We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La Fee Absinthe-Minded Moment of the Week finalists. Inside we have The World, Orania, and the Arnold Schwarzenegger. But who claims the prize for the most mindbogglingly foolish tomfoolery of the week? Click through to find out!
Third place: Arnold Schwarzenneger
Earlier this week, Arnold Schwarzenegger admitted he had fathered a child with a longtime household staffer, who retired in January after 20 years of “service” (oh yeah). Meanwhile, ABC News reports that Schwarzenegger’s newly revealed child and his son Christopher were born less than a week apart, about 14 years ago. Maria Shriver, Arnold’s Kennedy-clan trophy wife hasn’t made the decision to divorce him – yet. But she will. Living, breathing reminders of infidelity are hard to deal with. Arnie, you have been a naughty, naughty little steroid-guzzling boy. Hasta la vista. You won’t be back.
Second place: The World
Not sure if you guys have caught the news, The World is ending tomorrow. That’s a fairly substantial problem, so just to cover our bases, we’ll depart with the usual La Fee Absinthe-Minded Moment Of The Week format, and award a pre-emptive tip of the cap to Planet Earth. Word is the impending doom will be heralded by simultaneous, crippling earthquakes, which sucks a lot for Japan and New Zealand, considering their recent seismic punishment. It would be most silly indeed for you to end tomorrow, World. You would surely have to be drinking absinthe to do something like that.
The Winner: Orania
South Africa experienced arguably the most hard-fought local government elections in it’s young democracy this last week. Signs of the country’s burgeoning political maturity were everywhere, with strong contestation of major wards. Which makes it deliciously ironic that the all-white racist enclave of Orania should fall to the African National Congress. Shame, it’s tough to be an institutional racist in a democracy. Your move, Orania.
