“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
Monday
is usually the day for stupid quiz show answers. But this Olympic Monday here
are a selection of stupid questions asked by some intellectually challenged
members of the public in relation to past Olympic Games held in Vancouver, Canada
(winter) and in Sydney, Australia.
I
think it proves not only that dumb people don’t just give dumb answers, they
ask dumb questions too; and that dumbness is a worldwide phenomenon (the
nationality of the questioner is indicated after the question).
Enjoy.
