Doing the gene pool a favour

Sex for dummiesYou know those books…the For Dummies books. They’re pretty good books, all in all, but every now and again they come out with one that makes you think at least some of their target audience works at their headquarters.

Sex for Dummies.

Think about it. Look around you. I’m not sure where you live, but around these parts the dummies are breeding like rabbits. Even Britney‘s managed to drop a couple of spawn, and she’s just a puppy herself. At this rate by 2020 most of Southern California will be descended from Britney Spears, God help them.

But here’s a fellow who knows his station; ya gotta luv him. Me hearts dumb people who know they’re dumb and who know that’s a bad thing. Don’t give me any of this “Dumb Pride” stuff: that shit is whack. It was Camus, the wise, who said that it was the moral responsibility of the intelligent to oppress the stupid, otherwise the stupid would take over the world. I see some of us have been slacking a bit, and just look how that’s turned out!

But Shiv Charan Yadav knows his place and his duty to the gene pool. He’s sworn not to marry until he’s passed his high school exams. He is now 73 and has just failed his 38th attempt. It’s like poor, sweet, decorative John-John, only more like John-John-John-John-John-John-John-John-John-John-John-John-John- times – 38. Without the looks, money, family, or fame. Or, on the plus side, the pilot’s license.

Shiv Charan Yadav has been taking the exams – normally given to schoolchildren at the age of 15 -every year since 1969, without success. He was in his 30s when he first decided to better himself through education.

This year, he failed everything except Sanskrit, scoring only 103 out of a possible 600 points.

Also, he wants to marry a girl under thirty. Yeah, do you wonder if the papers would happen to be graded by twentysomething local females…it would explain alot.

    Bother – I was just about to do a post on Shiv. Unfortunately I have used up my plagiarist quota for the day.

    raincoaster, you might enjoy the film Idiocracy.

    It’s not especially good (although it has its moments), but the premise is relevant and amusing: an average joe from the current year is put into cryo-stasis and forgotten about. During the 500 years before he wakes up, society proceeds in a downward trend of celebrity culture, educating to the lowest common denominator, idiots breeding like rabbits and the intelligent becoming ‘uncool’. He wakes up to find himself the most intelligent man in the world and the film proceeds from there.

    I’ll second the birthday greetings.

    @Jack: I believe that the postings on this blog regarding P Hilton, P Hilton (no relation), and similar are part of OpGloMeDom.

    Raincoaster wants to get millions of hits because as people buy in to celebutard culture, their IQ decreases and Raincoaster will become the smartest creature on earth, besides a few of us other bloggers.

    From my Olympian desert heights I can regard the prospect with equanimity, rather than the vacant horror it usually commands.

    Jack: I live that nightmare every day. But I’ll keep an eye out for the film.

    Philipa, it hasn’t happened yet; it’s next month in fact, but I like to start the celebration early.

    raincoaster already IS the smartest creature on Earth; she even knows how to use capitalization correctly.

    Indeed, a remarkable number of people love stupid people. A truly remarkable number of people love homely, stupid people. Like Ike Turner.
