Jackasses Blunders Gaffes and Stupidity
Ranked #4,252 in Entertainment, #47,335 overall
A world full of Jackasses, stupid people their gaffes and their blunders
Inspired by President Obama's remark about Kanye West's interruption of Taylor Swift, this lens takes a close look at the Jackass phenomenon. Who do you think is the biggest Jack Ass the world has ever seen? How did they earn the right to held in such low esteem? How come famous and clever people make serious public blunders? Is it extreme haughtiness or arrogance the stuff of hubris or simply a lapse in judgment. In today's hyper connected world we see more of it faster.
So, of the three Jackasses, Blunders, and Stupidity, which is the worst? How do they rank? Well top of the tree has to be the Jackass, the ultimate anti-accolade, given to the individual or individuals who are so socially inept, so unaware of the consequences of their actions that there is almost no hope for their rehabilitation, extreme almost pathological stupidity is the defining aspect of their character. Next comes stupidity itself. I guess we all may have found ourselves in this category at some time. Someone who is stupid shows a fairly frequent lack of judgment over a period of time but shows signs of learning from their mistakes. A blunder is an uncharacteristic gaffe, someone who makes a blunder is often regarded as the epitome of decorum. A blunder is more of a slip than a habit.

- Amazing ... right now at least, Kanye West is beating Adolf Hitler as the #1 jackass on the list. Wow! Actually, I think Hitler is in a category all of his own, way worse than jackass, but other than that, yes, Kanye is right up there. If I had been a fan to begin with--which I wasn't--I certainly wouldn't be any more. Some folks got all bent out of shape about the President's remark, but I personally think it was a completely accurate statement.
