Sometimes, an idea seems so great in your own head that you fail to ask a simple question.
What could possibly go wrong?*
While personally injurious, psychologically, physically or cosmically, this complete lack of follow through leads to some amusing stories. The Darwin Awards are predicated on people not asking this simple question, with fatal consequences.
We don’t have to go that far. Your starter for ten is a prize winning fancy dress contestant.
A prankster sparked outrage after winning a prize at a fancy dress competition as paedophile Rolf Harris - while holding a sign which read: ‘I touch kids’.
Oliver Denton, 29, dressed up as the former Animal Hospital presenter, 87, and was wearing a waistcoat, a goatee beard and a pair of glasses.
He was stood next a white piece of paper - placed on an easel - which also included the statement: ‘I love Jimmy Savile’ and was signed by ‘R Harris’.
Any way, what could possibly go wrong with this shit idea?
Four carnival-goers are being investigated by police after they ‘blacked-up to look like a Jamaican bobsleigh team’.
The four men covered themselves in black body paint and Lycra bodysuits to dress up as characters from Cool Runnings at Aberaeron Carnival in West Wales.
Before someone starts misrepresenting my posts (again), I don’t think they should be arrested. But you are either a complete twat or a complete idiot (or a combination of both) if you blackface.
