GOLDEN AGE" OF STUPIDITY PROCLAIMED
Vice President Dick Cheney has a shot; Britney Spears did it again; and President George W. Bush gets his own category!
Middle East lands Lifetime Achievement Award
Proclaiming this is a "golden age of human stupidity," organizers announce the much-anticipated 4th annual World Stupidity Awards.
"The Romans had coliseums; the Egyptians had pyramids, and we have stupidity," said official World Stupidity Awards Spokesmoron, Robert Spence. "With all that we know today, the fact that we can rush into wars, destroy our planet, and act like complete idiots; and then, be proud of it, shows we're in an era of Super Stupidity."
The World Stupidity Awards, which is conducted every year, salutes achievement in stupidity and ignorance. The 4th annual World Stupidity Awards is organized by ARSE - The Academy Recognizing Stupidity Everywhere - in tandem with Disinformation, a New York based publisher and distributor.
The awards are decided by worldwide Internet vote. People can vote online at www.stupidityawards.com.
This year the organizers have introduced several new awards to reflect the times; including the Stupidity Award for Being Most out of Touch with Reality and The Stupidity Award for Making an Already Stupid Situation Stupider.
"The World Stupidity Awards is about recognizing greatness in stupidity," said Spence. "And we thought the special ability to take a situation that is already very stupid and make it even dumber, is what separates the amateurs from the professionals."
Nominees for this award include actor Mel Gibson for offering to urinate on the floor after being arrested for drunk driving, and Britney Spears for almost dropping her baby for photographers after driving recklessly with him.
The organizers also added a category named the Stupidest Statement by President George W. Bush - various statements by the President will compete against each other to see which will be deemed the stupidest. President Bush was given his own category after voters complained that Bush's presence was unfair to the other nominees
Other notable nominees include the former head of FEMA Michael Brown in the Stupidest Man of the Year category; Vice President Dick Cheney could be recognized for having helped create the Stupidest Moment of the Year when he shot a friend in the face. Mr. Gibson is also a nominee for the Stupidest Statement of the Year category - after he was arrested recently for drunk driving, he allegedly told a female police sergeant: "What do you think you're looking at sugar tits?"
Finally, the organizers, after sifting through long lists of worthy nominees, have decided that this year's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for Stupidity will be going to the Middle East itself.
"It is strange to be giving the award to a territory rather than an individual, but this part of the world has created enough stupidity for many lifetimes," said Spence.
Voting begins August 15th, and the winners will be revealed on September 20th.
The World Stupidity Awards was originally inspired by the hit documentary Stupidity, the first film to deal directly with the subject of human stupidity.
Nominees for the World Stupidity Awards are decided by a group of experts in the field, "a bunch of idiots," said Spence.
The motto of the World Stupidity Awards is: "We're all stupid. Some of us need to have it pointed out."
