Again the time has arrived to discuss the idiots among us in the civilized world we live in. LikeI have before, I once again bring you a few stories of complete morons; the "Dumbasses" if you will:
LONDON - It was when a topless woman appeared on screen speaking Italian that devout Christians Alan and Anne Leigh-Browne realised the Doris Day film they had bought might have been wrongly packaged.
The elderly British couple urged the supermarket where they bought the DVD purporting to be "The Pajama Game", the 1957 romantic comedy starring the wholesome US actress, to investigate what went wrong.
"Our biggest concern with the whole episode was that small children could easily have bought the film and been exposed to its content," Alan Leigh-Brown, 67, said on Thursday.
The retired doctor, a regular with his wife at their local Baptist church, had bought the bargain-bin film, sealed in plastic wrapping from a Safeway supermarket in Taunton, southwest England.
Settling down to watch it, the Leigh-Brownes found themselves instead faced with a raunchy sex title called "Tettore che Passione", or Breasts of Passion.
"We are big fans of Doris Day and were looking forward to the film, but we knew something was amiss when a warning flashed up on the screen advising under 18s not to carry on watching," Mr Leigh-Browne said.
"Then some topless young women appeared and started talking in Italian, we were horrified, it's not what you expect from a Doris Day film.
"It was a pretty raunchy, explicit film, it certainly pulled no punches. My wife and I were very shocked
but we watched it until the end because we couldn't believe what we were seeing.
"The film became progressively more graphic, there was no plot to it, it was just sex." A spokesman for the supermarket urged the couple to return the DVD so the matter could be investigated.
were they truly "horrified" or were they aroused? they did watch it till the end. way to tell the world about your porn-addiction, doctor!ATHENS - A bus driver shuttling pupils to school in northern Greece shocked their parents when he put on a porn tape, officials said on Thursday.
The incident on Tuesday in the town of Kilkis prompted dozens of complaints by parents who have asked the bus company to fire him.
"The driver said 'kids we've got porn, do you want to watch it'," one of the pupils told reporters.
"Everyone started shouting yes, yes and he just put in a tape and we watched it on the small TV screens on the bus."
The children were aged 12 to 15.
The bus company will meet on Friday to decide what action to take against the driver, local government officials said.
perhaps they watched it till the end too, just to make sure there was no mistake. did he truly think he would keep his job with a stunt like that?NEW YORK - A National Guard F-16 fighter plane mistakenly fired off 25 rounds of ammunition at the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School in South New Jersey on Wednesday night.
The pilot was meant to fire the rounds some 3 1/2 miles away at a military target range, Lt. Col. Roberta Niedt of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs told reporters in the Jersey shore township's police headquarters.
No one was injured as school was out and a lone custodian was inside the building when the bullets hit.
Damage was minimal as the non-exploding, 20 millimeter bullets left only puncture marks in the school's roof and the asphalt outside the building.
The fighter jet was part of the 113th Wing, District of Columbia Air National Guard assigned to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
An investigation is being conducted into how the pilot mistook the school, located on Frog Pond Road, for a target range.
3 and 1/2 miles away!!!????! did he just disregard the basketball court or not see it?NEILLSVILLE, Wis. - A 63-year-old man is charged with sexual gratification with an animal for allegedly having sex with calves.
Harold G. Hart, of Neillsville, allegedly told police that he routinely stopped at a Greenwood farm, usually after bar closing or on trips to strip clubs near Marshfield or Neillsville.
A criminal complaint filed in Clark County Circuit Court said the farm's owners installed a motion detector on Jan. 22 after regularly seeing footprints and vehicle tracks on their land. Around 4 a.m. the next morning, a sensor sounded and Hart was caught leaving the barn, but Hart allegedly said he just used a bathroom in the barn and had never been there before.
Hart told police he had sex with heifers before he went into the service in 1963 and resumed about a year ago at the farm. He admitted to using a rope to tie calves around the neck and estimated he had been to the farm "at least 50 times," according to the complaint.
He told police he never had sex with animals while maintaining a relationship with his a girlfriend or his wife, the complaint said.
Hart also is charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of obstructing an officer. Each charge carries up to nine months in jail.
