I Don't Get It

I have been awake only 2 1/2 hours this morning and have already seen two things that I don't understand. People choose to do some really silly things.

Example #1:
A car in front of me on the expressway this morning had a bumper sticker that read "Jesus was a blonde."

First of all, the car was a very nice Mercedes convertible. Why would you defile such a beautiful car with such a dumb bumper sticker? Secondly, how does the driver know Jesus was a blonde and why does it matter? If you are going to put a bumper sticker on a car, at least make it something that will get people thinking, not one that people can't understand.

Example #2:
I read an article this morning on CNN.com regarding a couple who have been stopped by the New Zealand government from naming their child 4real. Their thought was that they realized having a baby was "for real" and if they named the baby 4real, the baby would know what the name meant without having to look it up somewhere. All I can say to that is REALLY????? Why in the world would anyone think that someone would ever say later in life after being named 4real that they were so glad their parents didn't name them Michael because you have to look up the meaning? The New Zealand government told the couple that they couldn't name thier child 4real because it has a number as part of the spelling. I would have just told them that is was a dumb idea.
