It’s time for another article about stupid people. Stupid people in New Zealand, this time; particularly parents.

A Judge has ruled that a 9 year old girl named ‘Talula does the Hula from Hawaii’ be remanded in the care of the court so she can change her name.

BBC News reports:

Judge Rob Murfitt said that the name embarrassed the nine-year-old and could expose her to teasing.

Apparently this is a trend in New Zealand with approved names having been given to infants ranging from Violence, Number 16 Bus Shelter, Midnight Chardonnay to the twins Benson and Hedges (a famous cigarette manufacturer).

How stupid do you have to be to name your child Number 16 Bus Shelter? I’d be guessing pretty idiotic. Not only are you giving them a social trauma in school but you’re also making it impossible for them to find a job later on in life.

Hi, my name is Violence. I would like to apply for a job as child care assistant.

Enough said? I think so.

There’s some lovely related vids as well.

Pat Condell hits the nail on the head with his new video about Islam, Saudi Arabia and Scared Civil Servants in the U.K.

Mr. Condell also picks up a story about Civil Servants believing Muslims would be offended by a particular poster. Here it is.

Good going, Pat.

This is the reason you have to buy newer cars to survive on the road these days.

A bit grainy, but it does make its point…

This man’s kid will be twisted later on in life…

Standup comedian and TV personality Jimmy Carr deals with a heckler.

In this thrilling episode, the world’s least understood clown, full time party animal and linguist extraordinaire G. W. Bush… well, gets pwnd by a girl, really. Let’s all move to Ireland, where men are men, and women are… well, they’re women, but with balls. Huge ones. And lovely spines too.

Then again, she had an easy victim.

The girl is Carol Coleman, the interview is really old (2004? they had internets back then?), but it’s still a good 10 minutes of top entertainment.

Many people didn’t believe the original article about the British Office of Government Commerce changing its logo into something rather rude.

Well, here’s proof. The Register managed to get its hands on a mousemat from the OGC.

Brilliant.
