Outspoken political documentary pundit Michael Moore has been named Stupid Person of the Year by Time Magazine. Moore seemed ecstatic at receiving the award, believing that the title was really an honorary one.
"Time Magazine is using a double negative, which really means it is a positive," said Moore. "You see, the word stupid is a negative and the name Michael Moore is a negative, therefore they cancel each other out. So I see that this is really an Intelligent Person of the Year award. After all, only a stupid person wouldnt understand what I just said."
Time Magazine staff voted 8-1 in favor of him getting the stupidity honors.
"The vote is misleading," says Moore. "You see when one person felt I was stupid the others yelled stupid at the person saying I was stupid, therefore the vote was misinterpreted. This type of stuff goes on all the time. I hear people yelling stupid wherever I go."
Moores next documentary project is "A Year in the Life of a Stupid Person" in which cameras follow him around as he proudly flaunts the "Stupid Person of the Year" Time Magazine cover featuring him.
The one person that didnt vote Michael Moore for stupidity honors voted instead for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences organization for thinking his work was worthy of merit.
