Miami, FL - In an unprecedented show of bipartisan cooperation, Democrats and Republicans have joined forces to create a wall around the state of Florida. But this isn't just any wall - it's a wall designed to teach people about stupidity.
According to sources close to the project, the wall will be covered in a variety of instructional materials that will enlighten visitors on the many and varied expressions of human idiocy. From videos of people attempting to microwave metal objects to staged demonstrations of the dangers of not reading warning labels, the wall will be a one-stop shop for all things asinine.
Proponents of the wall argue that it's a necessary step in combating what they see as a growing tide of ignorance in America. "We owe it to future generations to show them just how stupid people can be," said Senator John Doe (R-FL). "I mean, have you seen some of the stuff that people do? It's mind-boggling."
Opponents of the project, however, are skeptical of its effectiveness. "Building a wall to teach people about stupidity is like building a bridge to nowhere," said Adam Smith, a political commentator and author. "It might make you feel good, but it's not going to solve anything."
Despite the criticism, construction on the wall is set to begin within the next few months. The initial phase of the project will focus on the southern portion of the state, with plans for expansion in the coming years.
As for concerns about the economic impact of the wall, proponents argue that it will actually be a boon to the local economy. "People love stupid stuff," said Senator Jane Smith (D-FL). "Look at the success of reality TV. Imagine if we could bring that same level of entertainment to the masses with our stupidity wall."
Only time will tell whether or not the wall will achieve its goals, but one thing is for sure - it's going to be a sight to see. So if you find yourself in Florida in the coming years, be sure to take a detour and see just how dumb people can be. You might learn something, or you might just get a good laugh out of it.
