Models have superpowers too, just don't hold your breath about what those powers are!

There are people in this world that have been bestowed with a great 'gift', a special power that differentiates them from the rest of humanity. Their use of this power either elevates them to the status of Superhero or Supervillain, depending on the choices they make at key moments of their lives: rob a bank, save a cat from a tree, raid the Lindt factory, help a little old lady with her grocery bags, steal Donald Trump's entire toupee collection...

Then there are those who choose not to use their powers for good or evil, those that are afraid of what lies beneath their own potential & the choices they may have to make. They're commonly known as 'wussies' & are generally the scorn of both Supervillains and Superheroes alike - one of the few things both parties actually share.

Further still are those who possess powers that are of a very 'special' set. A set of powers so amazingly special, not because they are unique & extremely rare, but because of the potency of their 'power' & the level to which they have grown in their power.

These 'powers' are characteristics that every human possesses, but these special individuals have taken them to a level so high above the rest of us that one can only be impressed by their aptitude & the dedication they have demonstrated in the years spent honing their power.

In the last few weeks there have been plenty of examples of individuals who are super adept at stupidity.

So adept in fact, that it is a wonder that they have managed to stay alive thus far. Clearly their brains only have so much memory capacity & can only cope with a very small set of signals & instructions at the same time. How they haven't failed to stop breathing while their brain finds a memory slot for a new thought, is surprising really.

First we had the 'Tempest in a D-cup' incident where two South African models demonstrated that the concept of 'freedom of speech' can be easily misinterpreted when you're narcissistic & you don't even have 2 digits in your IQ score to rub together.

Then there's the furore over The Spear, that has seen some dazzling demonstrations by numerous individuals, of their powers of Super Stupidity.

Now another South African model has jumped on the Stupid bandwagon; Sabina Essa bragged on Twitter about bribing a police officer after being stopped for doing 140km/h in a 60 zone.

Naturally the tweet garnered much attention & criticism, as it would - not only is speeding a criminal offence, but so is bribing an officer. Of course, any idiot knows this. Nor would any idiot brag about it through a medium that instantly communicates your musings to vast groups of people...

But clearly Sabina is not an idiot, because the definition of idiot is "an utterly foolish or senseless person" & is derived from the Latin word idiōta - "person lacking skill or expertise".
So in Sabina Essa's defence, I say she is no idiot because she is definitely an expert in stupidity.
And if you think her level of stupidity is pretty impressive, prepare to be blown out of the water:

Howard Dembovsky (CEO of the Justice Project SA) was apparently 'horrified' by her boast & contacted Sabina to reprimand her. She apparently told him that the tweet was a lie & merely an attempt to get attention from her Twitter followers - because of course, she doesn't get enough attention as a model already.

But clearly someone eventually managed to get through to that vacant grey matter between her ears, because soon after that she tweeted "So sorry for my tweet. I fabricated the story to attract attention, we sometimes all do it and [I am] superembarassed".

Really Sabina? You won't believe what happened to me today; the dog ate my homework & I got abducted by aliens.  I am super embarrassed by this too! Can't believe we have so much in common...

Clearly some people should not have direct access to their own Twitter accounts & should rather employ someone to act as a filter for their stupidity.

I wonder if the Johannesburg Metro Police Department will investigate the matter further, now that they have 'hard' evidence of bribery?
