This Week on Ebay 7.1

This is my new favorite thing for sale on eBay:

It is a bright “red” (it looks pink to me?) flag for anyone to put on their car who has a bad habit of pulling out in front of people when they obviously can’t make it or it wasn’t their turn. With this bright sign saying you have the right of way, you will warn everybody with enough notice to slam on their brakes that you have no idea how to drive.

This is one of those that you really have to read the whole seller’s description to appreciate. It can be found here .

Do you know anybody who could benefit from one of these signs?

Are People Really This Uptight?

I was digging through some photos and forgot about this one I took down at Virgina Beach:

Apparently the sign is no joke - they fine you if they catch you swearing. Are they that uptight? Or just desperate for money?

Stupidity Wanted

Files under Everything Else | 6 Comments

It’s very strange. I’ve gone a whole week and not seen anything stupid. While it’s fun to see what stupid stuff I can find on the internet is available, I really like seeing stupidity in person.

We had a few opportunities this week where I thought FOR SURE we’d see something stupid…yet to our amazement, nothing stupid was to be seen. (I didn’t think this would even be possible to go this long without seeing something stupid!)

Since I can’t find anything stupid, I am asking you for your help. Take a picture of anything. I don’t care what it is. Find the stupidest thing you can, take a picture of it, and send it to me. As long as its not obscene or inappropriate or illegal and is your picture that you physically took yourself, I welcome anything sent to chelle165 [at] gmail [dot] com.

What could you take a picture of? I really don’t know. Surprise me. If it’s not stupid, that’s okay too, I’ll figure out a way to make it fit in here. If you’d rather draw something or photoshop something good, that’s perfectly welcome too.

Is there an incentive to send me a picture? Yup, my eternal gratitude and of course a post about what you sent me and a few links (whatever you want them to be) on my lowly PR 4 blog here crediting you for the picture. What more could you ask for? (No, you’re not allowed to ask for money!)

So who’s up for the challenge to find something stupid? Send it to me :)

Stupid Things To Say When People Die

Files under Everything Else | 4 Comments

As many of you have probably already heard or read, comedian George Carlin died last Sunday. I’m not any good at knowing what to say when people die, and since George Carlin thought most things most people would say are stupid anyway, I figured this video of him did it best :

You can read more about George Carlin’s death here. He was a funny, funny guy.

More Stupid and Funny Inventions

After writing my recent article for Associated Content on stupid inventions and to celebrate the article making the first page of google, I thought I would find a few more to add to my ever growing collection of stupid inventions for Best of Stupid. So here they are for you:

Stupid Invention#1: To-Do Tattoos

Remember when you used to write things on your hand with a pen? Well now you can write your list and tattoo it anywhere on your body with Fred To-do Tattoos. For $3.50 you can get 12 of these temporary tattoos to impress your friends.

Stupid Invention #2: Purple Moon Shoes

The sheer delight and glee of wearing these giant and clunky moon shoes is evident with this picture. The manufacturer describes these shoes as mini trampolines for your feet to help you experience anti-gravity effects. They’re not just for kids - they can fit up to a size 9 men’s shoe and hold up to 180 pounds. And what a bargain to trip over yourself - the Moon Shoes are only $34.99.

 

Stupid Invention #3: Anti-Monkey Butt Powder

If you don’t want to have a monkey butt, Anti-Monkey Butt Powder might be just what you need. I think it’s just an expensive version of baby powder, but it’s good to know that if you ever worry about developing a monkey butt suddenly there’s a product out there.

That’s all the time I have today, but I’m sure I’ll continue to find some other stupid and funny inventions in my travels that I’ll post again soon.
