This week's Genius of the Week is Steven Burton.

The former band geek turned a few heads when he showed up at his 20 year high school reunion in his full Marine Corps dress uniform and a chest full of medals. The only problem is that Burton never served a day in the military.

He was spotted by a real veteran at the reunion who photographed his uniform and checked with the defense department. The would-be war hero could face up to a year in jail under the Stolen Valor Act

    The world is filled with a mind-bogglingly vast array of morons and imbeciles. However, not all idiots are created equal. To transcend mere pedestrian thick-headedness and achieve the highest echelons of idiocy requires herculean effort and unwavering dedication. Sadly, many of these heroic dumbasses spend their days toiling in obscurity, never receiving the recognition they deserve.

    Until now.

    Jackie-Knott

    This week’s Genius of the Week is Jackie Knott.

    This 37-year-old mother from Albertville, Ala. faced a tough decision this week, when she couldn’t fit a cardboard box she wanted to take home into her van.

    She then did what any responsible parent/retarded person would do: she put the box on top of the van and had her teenage daughter ride inside the box to weigh it down. Fucking brilliant.

    Amid the devastating wildfires that swept through Australia last week, Sokaluk decided it would be a good idea to light yet another wildfire. The fires have killed at least 180, with over 1,800 homes destroyed and 7,500 people displaced.

    As if he thought that didn’t make him enough of a dick, when he was arrested Friday on arson charges, he was found to be in possession of child pornography.

    This week’s Genius of the Week is Nadya Suleman. Suleman is the woman who gave birth to octuplets last month.

    Suleman underwent fertility treatments to conceive all of her FOURTEEN children, including her last litter. That’s in spite of the fact that she was already a single mother of six children, three of whom are disabled.

    Oh yeah, and then there is the little fact that she was already on food stamps. That’s right. She couldn’t feed the six she already had, and she just crapped out eight more.
