My super power

I watch the tv show Heroes. I L-O-V-E this show. I love the story line, most of the characters and the way it's laid out like a comic book. I got my mom, "best" friend and co-worker hooked on the show, so now we all watch it, semi-religiously.

One day, my mom and I were talking about what super power we wold like to have if such a thing were possible. I chose the ability to make stupidity painful.

I would have the ability to inflict pain on willfully ignorant people. Like a shock collar for a dog, if I hear someone running their mouth in an especially moronic fashion I could just "zzzt", send a small electrical shock their way to get their attention. If their stupidity persists, and lessons aren't learned from the warning zap, I would have the ability to physically shut their mouth, yank their tongue, or, in severe cases, kick them in their junk. Maybe it would make some of these assholes think before they spew forth their retardation. It's just such a shame you can't actually fix stupitidy.
