The World Stupidity Awards are determined by online voting and the Awards are given out July 23rd at the Just for Laughs Festival. Thousands of people have been voting. Organizers say they can't reveal exact numbers, but that Canada has suddenly surged in standings during the last week. "The email we've been receiving has a lot of people credited the current election campaign for Canada's spectacular showing," said Osten. "People are saying the Canadian electorate is demonstrating stupidity by endorsing parties that may represent an absolute national flip flop." Canada is competing with North Korea, France, Australia with the US for the coveted Golden Dunce Cap Awards. The 2004 Stupidity Awards will go to winners in 11 categories: Stupidest Man of the Year, Woman, Country, Trend, Movie, TV Show, Act, Statement, Media Outletwhich has made the Greatest Contribution to Furthering Worldwide Ignorance, Reckless Endangerment of the Planet and Lifetime Achievement Award for Stupidity. Nominees will vie for the Golden Dunce Cap at the live awards ceremony. High-Profile Presenters An array of high-profile comics and special guests will present the coveted awards including Lewis Black (Daily Show), Jimmy Tingle (60 Minutes) and Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Black and others at a huge gala at the Montreal spectrum.

    I'm not surprised at all.

    I know intelligent, rational people that are voting for harper. Go figure.

    BTW, the postings are coming so fast and furious I can hardly keep up !!

    I'll be so glad when this election is over, and then I hope harper, mulroney and harris crawl back under their respective rocks.

    I hope that Harris, Harper, Mulroney, etc all come out from under their rocks. I also hope they privatise everything ASAP, especially the health system; and I hope that people have to pay $400 at the doctor's when they get a cough. Maybe then people will actually do something to get the government they want rather than sit at home and complain about nobody to vote for, and maybe it will scare "the rest" into teaming up.

    exact opposite. We are a bunch of idiots!

    Yep, Canadians are about to elect somehow who hates Canada. Isn't there an old saying, why pluck out your eye to spite your face? My next question--when does Michael Moore make a film about Stephen Harper?
