At Simply Dumb, we are all about athletic achievement. Oh, not the kind that folks ordinarily celebrate. No, we’re more into guys shooting into the wrong basket, running the wrong way and generally doing things that earn ridicule.
It’s not …read more

A newspaper based out of an Oklahoma town neglected to report the results of the recent presidential election. And some readers are none too happy about that. The Sapulpa Daily Herald decided not to cover the election, opting instead to mention a quick blurb about most of the county voting for McCain.
But no word about Barack Obama being president-elect.
Residents were upset about the omission, noting that national news was as important to them as local news. And I bet with an election this historic, one would expect even a small newspaper to mention something.
The newspaper insisted that their main focus …read more

My internet connection hates me right now. Up, down, on, off, some sites are okay, some aren’t. Others load quickly, while the ones I really need load like molasses.
So, how about an open thread on how stupid your internet is? You can talk about your connection and how it irritates you, or just the internet in general. What dumb things out there are really getting to you?

As if little girls aren’t already put under enough pressure to be cute enough or skinny enough or perfect enough, China has added to the fray. A 7-year-old Chinese girl with an amazing voice was deemed not good-looking enough to appear in the ceremony. So they used her voice, but replaced her with a 9-year-old.
This is one of a series of things China has done to try and make the Olympics as flawless as possible. Like shutting down protests. Shooing away migrant workers. Saying the smog is really just fog. And faking fireworks on the TV coverage.
But this has got …read more

No, we are really not joking here though we wish we were. Reuters reports that JetBlue, a company famous for providing passengers perks like free television and leather seats, is raising prices to cope with fuel costs.
The airline will no longer provide pillows free of charge and in fact will begin selling a pillow and blanket kit for $7. It’s OK though, because the pillow and blanket are extremely eco-friendly according to the airline.
The kit is made by CleanBrands LLC, and is supposedly “the world’s cleanest” due to its, wait for it, toxin-blocking fabric.  Well, gosh, I take everything …read more

Yahoo News reports officials in Grenada are concerned that tourists are pulling live starfish from island’s waters and using the animals to play fetch with their dogs.
Besides the process being considered cruel to the live animals, tourists are leaving the starfish on beaches to die causing a horrendous stench. Now we know starfish may look stiff and inanimate, but they are alive and that’s not cool.
After all, Keith Richards may not look like he’s alive but you wouldn’t let your dog fetch him. Unless of course, you wanted your dog to get really mellow, if you see what I’m …read more

Since she can’t give away one of her pop CD’s, Jessica Simpson figured she would try her hand at country music. So far the results are almost as good as her acting.
Wearing a costume not that much different from the one she played Daisy Duke in, Simpson played to boos at Wisconsin’s Country Thunder Festival. The Kenosha News reports that most fans who saw Simpson open for Sara Evans were very unimpressed.
Realizing she was losing the crowd, Simpson tried to establish her country cred by explaining she was just like the folks in the audience. She said she’s just a …read more

Headline: People Will Do Anything For a Buck. Especially, LIE. A woman in Wisconsin has been charged with a felony count of extortion after she (allegedly) planted a dead rat in her restaurant food. She then demanded $500,000 to keep quiet.
Imagine this: go into a high-falutin’ restaurant. Order some mega-expensive dish. “Find” a rat. That’s one sneaky woman. You know she snuck that thing into the restaurant in her purse.
She claimed to find the rat in her lunch when she at a fancy-pants place called Seasons Restaurant. So, she of course threatened to let the media know unless the restaurant …read more

Image details: Jose Canseco v Via Sikahema served by picapp.com
Former pro baseballer and current steroid snitch Jose Canseco got brutalized in his celebrity boxing debut Saturday night. Former NFL kicker Vai Sikahema, a Golden Gloves boxer before he began his football career, knocked Canseco out in 97 seconds.
Amazingly some 1,300 people crammed into a minor league baseball stadium to watch Canseco try to capture his former athletic glory. The former Bash Brother got $35,000 for embarrassing himself in this fashion but reportedly owes his former attorney more than $350,000.
Before getting his clock cleaned, Canseco bragged about his martial arts experience …read more
