Dumb people are dumb. Seriously, are people really that stupid to jump in with some polar bears? Bigger and meaner than a grizzly, umm, no thanks.

The lady getting mauled by the polar bear is a PERFECT example of what Darwin's been trying to teach us since Origin of Species.

The fact that we saved her is like slapping Darwin in the face.

Please, stop slapping Darwin in the face.

The ultimate winner of the Darwin award (and he will never, ever be ousted from his supreme position) is that guy who lived with the Grizzly bears and kept teasing them until they finally ripped him apart.

He truly earned his Darwin award by taunting nature in such a blatantly stupid manner. It killed him before he got a chance to pass on his DNA and he even got his girlfriend killed at the same time.

As far as the polar bear story goes, stupidity alone is rarely enough to make someone act that way (although my previous post illustrates an obvious exception). I think it's more likely to be drugs or alcohol, or perhaps mental illness.

Yep, jumping into a cage with SEVERAL 600-pound carnivores is obviously a smart thing to do.

Youre not the only one...

I like how its titled Polar Bear Attacks Woman.. Seeing she jumped into the cage, shouldnt it be the other way around?

She could have been like Brick and just cuddled with the bear.

Brick, where did you get a hand grenade?

Brick, I think you killed someone. You might want to lay low for a while.

Youre invited to my Pants Party.

I heard their periods attract (polar) bears. The bears can smell the menstruation.

seriously though, what gets me is the "During feeding time" part.

that just takes it to a whole new realm of unprecedented idiocy. "Not only am I going to jump into a confined space with a 1000 pound killing machine, I'm going to do it when it's hungry and devouring everything in sight. Maybe it will play with me!"

Then again,this could be a perfectly failed suicide attempt.
Life sucks,I'm gonna jump onto a polar beer
DURING THE FEEDING TIME!

Then again this,too,leads to Einsteins quote.

Wow. That's really interesting. You see I also have that skill when looking for chicks to eat.
