Block of wood iPad

Ashley McDowell of Spartanburg, South Carolina. This woman is so dumb she shouldn’t be let out of the house without parental supervision. For 180 bucks, she bought a block of wood believing it was an iPad. It doesn’t get any dumber than this. Remember what I said about stupid people getting what they deserve? Case in point.

“Spectacularly stupid.”

That’s what Gawker is calling Ashley McDowell, the woman who bought a block of wood with an Apple logo on it, thinking it was an iPad.

Two men approached McDowell in a South Carolina McDonald’s parking lot and told her they had a special deal on new iPads. They wanted $300 for their specially-painted block of wood, but when McDowell only had $180, they decided to make the deal anyway. It wasn’t until McDowell got home that she realized her super cool new gadget was really a wooden block.

There’s more.

After McDowell realized her mistake, she called the police  and they actually launched an investigation into the duplicitous scammers. McDowell claims that the men told her they bought the iPads in bulk and were selling them at a discount.
