Simply Dumb

Admit it. When you get a package with bubble wrap in it, you or one of your family members takes the wrap and pops all of the bubbles. What, you don’t do that? Man, people in our family fight over the bubble wrap!
And for those people, a New York City man designed the perfect calendar. It’s a poster-sized calendar with a bubble for each day of the year. Just make sure you don’t pop them all on the first day, or you won’t have much to look forward to!
Apparently he’s already sold thousands of the calendars, which range in …read more

Nebraska recently passed a new law, which local news outlets dutifully covered. Apparently feeling officers is now a felony. Wow, that’s a pretty strong sexual harassment law isn’t it?
Oh, wait. Running from the cops? Ah, you mean fleeing cops! Now it makes more sense. Ah, those crazy proofreaders. Thanks for providing a chuckle for us!
(Apparently someone must’ve caught the error or a reader told them about it, because the article link is no longer working.)

Joan Krupa is a Republican candidate for the Illinois House of Representatives 92nd District. Joanna Krupa is a Playboy cover girl and former “Juggy” dancer on the Man Show.
Joan would like potential voters to know she has never been a Playboy model and Joanna – well, she’s getting a lot of unexpected extra publicity from this political race. The Peoria Journal-Star reports that even the candidate is confused, as she told the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce the model’s name is spelled with two P’s. No, it’s actually spelled with a single P just like Joan’s …read more

The Boston group, Banditos Misteriosos, likes to bring wackiness to its home town. In the form of strange pranks.
Recently, they staged a war battle on a Boston esplanade. With squirt guns. People saw the blue and red uniforms gathering and were intrigued. They waited to see what would happen.
And happen it did. Ten long minutes of brutal squirt gun antics ensued. People dripping wet, hairdos ruined. Cats and dogs living together. Uh, wait. Where was I?
The Banditos Misteriosos has been staging elaborate and crazy escapades in Boston since last December. Most notable: a pillow fight in the middle of downtown …read more

Oh, I know you think you have us pegged at Simply Dumb. You think we’re all about the funny, sneering down our bloggy noses at all we survey. But we got heart, baby. And sometimes, just sometimes, a story comes across that gets us right there. This, my friends, is such a tale.
CNN tells us that a woman in England’s county of Gloucestershire has been reunited with a garden gnome that vanished from her lawn seven months ago. Eve Stuart-Kelso thought her beloved gnome, Murphy, was the victim of simple vandalism. Imagine her surprise when she came outside and found …read more

Times must be really bad for the celebrity sex tape industry. Back in the day, celebs like Pam Anderson were all the rage. The most talked about sex tape these days involves 2-foot-8 Austin Powers series star Verne Troyer.
E News Online tells us Troyer is having problems copyrighting his sex tape with former girlfriend Ranae Shrider. Apparently he needs to find a copy of the tape to be able to copyright and Shrider has been less than helpful. If Troyer can get the copyright,he can at least try to halt its distribution. Boy, does Simply Dumb wish him luck in …read more

Being fortunate enough to work from home, I’ll admit I see my fair share of soap operas. None of them approach the real life drama playing out in Green Bay, where ESPN is reporting the Green Bay Packers will pay Brett Favre $20 million to not let the door hit him where the Good Lord split him.
It’s a public relations nightmare for the Packers, who are taking a beating for not letting Favre follow up one of the best seasons of his career. This debacle makes the way San Francisco kicked Joe Montana to the curb look like Love Story …read more

Let’s face it, it’s hard enough to get people to listen to political speeches. For a guaranteed way to get no one to listen, hold it during the largest video game event of the year.
Texas Governor Rick Perry delivered the keynote address Thursday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the event at which game manufacturers reveal their most anticipated games of the year. Game Politics says that most years, the keynote speech takes place as the kickoff for the event. Y’ know, to stop people from playing Gears of War 2 long enough to listen.
But in an unfortunate scheduling …read more

A Charlie the Tuna sculpture in Charleston, Oregon was dismembered by the two men who stole it after they feared they would be caught. The 8-foot Monterey cypress sculpture that used to greet tourists is now in pieces.
The two men stole Charlie as a prank. They planned to leave him in a random place in town so he could be returned unharmed. But when police started investigating, they panicked and tried to remove Charlie from his hiding place. He wouldn’t fit in their truck, though. So they cut him up. With chain saws. So they could move him. That’s not …read more

Far be it from us to advocate con artistry, but some people deserve what they get. Like women who sign up for Millionaire Match, a web site that purports to match quality singles with: you guessed it.
Rich and apparently desperate people sign up for this as well as smart homeless guys. The Associated Press reports Paul Kreuger set up a profile on this site and swindled 13 women out of $100,000. He posed as a Grammy-award nominated producer but was actually homeless. The laptop computer he used to run this scam was his only possession, according to police …read more
