Yes, that's right kids, it was one year ago today that I defiled X-mas week by starting this blog and I have ever since been cynically and inconsistently reporting examples of human behavior that makes our species a little more comically asinine each day. In commemoration of Zombie Darwin's first birthday, I've decided to start a tradition of looking back. I took a look at the various categories of the past year's entries and I decided to take the top 4 most frequently posted categories and re-share my personal favorite example from each one...
Here goes:
Here goes:
1. Guity Faces, Category: Arrest
As much as I would love an excuse to re-post pictures of the beauty queen who was accused of gun running, I've gotta give it up to the stupidity that is the two drunk burglars who, back in October, actually thought permanent maker would make a good disguise. With an incredibly backwards sense of Halloween spirit, these mugshots have since become viral gold and an online masterpiece testament to the depths of amazing criminal stupidity.2. Christians hating on Halloween, Category: The Paranormal
Another one from the Halloween season, this is a news story examining prominent fundamentalist Christians in America basically trying to ruin people's fun in late October by making all manner of bizarre supernatural claims. Why can't we all just get along and have some good old fashioned pagan fun once and a while?
--3. Swine Flu and the Media, Category: The News Media
I know that attacking the news (particularly in America) on the grounds of stupidity and the spread of cultural idiocy is like shooting a barn door at point blank range, but when you look back at raw facts versus how they were presented to the culture at the time, the H1N1 scare is a disappointing example of social failure.

4. Late Christmas Song, Category: Music
As much as I want to be surprised that 'music' made the top four categories, I tend to recall posting about things like Klenginem and Russian rap music. Last year, I presented this video a little late for X-mas, but today the sentiment will be on time. Overlapping with the categories douchebag, euro trash, and hot chicks, I'd like to finish by wishing everyone a Happy Holiday season with a little love from Gunther.
