It defines the word stupid as follows: "lacking ordinary quickness and keenness of mind; dull; characterized by or proceeding from mental dullness; foolish; senseless; tediously dull, inane, pointless; annoying or irritating; troublesome; in a state of stupor; stupefied"
I like dictionary.com. It lacks one thing that real dictionaries have - the occasional picture that helps to define the word. For those two words, the following picture easily and perfectly defines both words:
I give you Mr. Reprehensible and his partner Miss StupidIf you don't know who these two geniuses are, you haven't been watching the.best.reality.show.on.TV - The Amazing Race. While I won't recap this season here, I will say I was tired of these two the minute they showed up in the first episode. They have demonstrated time again why the gene pool filter should kick in forcing some people to never procreate. To say they are just a bit dim would be an understatement. I can forgive stupid, but what has been most unforgivable has been the hate they have spewed the entire race. Caite (who spells like that? Seriously.) is a former pageant princess who made an epic error in a pageant a few years ago and she's never recovered. She and her dim, tragically dim, boyfriend are also packing a pretty big case of homophobia. They've had it in for another team, Carol and Brandy, from the moment Phil, the show's host, yelled "GO!" Caite has referred to them as the 'lesbians' ever since and each time she says that word, it came out more and more venomously. You could feel the hate oozing out of her. Hardly pageant like behavior, wouldn't you say. Last night, they took the hate to new heights, managing to get rid of their nemesis. Fine. It's a game. But enough with the hate.
In watching this season of the "Race" and the antics of these two people, I realize how tired I've grown of hate. It makes for some serious ugly. It's tiresome. It's unpleasant. I'm over it.
Earlier I mentioned Caite's epic error in a pageant...well, here it is:
It speaks for itself. And sadly, so does she.
That was the most AWESOME video clip! I don't watch the Amazing Race and don't know about her hate, but honestly, I pity someone who has to live down that answer forever. It's the kind of response some Hollywood screenwriter would have put in the script for a Sandra Bullock movie. And we all would have cracked up.
