Incomprehensibly stupid

Florida mother arrested after filming viral video of daughter licking tongue depressor, putting it back at doctor's office by Jessica Campisi.

The incident is the latest in a string of viral videos featuring people licking various items. A video of an unidentified woman licking a tub of ice cream in a Texas Walmart and placing it back in the freezer gained national attention. She was arrested and could face a second-degree felony charge of tampering with a consumer product, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Her video has since inspired copycats in other states, including Louisiana, where a man was arrested for opening a tub of ice cream in a store, licking it and returning it to the shelf.

What is this - competitive stupidity. What on earth could inspire someone to see a video of a disgusting anti-social act which is also illegal, and then think - "I want to do that."

Of course it is hard to determine relative stupidity. The one who films themselves doing such a thing and posting it to social media or the one who sees it on social media and thinks "Good Idea!"
