There's stupid, and then there's ...


... this idiot:

The Missouri Valley Conference barred certain cheerleading stunts during this week's women's basketball tournament, a precaution taken after a Southern Illinois cheerleader plunged 15 feet and landed on her head...

Salukis cheerleader Kristi Yamaoka was left with a concussion and a cracked neck vertebra when she fell during a timeout in Sunday's MVC men's championship game.

She drew national attention as she was wheeled off the court. She gave a two-handed thumbs up while strapped to a gurney, then made cheerleading moves with her arms in time to the band's playing of the school fight song.

Yessir, nothing says "potentially serious spinal cord injury" like doing jerky, animated cheerleading moves while being wheeled out on a gurney. Hey, it's the first thing that would occur to me.

But, but, but-- she's just so...spunky! and perky! and cute! Oh, and did I mention brave? And don't forget, blond! America has found its new lil' sweetheart (provided, of course, that she can walk again -- in a wheelchair, not so much)
