World: A couple drunk guys make a bomb threat on a Dubai-bound plane

  • Great job guys. You freaked out everyone at Heathrow. Robert Fowles of Dover, England, was charged yesterday with making a bomb threat and being drunk on a plane headed for Dubai. His buddy, Alexander McGinn, was also charged. Maybe the stewards misinterpreted what Fowles said – i.e. “I just got BOMBED at a T.G.I. Friday’s airport bar while waiting for this flight!” They have T.G.I. Friday’s in Britain, right? source

Biz: Idiots at the Upland, Calif. Wal-Mart: Way to be bad shoppers/human beings

  • This was without a doubt the worst I’ve ever seen it. They wouldn’t let people line up. They were belligerent. They just bombarded the store.
  • A Upland, Calif. Wal-Mart employee • Describing the scene at the store. The employee has been around the block, working a dozen Black Fridays. They had to close the store for three hours this morning because people were ripping up merchandise, fighting and generally being crazy. You know, there are better ways to get deals than this. source

Politics: Meet Sarah Palin’s throng of clueless, uniformed supporters

  • Sure, what they initially said sounds good, but it becomes clear after talking to these people (who are waiting in line to meet Palin in Grand Rapids, Michigan) for more than two seconds that they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. Which is why this clip rules.

Offbeat: People say the dumbest things at job interviews

  • When you do background checks on candidates, do things like public drunkenness arrests come up?
  • A job interviewee, when asked if they had any questions • That big idiot, along with 42 other idiots (who said such wonderful things as “What do you want me to do if I cannot walk to work if it’s raining? Can you pick me up?” and “I saw the job posted on Twitter and thought, why not?”) are a big part of the reason why the unemployment level is so high in this country. Right? Anyway, read this list and laugh, kids. Laugh. • source

U.S.: NASA: We’re a bunch of freaking idiots who delete moon footage

  • They deleted the tape! Yeah, that one! NASA, we’re sure with the same look that you had when you busted up your dad’s Dodge when you took your ex-girlfriend on a romantic camping vacation, admitted to accidentally deleting over the most iconic tape in their entire collection, the one that turns 40 this month. You know, the moon mission. The one with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Fortunately, they had some company, Lowry Digital, remaster the heck out of the footage to make it even better than the original. But still, idiots: Don’t delete tapes with important American history on them in a desire to save cash. source
