edited November 2008 in General
Just see a picture of a dummy getting owned by himself? Just see Darwin's "survival of the smartest" in action? Well, let's have a thread to honor all of those stupid people out there.

I'll kick us off with this:

    This thread is going to make me shudder a lot, isn't it?

    Oh God, I did something like that guy in the first video while drunk. We piled into a friends car and did doughnuts in the carpark hanging out of the doors, which were of course wide open.

    Except me. I was laying spread-eagle on the bonnet, and inevitably went flying off and rolled quite a distance. I was right as rain though.

    Eh, I don't know, both of those people weren't doing anything THAT stupid. The first guy maybe, but the skateboard guy? It just wasn't his night. I wouldn't call either of them stupid. Then again, when I see people get hurt, my first reaction is to feel bad for them, not laugh at them. I have a feeling I'm going to stay away from this thread if the stunts get any worse, lol. I'm alright with jackass, but watching people seriously seriously injure themselves is not my cup of tea!

    EDIT: that was more in response to Queen's post, thank god you didn't get run over Bruce! That would have been horrible

    I laugh not at them getting hurt, but at what their actions say about them. For example, the first guy was an idiot because he was overconfident and inattentive, and the second guy was an idiot because he couldn't control his anger at an inanimate object.

    Do not watch Dirty Sanchez then. It's like the British Jackass but easily 100x worse. In one episode one of the crew gets liposuction and they force another to drink the bottle of fat. In another still, one cuts the tip of his finger off with a cigar cutter.

    (Thanks, btw :D)

    Yep. And just watching these things make you go "What were they thinking?"

    People stomp on broken skateboards all the time. That guy wasn't really stupid, it was just a one in a million shot. However, filling a cantaloupe with gasoline, lighting it, and then hitting it with a baseball bat, is pure stupidity.

    Because putting something that is on fire in your mouth is always a good idea.

    ...I'm sure some things seem like a better idea when you're very drunk.

    Wow, that's worse than the other two. I mean, the previous two guys might have been idiots, but they weren't trying to light themselves on fire, it just happened.
