Stupid News

It seems like every time you turn on the TV you hear about something so stupid it makes you stop and think to yourself, “Thank God I’m not that stupid.” The news is full of stories about idiots doing inconceivably foolish things, from botched burglaries to on-air blunders, people just can’t seem to control their behavior.

There are a lot of weird news stories that come out every day, and at ImStupid.org we try our best to keep up. On this page, you can find all the stupid news that’s fit to print, and some that probably isn’t!

Here we go, people! We had some ridiculously stupid ideas sent our way and now the blue ribbon is up for grabs. If you submitted an idea that is not included among the finalists, please do not worry: this only means that your suggestion was too clever, intelligent, complicated, or genius for us. We only wanted really dumb ideas. So please, no harassment if your idea wasn’t quite bad enough to make the cut.

Without further ado, let’s get down to the real question on everyone’s minds: What is the stupidest shirt in the world? Here are the six finalists that made it into the judging round, in no particular order:

This Shirt Costs $500 T-Shirt

Maybe someone will actually believe you, and think you’re a jerk for bragging about it. But most likely, people will just assume you’re the type of guy who likes to wear ironic t-shirts.

Being Stupid Is No Excuse For Ignorance T-Shirt

Alternately, “being ignorant is no excuse for stupidity” might be apt as well. No telling how this could play out in a public settings – directionless angst can stir up quite a storm with folks who are easily upset.

I’m With Stupid T-Shirt (Omni-directional)

Here’s another vaguely insulting idea. Then again, if the entire world is stupid, then the real question is what value does the term “stupid” truly hold? Probably not much. But maybe that’s getting a little too philosophical.

I Might Be Stupid But I Have A Great Sense Of Humor T-Shirt

This one is just barely stupid enough to make the cut. Some might find it clever, but then again, those people would be very foolish indeed. Only a complete moron could have thought this up.

Shirt (Smeared) On My Chest

Taking a dive into the steaming cesspool of vulgarity, this idea embodies what we would prefer to describe as a visually-reinforced pun. Wear it to a job interview and see what happens!

Stupidity Is A State Of Mind Shirt

Never has any statement been truer. But what is “mind,” exactly? There we go getting philosophical again.

To vote on your pick for the stupidest shirt of all time, please send an email to contact@imstupid.org with the subject as “THE STUPIDEST SHIRT,” and in the message body, make sure to list the title of the shirt you are voting for.

**UPDATE** The contest is over! And the winner is…..

Shirt (Smeared) On My Chest

Thanks for stopping by I’m Stupid, the official “I’m Stupid” organization!

I'm Stupid ShirtUnfortunately, ImStupid.org was not able to recruit any new members during our official launch on November 6th, 2012. We believe that this failure is due to the fact that none of our T-shirts were quite dumb enough, and hence were not properly equipped to appeal to full-blown idiots. To better hone the focus of our brand, we have embarked on a new project.

ImStupid.org presents:
A Tournament Of Ideas!
(The Quest For The Stupidest Shirt In The World)

From now until November 20th, we will begin accepting nominations for the stupidest shirt in existence. To nominate a shirt, please send your image, idea, or concept to contact@imstupid.org. If your concept is chosen as the winner, you will receive 1 free copy of your design on a T-shirt of your size & color preference (assuming the design is not already copyrighted). We will also be wracking our brains to come up with the worst possible ideas for designs that we can, and the finalists from our own collection as well as those submitted by our audience will be published on November 20th. Then the contest will be open to one week of judging, when you will be able to vote on the stupidest shirt of the bunch.

Without further ado, let’s get cracking on those dumb ideas! How many hilarious T-shirt concepts we can muster up?

Confederate Flag Tough GuyAn 18-year-old man was arrested by police in Virginia for brandishing a firearm at elementary school students, because they had been making disparaging comments about a confederate flag on his truck. Now, if that’s not the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard, you must be familiar with some extremely idiotic things!

Joshua P. Dalton was reportedly in his pickup truck, stopped behind an elementary school bus that was unloading children, when the incident occurred, according to police. It is not clear what the kids said to Dalton, but it was about the confederate flag displayed on his truck. After Dalton reportedly drew his gun, two of the students involved returned to the bus and told the bus driver there was a man aiming a gun at the bus. The bus driver brought them back onboard, returned them to the school, and called the police.

Dalton is charged with two counts of brandishing a firearm. A female passenger accompanying Dalton was not charged.

When will people stop acting stupid? Maybe never.

Utility CrewIn Bridgeport, Connecticut, there have been reports of citizens throwing eggs and other objects at utility crews who were trying to restore power after Hurricane Sandy, FoxNews.com reported.

After Bridgeport’s mayor declared that the power company had “shortchanged” the city, angry residents reportedly verbally abused utility crews who were working to fix the power grid. The shouting soon escalated into throwing eggs and other objects.

A spokesman for the utility company said “It started to get hairy. They did not feel safe. We communicated with the city and said if you don’t provide police support, we can’t have our crews there in harm’s way.”

Really? How could anyone think it was the utility crews’ fault, even if the company they worked for had failed to be fully prepared to respond to the storm?
