Last week, we here at I’m With Stupid brought you the disturbing tale of Ardi Rizal, a 2-year-old Indonesian boy who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day. Forty cigarettes every day is a few too many for a toddler, to be sure, but Ardi’s bigger problem was that he didn’t look fabulous while smoking them. He wore a trashy tank top and a leather jacket that looked like he swiped it from the set of a “Grease” revival. Worst of all, though, he was wearing plain, boring diapers.

OK, I never saw it either, but it got me thinking about how I’d like to produce a similar documentary, only this one would be about a guy who gets killed by dragons.
I know what you’re thinking: How could you do a documentary about dragons? Dragons aren’t real. Well, that’s where you’re wrong, brainiac. Dragons are real. It’s a little known fact that the original “Godzilla” was made with archival footage shot by a terrified geisha who hid under an overturned bus for a week and survived by eating her own toes.
