Idiocy Knows No Bounds

Oh, this is just too ridiculous to ignore. Just when I thought the United States government had the market cornered on idiocy, the EU comes out with a monumentally stupid law. They have actually banned producers of bottled water from making the claim that drinking water can help avoid dehydration.

After a three year investigation no less, a group of completely brain dead fools found no evidence to prove such a claim. Now, this begs the question, what idiot or group of idiots decided we needed research into whether water can prevent dehydration in the first place, but somewhere along the line, somebody decided we did. Then this group of rocket scientists took 3 years studying whether water is wet??? Well, DUH...

What planet are these people from? Because, us earthlings pretty much figured out quite some time ago that drinking water is a good way to hydrate the body. That’s why we drink it. I wouldn’t have thought there were any people on the planet that weren’t well aware of that fact, but low and behold, they paraded themselves right out into plain site and declared themselves complete and utter imbeciles for all to see.

In the article, it stated that previous nonsensical laws having to do with bent bananas and curvy cucumbers were scrapped in 2008 because it caused international ridicule. Uh, ya’ think??? Hey fellas, I got a news flash for you, YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET!!! "International ridicule"? You'll achieve a new level of fame for absurdity. Somewhere on a planet lightyears from here, one alien is nudging his friend saying, “Hey, look at these knuckleheads” while he laughs his alien ass off. I’ve seen stupidity before but you guys take the prize.

I’ve always thought that the whole concept of bottled water is a little dumb and a big part of society is not too bright by paying for something that is widely available virtually free out of any tap, but it took government officials to reach for a new level of idiocy and they have certainly achieved it. Way to go morons.
