Get your butt off my train!

Blog Guy, help me out here. Is there one person who is for sure the stupidest human being on the face of the earth? You can take some time to answer if you like.

I don’t need time. It’s the guy in our story today, who mooned railway staffers who were in a departing train.

Well, that does sound stupid I guess, but lots of people moon other people.

True, but they don’t get their trousers caught in a door on the train and wind up being dragged half naked along the platform and come close to getting killed.

Blog Guy, I know how you think. Sure, that’s very stupid, and sure, it’s pretty funny, but is there something ELSE going on here?

Okay, you got me. The guy was a JOURNALISM student. Like he’s not going to have enough problems making it in this business anyway, without getting his bare-butt dragged by moving vehicles?

If you were a newspaper editor and you saw that on his résumé, would you hire him?

Not if we were someplace where he’d have to commute to work, I wouldn’t.

Looks like cricket game to me. Maybe they’re going to paddle his butt…

I have to agree this is very much top-notch stupidity. What I also think is this is not the last the world has seen of his arse if he has to pay the fines he’s being subject to… and probably sitting on it is the last thing this guy will be doing in the coming months!!

Does anyone have a phone number for the guy in the first pic? Once I got past the brilliant white of his untanned butt, I realised it’s actually kinda cute!

I’m actually finding myself agreeing with what E just said. :P
