The Ignorantic Tattoo Artist Strikes Again!

I'm sure there was a conversation before the tattoo was inked about what she actually wanted...or at least I hope so...

Strin Beem Crasserole

I'm in Sam's Club and two Ignorantics are discussing their Thanksgiving menu in the frozen foods section, then one of them says that she is going to make a strin beem crasserole for Thanksgiving. #Why

Hashtag Ignorantics

Should there be a cut-off character limit for hashtags? When is a hashtag too long? Should hashtags be sentences? paragraphs? stories? IJS

Ignorantics NEW Anthem!!!!

Great song!!!

Quiet...I Need to make a "Mute" Point!

Nursery Rhyme Gospel Remix

Lately, readers have been sending me tweets, emails, FB posts, and videos of Ignorantics as it relates to religion. One's religion can be a very delicate subject, but when folks begin to get "creative"  with their worship...that is when they might become a topic on Ignorantics.  Hence, the videos posted above. #GodKnowsHerHeart

The Top 25 Ignorantics of 2012 - Part 1

With all the Ignorantics taking place in 2012, it was impossible to only pick the top ten. Ignorantic readers have been nominating their favorites via text, email, FB posts, and tweets while trying to get in some new ones before the deadline.

This year we had the same Ignorantic celebrities from all the reality shows, our resident Ignorantic celebrity philosopher, Tyrese, and towards the end of the year, an ignorantic FB post went out to fans from Fantasia.

In 2012, YouTube was bombarded with ignorantic videos. Some of the videos made us laugh, and others were so bad, they made us cry. At the end of the year, two videos went viral that were promos for upcoming shows in 2013: All My Babies' Mamas and Best Funeral Ever.

All My Babies' Mamas on Oxygen (this video is so ignorant, YouTube keeps taking down the video)

Best Funeral Ever on TLC

these two shows were so bad that by the end of the year, there was a petition circulating to have one of the shows cancelled...but the fun didn't stop with these ignorantic shows. We had ignorantics signs, speech, tweets, FB posts, fashion, and who could forget these two ignorantic grandmothers and their antics just minutes after the birth of their grandchild:

Did she say "Call 911"? Lawd, she was already in the hospital! The grandmother who slapped her had just finished laying hands on the mother's stomach and praying for the baby! Ignorantics at its best! Now, I could not let the year go out without giving a special shout out to one of my favorite reality shows that is not necessarily ignorantic, but the ignorantic people that frequent the pawn shop...well, that's a different story:

Travaski Crystal?? Really??

One of my favorite shows to watch is BET's Sunday Best. However, this year, one of the contestants, Pastor Michael Lampkin, while auditioning could not say the word "faith". That "th" pronunciation is something we cover quite frequently on Ignorantics, but here it is:

but wait...he can SANG!!!!

Also, we had our favorite Ignorantic eCards. Here are some of our favorites:

We also loved those Ignorantics Posters on Facebook:

I told you there was more material than we expected. Please go to Part 2 for more 2012 Ignorantics and the Top 25 List of Ignorantics for 2012.

Grandmother Needed to Be Incubated

Ignorantics under duress or in distress are bound to say things that make no sense. Recently, a woman describing a procedure that had to be done to her grandmother simply stated that her "grandmother had to be incubated". Well, given the grandmother's age, she was far beyond the age to need her eggs incubated, and although they say the elderly often revert back to infantile ways in their later years, I doubt she was placed in an incubator.

I'm told that Grandma is doing just fine now after having gone through an intubation.

Glad we got that straight...Whew!!!

All My Babies' Mamas: New Reality Show on Oxygen

It just doesn't get any more ignorant than this!

Always Take Antibiotics for Shrek Throat

This summer, one of my students called me to explain that she would not be able to make it to the last summer session class because she had "shrek throat". I asked her to repeat it because there was a slim chance that her diagnosis was something unknown to me. Once again, she repeated "shrek throat". She went on to say that the doctor "subscribed" antibiotics to treat her infection and that she would be fine in about 2 weeks.

I advised her that she would be excused from the session because strep throat is highly contagious. I also told her to continue to take the "subscriptions" and read plenty of magazines because the treatment process can be a BEAST. I think it's safe to assume that she loves animated films. Carry on...

When Positive Messages Go Grammatically Wrong

This morning I woke up to a positive message on my Twitter timeline. An awesome POSITIVE message lost in a maze of grammatical errors...

Three words: Kill the messenger...(figuratively of course). Carry on...

Another Ignorantic Event Posted on Facebook

You haven't seen an invitation to an event until you have received an INVITE to an event given by an Ignorantic. The following event invite was posted on Facebook (which by the way does have auto-correct), and sent to me by one of my readers. Once again, the names have been changed to protect the ignorant. Here is the invite (copied and pasted):

Is it me or was that invite in Morse code?

On another note: I've said time and time again that Ignorantics breed on Facebook. This same reader sent me an excerpt from a conversation on her wall where one of her friends told her that he was going to take the "hirer road" when she tried to correct his Ignorantics. He continued dropping bombs by asking her to "Play fare" after she corrected him on several occasions.

I want to thank this reader for taking the "hirer" road and putting her friend on BLAST!!!

The Lack of Justice Can Be So Flusgrating!

The world that we live in has given us all cause to become social activists. One of the things that recently brought together most of the United States was the killing of the young man pictured to the left, Trayvon Martin.

For weeks, the man who killed him, George Zimmerman, went uncharged and free from arrest. For those Ignorantics who perceived this lack of justice as a form of profiling and racial discrimination, the fact that George Zimmerman had gone free without arrest for so many weeks was more than they could process. They became angry, flabergasted and for many, they became "flusgrated".

That's right...at a news conference, that word "flusgrated" was uttered along with "ignant" and a host of other ignorantic bombs that were being dropped in rapid succession. No one bothered to comment nor correct the speaker. It wasn't necessary nor would it have been appropriate. This was one of those moments when the speaker was given a universal Ignorantic pass. These gold passes are issued on occasion to Ignorantics who speak with great fervor under stress. We have to forgive. The recipients of this gold pass are allowed to speak publicly and privately despite their grammatical assaults with impunity. Issuing this pass promotes empathy for their "flusgration", and it rewards them for their sense of social justice. I received several emails asking me to put this speaker on BLAST for his detonating Ignorantics, but I just could not do it. It would have be terribly unfair.

As of the writing of this post, George Zimmerman has been arrested and was recently released on $150,000 bail. I guess this will only add to the public's growing "flusgration". Carry on...

This Ignorantic Has No Time for Bronchitis!

God Bless her though...thank God she survived the fire and no one was hurt...
