When Ty was little he had a pair of imaginary friends named Dopey and Bonkey.  Dopey and Bonkey did all the stupid things Tyler was learning not to do like jump on the bed, climb on the roof, play in the street and stick a finger in a light socket.

Dopey and Bonkey died a thousand deaths before Kenny died one.

I haven't thought of Dopey and Bonkey in years, but they've been on my mind a lot lately as more and more people do stupider and stupider things when they really ought to know better.

For instance; Dopey and Bonkey raped a thirteen year old and thought they shouldn't go to jail because they make such good (okay, barely mediocre) movies.
 
Dopey and Bonkey got up in front of a crowd of school kids and sang the praises of Chairman Mao.  Sure, he slaughtered tens of millions of his countrymen, but what a philosopher!  Then they said they were only joking.

Dopey and Bonkey gave Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize.

When Dopey and Bonkey heard a child say he was having an affair with an adult, their only advice was "use a condom !"

Dopey and Bonkey let Iran have weapons grade enriched Uranium.

Dopey and Bonkey said "Yes!  We want free medical care provided by the government!"

It's like watching an entire culture win a Darwin Award.
