This weeks Darwin Award goes to the Russian journalist who did a news piece for the Russian tabloids about the Wagner Mercenaries active in the Ukrainian
Taking and posting 2 pictures of the group at their headquarters some where in the Ukraine, only problem in the back left hand corner of the pictures was a plaque identifying the building
The Ukes, not being entirely stupid went to their Funk and Wagnel, identified the building, got one of their new US missiles, set the co ordinates and sent a present. Unconfirmed report on youtube were 136 dead
Now i do not know if they still have Gulags in Russia, but if i was this reporter think i would be laying low for a while

I strongly suspect that will likely be the last report from that journo.

Not really a Darwin award contender ~~ Darwin Award: One of the international honours awarded to people who supposedly help to improve the human gene pool by "removing themselves from it in a spectacularly stupid manner."
So unless the russian reporter was taken out.....with perhaps camera lense footage of the missile coming straight at them....it's not a Darwin award contender.... just a case of SMS (social media stupidity =)
The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.
Well... I cannot find anything that indicates the reporter, Sergei Sreda, died in the attack ... and thus so far, no Darwin Award for him...
....on the other hand, is there a Darwin Award for a collective of stupid people?....if there is/was, the Wagner Group nailed it B)
Hmmmm...yeah...maybe..
As for the Wagner Group, I agree. They trusted a reporter (I wouldn't even do that in Australia)....perfectly executed stupidity.

Maybe said reporter is a secret Ukrainian Spy and expert in disguise...............Remember all the movies you see where putting on a hat and glasses fools everyone...........
I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
An update
The Wagner Group used to post every day on Russian internet about the exploits of the Wagner Group
Since the bombing there has not been a post. It is believed the blogger was one of those killed

Another interesting photo of a middle aged male Russian holidaying on the Crimea coast line dressed in his Budgie smugglers with what appears to be 2 air defense rocket launchers as a back drop, posted his picture on the internet, problem was he left the co ordinates on the picture
It was not known if the Ukes had followed it up, but would be aware of the vicinity of the launchers
(Unfortunately cannot find the link, although it was high lighted on 2 sites re the war)
With this type of assistance it is no wonder Russian war stock piles are self combusting

Subject: The Annual DARWIN Awards Have Been Released!
Here is the glorious WINNER:
1. When his .38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, CA would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
And now, the honorable mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine. He submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company, expecting negligence, sent one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a Chicago blizzard. He returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff those patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash and fled, leaving his $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer.. $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?]
7. An Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided to throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. He heaved the block over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape... A similar thing happened at a Spartanburg, SC, drug store.
8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
9.. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 6 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. So the robber ordered onion rings. The clerk said those weren't available on the breakfast menu. The robber, frustrated, walked away. [*A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER]
10. A man attempted to siphon gas from a motor home parked on a Seattle street by sucking on a hose. He got more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said the man admitted to trying to steal gas, but he plugged his siphon hose into the sewage tank by mistake The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
