I hate to go over a topic that's already been pretty well covered, but I'm afraid there's something going on in the world. I think the stupid people have gotten stupider, and the really stupid people have just gone plain crazy. What could it be? Sun spots? Dramatic shift in the lunar orbit? Is there a large group of people out there trying to quit smoking and taking Chantix and going completely nuts?
I know that lots of people in Cambodia smoke, but is a drug-induced hysteria any excuse to shove a high-pressure air hose up your five-year-old's asshole?
A Cambodian father and mechanic learned the hard way not to inflate children when he inserted an air hose designed to fill car tires into his 5-year-old son's anus and blew him up, local media reported on Thursday.
The Khmer-language Rasmei Kampuchea daily reported Try Sienghym was "playing" with his son Sok Sambo when the incident took place.
The paper said the child's stomach became distended and his concerned mother rushed him to hospital, where he remains in a stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery.
"The father very much regrets playing like this now," the paper quoted a family member as saying.
I'll bet he does, especially because people the world over are mulling over the question of whether he's tragically stupid, or criminally psychotic.
Do you think these morons regret digging up a random grave and decapitating a corpse for the sole purpose of making a bong out of it?
Again, I must note that most people don't attempt to inflate their children anally or abuse corpses to get high, but as I've shown here, some people do.
Could we be facing a national crisis, a plague of idiocy sweeping across this great land? I think, perhaps, it's a possibility. Or, perhaps, it's just an election year.
