NEWS: Star Wars Fans Getting Stupider

CULTURE: Star Wars Fans Getting Stupider

Star Wars fans, like the series itself, are getting progressively stupider. This is evidenced by the recent injury of two UK Star Wars fans, when their makeshift, GASOLINE FILLED light sabers exploded.

If we're lucky maybe the movie will be banned. These films are obviously negatively affecting the intelligence of their audience.

i think the better answer is that these people were stupid to begin with.

Use the force Luke. Also, gasoline.

I'm laughing, but it sounds quite serious; they're described as being in a critical condition.

Anyone who wants to play light sabre battles should use fluorescent tubes under overhead power lines, google for "Richard Box" and "Field" for pictures of his art thinger.

Set phasers for STUPID!

Flamable is the same as inflamable!??

hi, stupid people!

I'd say that at least they're out of the gene pool, but considering their interests, I'm guessing they weren't really in the running to begin with.

oh i totally agree, movies give stupid people stupid ideas at times, but on the whole, people are just fucked up idots anyways, if they didnt know lighting gasoline in a glass tube was a bad idea, i think they deserve to get blown up, ha

What I want to know is a:did they manage to wave their burning light sabres around before the asplosion, and b: WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO???

Make sure the tube can't reach the line, OK? Not by trying to touch it...

Just saying.

Now they get to have super-cool full body 3rd degree burns. Just like Anakin!!! That's a super fan for ya.

No doubt, the force equals mass times acceleration.

beware the path of hate you should.

I'd argue that people in GENERAL are just getting stupider.

I say we just enjoy the ride.

Nooooooooooooo!

It was Darth Stupidious and Darth Idioticus

wow...and to think that for a tenth of the price of their medical bills, they could have purchased their own lightsabres with Force FX!

May the Gas be with you....

Use the Gas Luke....

Beware the dark side of the Gas...

One thing that can be said for Star Wars fans - they don't speak Klingon.

They're in the UK; it's my taxes paying for their hospital bills.

Neat.

This so totally reminds me of the video where these kids fill a melon with gasoline, set it on fire and then hit it.
Needless to say the idiot with the bat gets engulfed in flames and the population of the internet get a good chuckle.

I think I might have to download that again actually

That said serious injuries, even if deserved by stupidity aren't a laughing matter

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When Nerds Attack! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Someone from Hertfordshire should go see them when they recover and ask if they filmed it

I think this is likely the case. Although that's perhaps not as easy or pertinent to use a fodder for a thousand bad jokes.
