This week, it’s about people who don’t plan carefully. After seeing the 3D version of Titanic earlier this month, it made me realise how important it is to plan carefully. On the real voyage, two thirds of the passengers and crew died because there weren’t enough lifeboats. The death toll aboard the RMS Titanic was almost half that of 9/11, all because of carelessness as far as planning its trip to New York went.
On that note, the co-Bellends of the Month for April 2012 are anyone who played a part in creating this disaster. This is the second posthumous award, the second award given on the same day as a Weekly Gross-out, and the second award to more than one person. However, this is the first award to be given for actions that did not take place in the month of the award, and also the first award not to be given to named persons. This award includes the people who didn’t foresee that there would be so many people on board, and therefore didn’t include enough lifeboats for everybody to be saved. It also includes the people who started lowering the first few lifeboats at less than full capacity. Had EVERY lifeboat been filled to full capacity before sailing off, then a few hundred more lives could’ve been saved. And last but not least, there’s also the issue of the joker who thought it would be a good idea to just go round the iceberg. They could’ve avoided the iceberg by stopping until the iceberg was well out of the way or finding a different route to New York on which the ship would be nowhere near the iceberg.