Hart is scheduled to appear in court March 10.
last time it was an African man with a chicken. but he killed himself from the shame. perhaps this is a cry for help. MOVIN ON UP though. just a way for americans to show that they rule! "chicken? ppfffffffffffffftt! try a calf!"MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A masked robber who beat his victim was remorseful enough to take the man to the hospital for treatment, but his change of heart didn't last long. Within hours the thief was telephoning threats to the victim, who was an acquaintance, authorities said.
The attack happened Monday, according to a report to the Shelby County sheriff by victim Hollis Studdard.
Studdard was in his garage when he was struck from behind several times with a tree branch.
He then grabbed the limb from his assailant, hit him back and recognized his attacker.
"I know it's you, Michael," he told the robber, who pulled off his ski mask and apologized, according to police reports.
"I didn't mean for this to happen," the attacker said. "You were supposed to get knocked out and I was going to take your wallet and truck."
Studdard declined to give up his pickup keys.
"You're bleeding," the robber said. "I'm going to drive you to the hospital."
He took Studdard to Baptist Memorial Hospital, gave Studdard the truck keys and walked away.
The sheriff departments in Shelby and Fayette counties are now looking for the robber, who later phoned threats to the victim's home.
lordy lordy lordyTAIPEI - A man leaped into a lion's den at the Taipei Zoo on Wednesday to try to convert the king of beasts to Christianity, but was bitten in the leg for his efforts.
"Jesus will save you!" the 46-year-old man shouted at two African lions lounging under a tree a few meters away.
"Come bite me!" he said with both hands raised, television footage showed.
One of the lions, a large male with a shaggy mane, bit the man in his right leg before zoo workers drove it off with water hoses and tranquilizer guns.
Newspapers said that the lions had been fed earlier in the day, otherwise the man might have been more seriously hurt ... or worse.
Jehovah's witnesses have got nothing on him!And finally, from the homeland, the latest idiot:LUCKNOW, India- An Indian teenager from one of the country's most backward states appears to have fooled governments, the media and even the president into believing he had topped the world in a NASA science exam.
In a country hungry for international recognition, 17-year-old Saurabh Singh was feted as a national hero after announcing he had won NASA's International Scientist Discovery examination, which he said he took at Oxford University.
The Uttar Pradesh state government rewarded him with a 500,000 rupee ($11,500) prize and more than 100 members of the state's upper house each donated a day's salary to him.
But as he was at the president's official residence awaiting an audience during the week, his story unraveled.
An Indian news portal, rediff.com, contacted NASA, which denied any knowledge of the exam.
"Right now, no one knows where this examination comes from," Rediff quoted NASA education official Dwayne Brown saying.
A meeting planned with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was hastily called off and the boy returned to his village of Narhai, where he is now under police investigation.
Singh had also said President Abdul Kalam and Indian astronaut Kalpana Chawla, who died in the Columbia shuttle explosion in 2003, had sat the test. Kalam's office denies this.
Singh insists he met Kalam, although some Indian newspapers say the meeting was canceled as he waited to go in.
"It was really inspiring," Singh told Reuters by phone. "And let me tell you, he saw my certificate and praised me for the achievement, while you all are asking all kinds of questions and trying to dub me as a fraud."
The certificate, a copy of which was obtained by Reuters, declared "You are the member of NASA" (sic) and is signed by Singh and "Chief of NASA, Cin K. Kif" -- NASA's former administrator was Sean O'Keefe. It also lists the name of Singh's father, common practice in Indian documents.
Singh says he flew to London on Indian Airlines -- which does not fly to the city -- and took a taxi to Oxford University and back every day for the exam from January 4-8, a round trip of about 230 km (140 miles).
Singh told Reuters he stayed in a hotel, but told a Hindi language newspaper he stayed at Buckingham Palace.
The Indian school where he says he sat the preliminary exam along with 200,000 others does not exist. The Bansal institute, where he says he studied mathematics, has never heard of him.
Singh cannot produce his passport to back his claim. That, he says, is with institute director P.K. Bansal.
this guy just took it too far. you know he's the type that would try to change a "D" on his paper to an "A" when in fact a "B" would have been so much easier.well folks, that does it for another installment of Dumbasses, tune in again where this sitewill be full of more useless antics.
