Today’s Dumbass of the Day award goes to an unnamed man in Durban, South Africa. Jeff Wicks reports that the would-be thief attempted to climb over a wall protected by sharp spikes. During the attempt, both feet became impaled. When police found him in the morning, he was hanging upside down, still impaled on one foot.

This has fail written over it in so many ways.

The most interesting part is hard to tell. First, according to “bystanders”, he’s been there for 12-hours. So had they been watching?

Secondly, he somehow had an unlit cigarette in his mouth. I don’t know if he had it himself, or someone gave it to him. Regardless, an unlit cigarette is not likely to make anyone feel much better.

Tomorrow’s Dumbass of the Day is … who knows?
