One of the best one-liners in the history of movies, it is said. Uttered by the beloved character Forrest Gump in the movie of the same title. From 1994, we bring you this:
"Stupid is as stupid does."
Perhaps one of the more influential quotes in all of moviedom -- and perhaps one of the most damaging.
To society.
We listen to our icons. We follow them. We parrot them.
If it is okay for them to call people stupid, it is okay for us to do it. If it is funny, it is funny. Let us laugh at others and call them stupid.
"Stupid is as stupid does."
We must wonder if more lessons are learned in a movie theater than are ever learned in church.
And, some of them aren't good.
