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.
