Numbers Never Lie

Have you noticed the increase of stupid people in the world? It used to be that one out of five people were stupid. If you had five co-workers, four of them were pretty self-sufficient while the fifth was a real piece of driftwood. But since the early eighties the volume of stupid people has been increasing at an alarming rate. It is now estimated that 50% of the population are dumb-shits. You can’t swing a dead cat with out hitting an idiot. Do these numbers seem high to you? Take a moment and look around your life. Think of your four closest co-workers, don’t you think that at least two of them would be better off in a job that requires them to say “Would you like fries with that”? Or how about your neighbors, shouldn’t a couple of them load up the truck and head out to “Doofusville”?

Stupid people seem to be everywhere: At the grocery store paying for a pack of Wrigley’s with a check; Taking 20 minutes to decide on their order in the McDonald’s drive thru; Standing in line to see Star Wars month prior to it’s opening. The nation is becoming over run with stupidity. It seems to have crept into most branches of the government and most organized religions. If you want to see real stupidity… take a look at television executives.

But stupidity is like a cancer, even when you think you’ve cut out the big chunk, the little remnants continue to grow until it’s a far worse situation. The spread of stupidity has been helped greatly by the advent of the Internet. Now morons from across the globe can contact each other and spread through the use of technology. It is estimated that, at this alarming growth rate, 80% of the population will be “mentally challenged” by the year 2020. That means eventually mankind will have the most amazing and advanced technology at its disposal and no freaking idea how to use it.

Now for those of you who are questioning the legitimacy of these numbers or are feel that the people around them do not fit the average number presented here, then just make a slight change, include yourself in the numbers and I’m sure that will get you back up to the national average.
