Every day, the “Florida Man” segment on the #DLRS provides us with a laugh and a bit of a break. Here on The Dana Show page, we would like to supplement that with a weekly glance at the stupid going on elsewhere in the world, top ten style. And so I give you: “Meanwhile, Outside the Sunshine State…”
10. The British woman who believe that she can't lose weight until to government either pays her to do so or buys her healthy food. It's important to note here that while she claims that she cannot afford healthy food or a gym membership (she is currently unemployed and receiving housing plus £20,000 in benefits annually – about $32,000) because that would cut into her favorite Chinese and pizza carryouts. I also noted the tattoos and the hair dye that seems to be upkept even if it is a rather frightening color.
9. The Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate who sparks one up in her TV ad after claiming that cancers and degenerative diseases are caused by “deprivation of cannabinoids.” In other words, “dudes, the Man took away all the pot, and it like totally made everyone sick.”
8. The guy who stole 500 pounds of squash from a church in Pittsfield, Massachusetts – which they were planning to give away anyway.
7. Delaware's “Naked Jogger,” who has been spotted several times in the past week jogging and walking in the New Castle area, wearing nothing but a back pack and running shoes.
6. The guy who robbed a Dunkin Donuts in Center City, Philadelphia, at the point of a hypodermic needle. No word on whether or not the needle had been previously used.
5. The Connecticut man who stole a car...and then drove it to his probation meeting.
4. The guy from Bucks County, PA, who reminds us all that firearm education is important: he fired his gun in the direction of his neighbor's home because he “needed to clear the chamber and was unfamiliar with how to do that.”
3.The Ohio college professor who downloaded kiddie porn on his work computer, then called IT for help with a virus – with predictable results.
2. The $10 crowdfunding campaign for potato-salad that turned into “PotatoStock 2014.” An Ohio man jokingly attempted to crowdsource his first attempt at making potato salad. The surprising result was $55,000 in donations, much of which Zack Brown donated to charities that help the homeless and hungry. He did make potato salad, however. A whopping 300 pounds of it, which he shared with the public in Columbus, OH, in a charity-minded public party.
1. The Canadian gentleman who came into the US, taped 51 juvenile turtles to his legs, and tried to cross the border back into Canada. It is assumed that he intended to sell the turtles as pets.
