Something went wrong and I won the February contest with this image.

In honour of that poor decision and my spilling a cup of tea over my MacBook Pro, this month's theme is Stupidity. Stupid situations, people about to do unwise things, the results of poor decision making. And so forth. Remember that this is a photo contest, so a link to your post history isn't eligible.

RULES:
This thread is for posting pics & voting.
1. One submission/poster. Note that you can change your submission as many times as you want, so long as you only have one entry when the voting begins! Edit your post to do this, please.
2. Single photos only - no video, triptychs, or multi-photo entries. Blending exposures into a single image (such as focus stacking, or HDR), is ok though.
3. Photos must be taken during the period of the contest. No pulling out old favorites!
4. Contest will be open until the last day of the month at 11:59 p.m. EST after which voting will begin.
5. Voting will continue until some time after that, probably around midnight of the 2nd.
6. Also, I guess no :nsfw: images? If someone has a kick rear end NSFW idea, i dunno?
7. When voting, please deploy the spoiler tag.

I or SoundMonkey reserve the right to change the rules in case I missed something really obvious that probably won't affect anyone.

Winner picks the next theme, and makes the new thread!

Not sure if it's a statement of rebellion or some sexual Stasi headquarters.

Stupid because this is 7 stops of cheap ND filters and a CPL that formed a lovely 4 filter stack to get another fucken long exposure waterfall.

I call this one 'poking a hole in the bellows'.

I'll start the voting tomorrow when I get up, so you have about 12 hours from the time of this post to get in any final entries.

I tried to get a shot at a red light of the March for our Lives rally in Boston Common last week. Stupidly I only had my phone.

Hey thanks!
New thread is over here. This is only my 3rd month in the dorkroom so I don't know if this is good or even original.
