Stupid Quotes

[moe_4eva]

Okay, so I was inspired to start this game after hearing some recent quotes in my state on various topics. Place quotes you hear or read that are so blatantly obvious or stupid that the person who said them should be reprimanded with extreme prejudice. Please include explanations when appropriate. I'll start:

"It really does look like a bomb went off"

Stated by one of my lovely state legislators, talking about 35,500 pounds of explosives that went off when a truck overturned, creating a crater 35 feet wide and 70 feet long.

EDIT: Please follow forum policy, and stray away from politics, religion, etc. (although quotes from people in the political spotlight are okay so long as it doesn't get into political issues).

I don't think this is stupid but its rather funny.

"I'd like to grow up and be beautiful. I know it doesn't matter, but it doesn't hurt"~Kirsten Dunst.

"It's in our country's interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm's way." —George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., April 28, 2005

Ahh, i love George Bush quotes :D

"Its time we punish those terrorist killers"- George Bush the idiot. This is what happens when Bush is allowed to think for him self.

One that drives me nuts you see people in the media say all the time:

"It looks like they've found a large cachet of weapons in that bunker..." (or whatever)

"Cache", pronounced the same as "cash", is a hidden supply. Something with "cachet" (cash-ay) is of noted quality or distinction.

What about when people, including newscasters and our president, say nucular, as opposed to nucleeear? Drives me crazy, makes me break out in hives.

As to an actual quote, my contribution will be Michael Moore: "I'm sorry, but the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end." Nice. Very sensitive to the grieving families. I'll shut up now or be in danger of turning this political ;)

I got one that my granny said when she saw my ipod mini.

David Beckham has a ton of 'em. Just search google

some examples

We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.

I have come to accept that if I have a new haircut it is front page news. But having a picture of my foot on the front page of a national newspaper is a bit exceptional.

Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side (when asked if he was a 'volatile' player)

I think I've lost a lot of my ### fans to Gavin Henson. It's a shame as I really love them.

So to de-politicize this thread a bit... As a New Yorker who walks the streets and rides the subway, there's a site I like to check out periodically called overheardinnewyork.com. They post random quotes overheard and submitted by random people.

My fave for today: NYU girl: Yeah, I think I'm good looking. I mean, if I had a twin, I would totally hook up with him.

I guess people could theoretically make them up, but the quotes are funny anyway.

There's a sign in Manila,

Stop Corruption, God is enough!

"64K bytes of RAM should be enough for anyone..."

topically for those of you who've heard of cricket ( brit online... :) )
