2 Absolutely Stupid Things I Saw Online This Weekend [PHOTOS]

You can't fix stupid, and after seeing these two things this weekend I really wish you could.

Stupid Thing #1

I'm in full Star Wars anticipation mode right now, so I clicked on something that showed up in my feed titled "Here's What 13 Of Your Favorite "Star Wars" Actors Look Like Now." The funny thing is, I already knew what they look like now because they're all out in public right now in anticipation of the new Star Wars movie The Force Awakens, but stupid me I clicked anyway.

When I did, I saw this.

Do you see the stupid here?

Look closely at the image of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia on the left. See her wrists and elbows?

That's an action figure! This one...

Hot Toys is releasing this very realistic action figure soon. It's so realistic that the people at clipd.com couldn't tell the difference. So what did Carrie Fisher look like then? A hard piece of plastic.

By the way, if you want to pre-order your hard piece of plastic Princess Leia, you can right now for $204.99 plus shipping and handling. If you don't care about realistic, this one will run you $36 on ebay.

The photo of Carrie Fisher from today is a promotional shot for the Hallmark Channel movie It's Christmas, Carol! Carrie stars as Eve, a ghost in a modern day spin on A Christmas Carol. You can watch it November 30th on...you guessed it...the Hallmark Channel.

Stupid Thing #2

The PTO at my kid's school did their annual fundraiser by selling stuff from one of those catalogs. You know the kind where it's a bunch of stuff that's overpriced and you might use only once. Especially if you're me. What am I going to do with a $30 set of four pot holders?

Anyway, they also do magazine subscriptions. I don't read magazines, but Entertainment Weekly was on the list and included the digital edition, so I figured okay. It's going to help the school right?

I received a voucher in the mail that I can use to order my subscription online. I went through the process and now I have Entertainment Weekly for a year and a half. Great.

Now when I'm done, the website asks me to take a survey, and here's question number 1.

If you can figure out how to answer this question with the two choices they've given, you are WAY smarter than me. I figured whatever answer I chose would be wrong, so I let this $100 reward opportunity pass me by.

Next time I'll just give the PTO cash and call it good.

UPDATE: Turns out Lori is smarter than I am and so you probably are too. I read the question as if they were asking if I redeemed the subscription for myself or a family member never thinking it could be someone else. I expected the choices to be yourself or family member.

I'll just be hiding over here in the corner.
