The 4th Annual World Stupidity Awards has revealed this year's global champions of stupidity and ignorance, as decided by a worldwide Internet vote.

An American judge who presided over several murder trials while attached to a throbbing penis pump was voted Stupidest Man of the Year - edging out US Vice President Dick Cheney and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (neither men are not known to use the device while working). "I think this sends a clear warning to all the other penis pumping judges, airline pilots and heart surgeons," said World Stupidity Awards SpokesMoron Robert Spence, "turn off that penis pump now!


Although some are already calling this a humiliating defeat for Cheney, the Vice President took the award for having created the Stupidest Moment of the Year when he shot his friend in the face during a hunting trip instead of a bird. "Although Vice President Cheney had worthy adversaries," said Spence, "you must bear in mind, the Cheney shooting unleashed a series of stupid events, and helped create what would become this year's stupidest statement.


In the category of Stupidest Statement of the Year, a comment by Cheney's shooting victim Harry Whittington was the clear winner. After Cheney shot him, Whittington, a lawyer said: "My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week."


Always a contender, US President George W. Bush won the hotly contested new category, the Disinformation Stupidity Award for Being Most out of Touch with Reality. "I think the feeling from voters is that all the nominees, which included Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise and Hilary Clinton, were deserving," said Spence. "The award, however, went to the person most out of touch with reality, while having the most influence on it." President Bush was also awarded with his own category this year after voters complained that his presence in the Stupidest Statement category was unfair to other nominees.


The President's statement that won the Stupidest Statement by President George W. Bush was Bush's famous Katrina disaster line "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job." It beat out "Wow, Brazil is big!" and even "I am the decider." Killing people for God won in the category of Stupidest Trend of the Year, followed closely by the media's tendency towards glibly an nouncing that World War 3 has already begun. The trend towards showing off Ass Cleavage brought up the rear. "Killing people for God was voted a clear victor in this category," said Spence. "And it probably serves as a reminder to check with your god before murdering innocent people, as most gods will send you directly to hell." The Middle East itself was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for Stupidity.

Betting on Stupidity

The World Stupidity Awards added a new twist this year with several major online betting sites taking wagers on the outcome.
"We think betting on stupidity is a rock solid proposition," said World Stupidity Awards founder, Albert Nerenberg. "The only thing in this world you can be 100 per cent sure of is that there will be more stupidity." The Awards are decided by online voting at www.stupidityawards.com. The World Stupidity Awards is governed by the Academy Recognizing Stupidity Everywhere (ARSE), which gathers a team of highly qualified experts in the field. "Basically they're a bunch of idiots," said SpokesMoron Spence. The World Stupidity Awards began in 2003, when researchers on the hit documentary Stupidity, discovered that achievement in stupidity and ignorance were rarely recognized.
