Idiot of the Week 4/10/06-4/16/06

I'm not even going to take nominations for IotW this week, I've already found my winners. A Missouri couple claimed to be having sextuplets, in order to recieve gifts and money. It was all a hoax, which was figured out after no hospitals reported delivering the 6 babies on 8 March 2006 as the parents claimed. These people must be some special kind of stupid, because sextuplets are so rare, involve fertility treatments (how someone didn't figure that out beforehand is beyond me... "Hey, wait a minute, who implanted those embryos? Hmmmm, something isn't adding up here!"), and get LOTS of attention. After all, Google "sextuplets", and the few families in the world with them have websites dedicated to keeping us informed on their progress, even into adulthood. Did these people REALLY think they would pull this one off?? When asked for a comment after confessing to the fraud, the "mother" declined, saying she didn't want to say anything to anyone, because "...nobody get's it". Well, darlin', you're right! We don't understand how stupid, and selfish you are. However, here is your reward, you and your husband are the Idiots of the Week!!
