A cruise ship apparently driven by morons was run aground today in Alaska, resulting in 200 people being evacuated from the ship by local fishermen. Nice job, boys.
Then, we have a well duh moment by the people who run a nudist camp association. Apparently they have just noticed that 90% of their members (pun incredibly, uncomfortably obvious) are 35 and older. They are trying to attract younger people to come and take it off by offering discounts, but without much luck.
And finally the utter moron of the day award goes to the group of teachers who thought it would be a good idea to stage a mock school shooting with their class of 6th graders. Like, what the hell were they thinking?
“During the last night of the trip, staff members convinced the 69 students that there was a gunman on the loose. They were told to lie on the floor or hide underneath tables and stay quiet. A teacher, disguised in a hooded sweat shirt, even pulled on a locked door. “
Predictably, the parents are freaking (as I would, and I’m sure as would most)…. These idiots deserve to be fired.
**Update from Boing Boing: Apparently there’s some spin at work here, the school board released a press statement. I still think that the “prank” is in very very poor taste.
