What would be in a Museum of Stupidity?

In Laura's journal, she pejoratively referred to an art museum in San Jose as the 'museum of stupidity.'

So the question I pose to my fair readers is: what would be exhibited in a real Museum of Stupidity?

What would be in a Museum of Stupidity?
Why, a teenage sex cult, of course!

But seriously!

I told you this already, but: stupid inventions. Informercial products. The pizza cutter-fork thing Ryan and Julie have. Orbitz soda.

I think it ought to be something similar to the Musuem of Bad Art.

I also think it needs to include a photo-exhibit of Holy Land, USA.

Ohio?

Nah, I think more like Wisconisn. Or Nebraska. Ohio's pretty tame compared to those two.

For my part, I thought that it could be a museum of stupid people, like dioramas of people who have done really stupid things. Some would be along the lines of the Darwin Awards.

You could push a button to see the dioramas come to awkward, animatronic life. The little figures would act out something incredibly stupid, with a poorly-synched audio track to boot.

The first wall when you enter will have in large letters What is stupidity? with a brief explanation of how the word has been defined through the ages, and an explanation of how the museum has tried to capture all that is stupidity.

I want to create an exhibit which features lifesize stand-up cardboard cut-outs of frat boys, with a recording constanly playing fo realyl stupid things I've heard out of the mouths of UNC students.
