Simply Dumb

This is just strange.  Why would someone try lure tourists by showing a video of a married man having sex with a younger woman?
This is what the bright folks in charge of promoting Lake Balaton in Budapest have done.  Check out the video here.  It show cartoon breasts and adult content.

Fancy sex on a fishing boat? Then visit the Lake Balaton resort, say Hungary’s authorities in a recently launched campaign aimed at attracting young people to its main lake resort.
The tourism authority is sending around an email with an internet link http://abalatoninyar.fw.hu/, leading viewers to a short cartoon film which …read more

I’m not really sure what these strange eye things are for but they do have the ability to recognize faces and voices.  I think it’s creepy as hell…
Here’s what the AP says about the picture:

Keiko Uchida, an employee of Japan’s Systec Akazawa, chats with a prototype of the eye-shaped communication robot MuuSocia in Tokyo. The robot, developed to help the elderly, recognizes human faces and voices and talks back to users. It’s expected to hit the market in 2007.

This is really stupid.  Why would someone pay $22,476 for a pair of old jeans?  I’m guessing the person who bought them cared less about the ratty pair of blue jeans and simply wanted to donate money to this good charity, but still.  I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than $60 on jeans…Maybe I’m just cheap, but lots of people seem to have expensive taste in jeans.  At the auction 17 pairs of celeb jeans were sold all for large price tags.  None came close to the X-Men star Hugh Jackman’s though.

I understand why this mail carrier is suing.  I would have a heart attack if I opened my mailbox to find a 6 foot snake.  Not a funny joke!

A man’s idea of a joke — putting a pet 6-foot boa constrictor in his mailbox to startle a mail carrier — could bring him time behind bars.
"It was an incredibly stupid practical joke that wasn’t funny," said James R. Mell, 31, an auto mechanic from the Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills.
Mell put the snake in his mailbox July 7, The Detroit News reported.
"I thought it was funny. Looking back on it, …read more

This guy is so funny!  He went on a quest to turn a paper clip into a house and actually managed to do it.  Sadly the house is in Kipling Saskatchewan.  Who would want to live there?  Anyway his story is hilarious.  Check it out:

Taking a paper clip and turning it into a house sounds like a cheesy magic trick or a phony instance of resourcefulness on the 1980s TV show "MacGyver."
Kyle MacDonald, however, has pulled it off.
One year ago, the 26-year-old blogger from Montreal set out to barter one red paper clip for something and that thing for something …read more

Don’t they have water shortage problems in Orange County?  I think that fireman should be punished.  Filling a pool with a fire hose is SO wrong!

An Orange County firefighter is under investigation for using a county tanker truck to fill up someone’s pool.  There were no fires in the backyard in question on Alison Daphne Court over the weekend, but Tanker 82 made a house call anyway.
The crew pulled the truck up to the fence, and used a hose to fill a pool.  The home’s owner, William Vazquez, also works for the county.  Fire department officials said public safety was …read more

I hate flashy ads and apparently one beer company might re think theirs after causing the evacuation of a resort.  What I don’t get is how the guy didn’t know it was an ad. I guess I’d have to see a picture of it to see just how dumb the employee who called the cops was, but sheesh, he must have been a bit embarrassed!

The beer ad attracted attention — but not in the way Pabst Blue Ribbon had intended.
A bartender called police because he thought a blinking red light was a bomb, resulting in the evacuation of 35 people …read more

This is a really funny annual contest that I think should really be made an Olympic sport. Wife carrying races are SO DUMB yet hilariously funny.  And the coveted prize for winning this silly race?  Your wife’s weight in beer.

Finishing upside down clinging to a man’s back may not be the most graceful way of winning gold, but it sure helped Sandra Kullas and Margo Uusorg to the world wife-carrying crown on Saturday.
The Estonians were among 40 pairs from eight countries who competed in the annual event in Sonkajarvi, in central Finland.
They raced along a 250-meter track, complete with pools …read more
