- The Canadian government secured a surprise win Friday, beating out
such luminaries as Iran, North Korea and the United States, for the
dumbest government of the year at the World Stupidity Awards.
It also bested the United Nations in a hotly contested category that
organizers said proved Canadians can compete with the rest of the
world.
"Canadians often feel we're in the shadow of the U.S., especially when
it comes to stupidity, but now we're proving we're world class," said
Robert Spence, spokesman of the awards handed out during he Just for
Laughs comedy festival.
"And as host country, who could ask for more?"
The Gomery inquiry into the sponsorship scandal secured the award for
Canada, said Spence.
Dubbed the "Oscars of Idiocy," host Lewis Black of The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart led a team of comics and celebrities who handed out awards
recognizing achievement in ignorance and stupidity.
"I was dumbfounded," Spence said in a statement. "To see so much
stupidity in one room, I almost lost my mind. In fact, I did..."
U.S. President George W. Bush may not have led the dumbest government,
but he was honoured with the award for the Stupidest Statement of the
Year after telling a news conference: "They never stop thinking of ways
of harming America, and neither do we."
Accepting the award for Bush was Darth Vader.
Hotel heiress Paris Hilton won in two categories. She was named
Stupidist Woman of the Year and was star of The Simple Life, which was
named Stupidest Show of the Year.
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter won the award as Stupidest Man of
the Year. She beat out Bush, U.S. Senator John Kerry, NHL commissioner
Gary Bettman and Players Association director Bob Goodenow, and former
Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma.
Other winners included:
-Ashlee Simpson's lip-synching performance on Saturday Night Live for Dumbest Moment of the Year;
-Alien vs. Predator for Stupidest Movie of the Year;
-Crystal meth for Stupidest Trend of the Year;
-North Korean dictator Kim Jong for Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet;
-Fox News for Media Outlet Which Has Best Furthered Ignorance;
-The World Stupidity Awards for Stupidest Award Show of the Year.
The World Stupidity Awards were decided by worldwide Internet voters.
The third annual awards were overseen by the Academy Recognizing
Stupidity Everywhere (ARSE), which are "basically a bunch of morons,"
said Spence.
