Stupid

To the wonderful people who compile the OED, I present a new definition of stupid:

stupid n. [stoo-pid, styoo–]  Dove World Outreach Center

In a blog post entitled Ten Reasons to Burn a Koran, Fran Ingham outlines a bunch of ideas that tries to justify why, on September 11, everyone should burn a Qur’an. I’m not sure what positive outcome this bunch of lunatics hopes to achieve, but a comment on the blog kind of sums up what I think:

… You are angry about something you are afraid of and I am angry with your stupidity.  But do us all a favor; go get a glass, fill it with a handful of ice cubes (they are in the refrigerator on your back-porch) and pour yourselves a nice tall glass of “shut the fuck up”.  You are going to get people killed with your hateful acts scheduled for 9/11.

Fran’s interpretation of the Bible and of history is dangerous, ignorant and… stupid. I really, really cannot fathom how anyone can come to the conclusion that a problem can be solved by burning a book that is holy to a quarter of the world’s population. Sigh.
