Continuing our theme of stupidity, I'd like to point out that I mainly feel it isn't anyone's job to protect the stupid from themselves. I laugh at warning labels on gas pumps that say "Harmful or fatal if swallowed." I groan when I hear lottery commercials that say, "The lottery is a game of chance, not for investment purposes." But I have to just throw my hands up in disgust when I hear that freaking shoes are popular enough to cause riots.

It's time to stop protecting the dumbasses from themselves and to start protecting the rest of us from them. Seriously, can't we just load them all up in a boat, ship them off to an unused island somewhere, then sink the ship when it's about halfway there? If there were a warning label, say, on the bottom of the boat that read, "Boarding this boat may be fatal if you are a complete idiot," then it would be okay, right?
