    Celebrity Stupidity Notwithstanding: C'mon, Man! It's a Joke!

    From the Huffington Post.

    The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Really?

    Looks like  sportswriter Sweeny Murti is being unfairly trashed for his apparent stupidity when in fact he's just referring to the classic John Belushi line in Animal House. You'd think that the people who create calendars of the stupidest things ever said would know this. 

    Murti now has his own 'day' on the '365 Stupidest Things Said' calendar:

    A9hIytTCIAAxhXZ

    Here is the clip:

      

    Actually, Murti's getting the last laugh. He's a lot more famous than he was before, and the calendar's creators, Ross and Kathryn Petras, are the ones looking like morons.
