised human sacrifice, and as 'pioneers of gender equality', they sacrificed not only men ... but woman as well!

Seriously, I'm not joking! Archaeologists discovered that the Aztecs sacrified both men and women and this journalists immediate reaction was, 'Wow! What pioneers of gender equality! They killed women as well! Great work for equal rights!'

Pioneers of gender equality.

It's no wonder the media are seen as a joke these days, and the journalist responsible for this idiotic report thoroughly deserves inclusion in this week's Idiot Awards.

The Idiot Awards! (part 2)

A few months ago, the Charles Fudgemuffin blog recognised excellence in the field of idiocy with the Idiots Awards. However, there are many more idiots worthy of recognition, so here's another batch of 'winners'...

1) Choose your age

In perhaps the craziest news story of the decade, a 69 year old wanted to legally change his age to 49 because he identifies as a 49 year old.

Seriously, the world has gone mad. If we can now choose what we want to identify as, then I would like to identify as a millionaire, so presumably my bank will now let me withdraw loads of money from my account?

Thankfully, common sense prevailed and he lost his case, but the fact that this was even a thing is a sad reflection on the level of lunacy in the world nowadays.

The Idiot Awards!

This week sees the start of a new feature on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog ... the Idiot Awards! Not that any explanation is needed, but the Idiot Awards officially recognise excellence in the field of idiocy!

Earth.
Home to numerous idiots.

Here are the first batch of winners...

1) Law abiding criminals

To start things off, this week's first Idiot Award goes to Geoffrey Vos who proposed that the government should introduce a new law to force people to carry a mobile phone that was permanently switched on, because this would make it easier to track and catch criminals.

Yes, of course it would, Geoffrey, because criminals would definitely follow the law, wouldn't they?

Oh, hang on ... I think I've spotted one tiny flaw in Geoffrey's logic, which I've highlighted with the following conversation between two hypothetical criminals...
