"There is more stupidity that hydrogen in the Universe"
Frank Zappa
You know when you hear those stories, the ones that you can't believe that people are THAT stupid. You think, wow, that cant be topped? But it always does. Stupidity seems to know no bounds.
I saw a snippet of the local news last night (something that I consciously try to avoid.). One of the suburbs is following suite with a few other cities and installing cameras at redlights to try and stem the tide of moron red light runners. Then the story shifted to the "does this invade your privacy" slant. They then interviewed a parade of slack jawed yokels (apologies to Matt Groening) who went on about "the violation of constitutional rights. Then came the topper. An overweight lady in her mid thirties actually made this statement:
"Sometimes I run late for work and need to run a red lite or two so I'm not late"
Really. That was said. I'm not exaggerating. Please by all means, take a chance of killing a family of five because you can't drag your fat ass outta bed on time. Wouldn't wanna invade your privacy now would we.
Amazing. But the sad thing, is, it will be topped.
