+1 What an idiot. He must've been on drugs to think that he could pull something like that off and not get caught.
Am I the only one disturbed by the fact that these 2 crooks were shown on tv without their permission, without signing the appropriate waivers? The cable tv show should be punished.

Darwin candidates for sure! 
Does anyone remember this story about six weeks ago that I believe happened in Las Vegas?
A guy is planning to rob a certain chain restaurant, but cleverly thinks he'll catch everyone off-guard by pretending to apply for a job at the restaurant.
So, they give him a job application which he fills out, then he proceeds to stick the place up.
He gets X amount of cash, then gets away.
Well, only for a short while; this other Darwin candidate put his real name and address on the application. The cops just drove to his house and locked him up.
True story.
It takes all kinds, my friends.

Brad Barker said:to be eligible, you have to ...die.
True... but I did see one on the site where he didn't die.
He also left his wallet behind that he had taken out for the job application.Michael Jewels said:Does anyone remember this story about six weeks ago that I believe happened in Las Vegas?

My favourite came from "The Book of Heroic Failures".
Some guy burgled a factory and left his DOG behind! The cops arrived the next morning, let the dog out and followed him about three blocks home, where they arrested his owner in possession of various stolen items.

There was another one last winter where a guy broke into a store near his house in a ski mask and piled stuff in a huge bag and dragged it away. The police followed the drag marks in the snow to the guys house about a block away.

Did he get the job?

You just have to remove yourself from the gene pool. Either by dying, or otherwise losing your ability to reproduce... That guy should definately be castrated or something.
I'm thinking the robber did not know he busted in on a TV show. Then again, in small town Arkansas, Shopping Mania is probably the big deal in town every Thursday night. I like the interview with the lady missing a couple teeth. Classic!
The coyote with his head stuck in a pickle jar was funny. If the people got close enough to identify the jar, they should have been able to capture the coyote.

Proof positive to the theory that life is hard, and life is even harder when you're stupid.
