It is going to be hard to pick out the biggest dummy. But that’s why we have help from you readers. In 2009, Simply Dumb will open its inaugural class in the Hall of Lame.

But we’re certainly not limiting it to stories we’ve covered. You can nominate celebrities that just don’t get how privileged they are, athletes who ran the wrong way for a touchdown, or any of the numerous …read more

Have you ever encountered something or someone so utterly dumb the achievement should be honored? We agree. Dummies do so much to enrich our lives by providing sterling examples of how not to behave.
We think Simply Dumb is not sufficiently complete without an establishment to enshrine those who prove time and again that there is no cure for the human condition. We’ll be telling you more as we finalize the details. And rest assured this will be interactive.We’re seeking nominations from our readers in addition to the ones Becky and I will be bringing forth. Dummies, keep being dumb …read more

It’s perhaps the most important issue facing our nation today and sadly it has gone unreported by much of the national media and ignored in the current presidential campaign.
It’s the pressing (or unpressed) issue of saggy pants. The debate erupted again on our comment boards here.  As reported by SOHH, Palm Beach Circuit Court Judge Paul Moyle has declared that state’s law against sagging pants unconstitutional. His lifting the ban comes a week after a teenager spent a night in jail for his sagging pants.
Cities including Dallas and Atlanta are discussing banning sagging pants and Dallas officials have even …read more

Simply Dumb has bowed to the ever-increasing pressure of social media and joined Facebook. Please run over, join and be our friends. We’re not needy or anything. But we did bake you a pie so you’ll like us. Right now, we’re busy doing your laundry. And we won’t judge you for having the Spongebob Squarepants undergarments, we swear.
What’s that, you say? Restraining order? Now that’s a little harsh. Although not the first time it’s been discussed. Really, we just wanted Gallagher’s autograph. Is that so wrong?

Wait, that’s not what we meant to say. We mean that Simply Dumb has a new category aptly titled, “Gas Is Too Freakin’ High.” We want to hear about any crazy gas stories from your neck of the woods. Did somebody (not you of course) do something really ignorant in the pursuit of saving gas?
We’re going to be keeping our eye on crazy gas shenanigans all summer long as gas continues to be a more valuable commodity than solid gold. But don’t think we just want gas. I mean gas news. Let us know about any stupidity we haven’t …read more

Now that I’m getting the hang of things around here, I’ll introduce myself. My name is Becky Scott. I’m a writer, editor, and photographer living in San Diego, California. Also? A consummate smart-aleck.
I’m originally from southern Missouri, so I have a special interest in all of the dumb things that originate in the South. We’ve decided that most of them either start with a dare or “Hey y’all, watch this!”
We enjoy our readers, so don’t be afraid to say hello or just chat in the comments. If you see something interesting, or would like to hear our take on something, …read more

My name is Humpty, pronounced with an Umpty… no, not really. For some reason I’ve always wanted to say that and I can’t do it at Simply Dumb, where could I?
My actual name is Brian Allen, I’m a writer (You’re probably relieved by that fact, since you’re reading my work) and standup comic based in Cedar Hill, TX. That’s just south of Dallas. As a journalist it’s come to my attention there’s a great deal of dumb stuff going on in the world. If humankind is devolving around us out there, we should at least have a record of …read more
