Who wouldn’t want to read about frozen meat, huh?  Specifically that processed by the Canterbury Frozen Meat Company?  (Yes, THAT Canterbury Frozen Meat Company.  You too are impressed, are you not?)

Really Important Modern Poetry

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Team Stupidest

The time has come to celebrate the accidental lyricism of some rather unexpected wordsmiths: We speak, of course, of such heretofore grievously overlooked poets as poet-candidate Newt Gingrich, poet-reality star Snooki, poet-tv personality Bill O’Reilly, poet-foot-in-mouth-prone Joe Biden, and many other estimable modern luminaries …  collected in The Anthology of Really Important Modern Poetry.  Read some selections from these bold-faced bards.

The Stupidest “North, South, What’s the Diff” Moment from Our Own Calendar

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Team Stupidest

So.  We blew it.  Note the insanely ridiculous error we didn’t catch in the 2012 Stupidest Things Ever Said calendar.  Egg on our face.  The shame, the shame.  The horror, the horror.  And all that.  (On the plus side:  now you can see why we have chosen stupidity as the main focal point of our careers … !)

Thanks to all of those eagle-eyed readers who caught this, informed us and (in some cases!) didn’t rub it in too much!
