Morons Exist

Yes, morons can be found all over the world. The lastest manifestation in Australia is a German-born soccer player called Andre Gumprecht, who plays for the Central Coast Mariners in the A League. On Monday, the Mariners had a costume party to mark the end of the season (they lost in the championship game to the Newcastle Jets).

And Gumprecht "dressed in a khaki military uniform and mustache to resemble the former German dictator."

Apparently, he didn't get the memo from Prince Harry that dressing as a Nazi to attend a party outside of Aryan Nation circles is hardly ever a good idea.

It is especially stupid given that Gumprecht is German, where doing such a thing would not only be stupid, but illegal.

Another Mariner is in trouble for the same party. Tony Vidmar dressed in white robes and put on black face, apparently to resemble Morgan Freeman in his role of God in Bruce Almighty. That was kind of dumb and insensitive, presumably spurred by the fact that Vidmar's nickname is "God." But it doesn't rise to Gumprecht's level of moronity.
