Stupid has the balls, then loses them to a really dumb injury.

Diesel – Reminiscent of Wrangler Europe’s “Stop Thinking” ads, Diesel has a controversial ad campaign called “Be Stupid,” one of whose slogans is “Smart May Have the Brains, But Stupid Has the Balls.” It may be worth noting that Smart may have $175, but Stupid spends it on one pair of jeans.

Fitch, Abercrombie & – The slightly upper-crusty apparel company closed down its Hollister store and another A&F store in NYC due to a bedbug infestation. Folks, if the worst thing you ever catch from a group of Abercrombie and Fitchies is a bedbug, you’re doing fine.

Gibson, Mel – A few years post-drunken anti-Semitic rant after being stopped on suspicion of DUI, Gibson has allegedly been caught on tape spewing racist and misogynist slurs toward his baby-momma Oksana Grigorieva. Wow, Mel. A few more of these, and you will have pissed off every single category of person in the world.

Lohan, Lindsay – The troubled starlet escaped relatively lightly from a 2007 DUI charge with suspicion of cocaine usage in part because a booking officer mistook cocaine found on her person for a breath mint: “Some of the white substance fell to the floor. I used my foot to see what had fell but thought nothing of it. I did not recognize the substance attached to the card and initially thought the substance was a wet crushed breath mint.” The officer realized something was wrong when he supposedly took one of the breath mints and got crazy buzzed and went on a 7-mile run and felt like he could take on the whole Empire himself.

Reznor, Trent – The Nine Inch Nails frontman is reportedly recording the score for the Facebook-inspired film The Social Network. Early on I thought there was no way I could be interested in this movie, but now with Reznor doing the score and David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en) directing…

Woods, Tiger – The embattled golfer and wife Elin Nordegren have almost finalized their divorce, and she’ll likely be getting $100 million, or $100 per mistress.
