YCMTSU - Part 2

YCMTSU = You Can't Make This Stuff Up

Sometimes there are stories you hear that you think, "no way someone can be that stupid".  And then you are proven wrong.  Over the past 2 days, I have had the distinct "pleasure" of reading 2 stories that fit into the "dumb and dumber" category.  I guess I shouldn't be so surprised based on a previous post of mine.

Yes, yes..... late Wednesday, "engadget" blogged about stupid burglars who accepted a texted ransom for a stolen cellphone.  Huh?  I'm sure this will be a candidate for the annual Darwin awards.  OK that was just dumb.  Then this morning I was on ESPN reading about a bomb threat made to most, if not all, of the NFL stadiums hosting games this weekend.  Made me think - huh... that's not good even if the threat was viewed by some authorities with skepticism from the start.  Then tonight, it came out that the threat was a hoax AND..... get this, it was inspired by a writing contest between two men in Brownsville, Texas and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Are you kidding me?!?  I can't wait for the guys from Deadspin to comment on this one.

I don't get it.  Anyone else get it?
