Bryan Moron would like to thank his parents/ancestors for cursing him with such a prophetic last name.
The man, 20-year-old Bryan Scott Moron, was driving a white Chevrolet pickup when he lost control, struck a mailbox in front of 513 Parkridge, then continued forward and hit the home at 509 Parkridge.
Moron was not injured in the accident. The arresting sergeant said Moron failed the field sobriety tests. The arrest report shows that Moron was more than twice over the legal limit with a blood alcohol content of 0.178.
He was transported to the Johnson County Law Enforcement Center on Saturday. Moron is employed as a server at an area restaurant.
The report also lists failure to control speed as a contributing factor in the accident.
For more information about this release, call the public information officer at 817-447-5400, ext. 286.

This response is regurgitated simply because you deserve no better. Copy and paste to the ingenuous.
My family’s ancestors came from Spain and currently live there and in Mexico, Argentina, and the United States as well as other regions of the world. I realize you may find it hard to believe that anyone would find pride in this family name that you consider derogatory. Yet there are some of us who are proud of our heritage. My son Bryan may have not made the best of decisions, but to insinuate that simply by names sake he was destined to make any and all mistakes leaves me to feel you are an idiot. And since I consider you an idiot I can not expect you to have researched our family name or anything else for that matter. I know had his last name been Smith, Jones or Johnson his act would have gone unnoticed. As well, I realize it is a waste of my time in responding to your posting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mor%C3%B... Morón de la Frontera is a Spanish town in Seville province, Andalusia, 63 km South-East of Seville. It is primarily known as being home to Morón Air Base. The most remarkable monuments are the Moorish castle ruins and the main church (San Miguel). The town had a population of approximately thirty thousand people in 2002.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mor%C3%B... Morón is a city in the Argentine province of Buenos Aires, capital of the Morón Partido, located in the Gran Buenos Aires metropolitan area, at 34°39′S, 58°37′W. easily reached with bus and the TBA railway lines (Train Buenos Aires) from the Buenos Aires centre. The city, which was originally settled in the 1500s, has a large population of Italian descent; hence Italy maintains a consulate in the city.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot Idiot is a word derived from the Greek ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs ("person lacking professional skill," "a private citizen," "individual"), from ἴδιος, idios ("private," "one's own").[1] In Latin the word idiota ("ordinary person, layman") preceded the Late Latin meaning "uneducated or ignorant person."[2] Its modern meaning and form dates back to Middle English around the year 1300, from the Old French idiote ("uneducated or ignorant person").
I wonder if you spent anytime celebrating the accomplishments of Willie B. Fielder, or are you only interested in sensationalism? Be selfless and do something positive, find a way.

Mr. Morón, I'm sure this is a sensitive subject for you, and I personally appreciate that you took the time to complain.
You're certainly right that Smith wouldn't have elicited this particular joke, though I can imagine it'd be funny if there were a marijuana activist named Mary Jane, a person named Jones with a drug problem, or a person named Johnson pretty much any time.
As someone with an unusual name, I've heard plenty of stupid jokes about it. Mine hasn't ended up the butt of a joke in the media, so you're definitely one up there. But puns are often made with names; please don't cast this as a racial issue. And certainly, the joke wouldn't have been as funny if the accent over the "o" were respected. That'd be like spelling my name, Dunck, correctly, when making the obvious "slam dunk" joke.

You'd think that Xavier and his family would have heard enough of this by now that they simply disregard the satire and move on. As someone whose name (both first and last) is easily utilized for a variety of cracks, I learned a loooong time ago to just play the hand I'm dealt.
From toilet paper (which unfortunately is also in proximity of a potty), to linens that soak up your soup, to Brad Pitt screwing a girlfriend...it's pretty much fair game. Granted, it's not blatant like Morón, but I'll always hear these things. Can you really live a happy life if you get uppity about this?
Either way, A+ article; would read again!

Scott, as one of the resident film critics, I have to correct you -- that's Matt Damon, not Brad Pitt. But that was probably the funniest scene in Eurotrip (not that that's saying much). Sorry, Scotty.

Oh, my apologies. I tend to block out that scene considering my amazingly compassionate friends endlessly cited it after an ex cheated on me (not that I wouldn't have done same, but c'mon). That, and I can't view YouTube from work.
You got the point!

In that case, you'll have to wait until you get home to appreciate this.

Señor Morón, while we appreciate the lesson in linguistics, it doesn't really change the fact that your son got drunk and mistook a mailbox for an onramp and a house for a highway. If that doesn't excuse an opportunity for a few jokes, I don't know what does. Please rest assured that I won't make light of anyone in your family unless they expose themselves to ridicule by doing something moronic.

From wiki on moron. Of course, I don't believe everything I read. I still think they're related.
Moron was originally an English scientific term, coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the Greek word moros meaning "dull" (as opposed to sharp) and used to describe a person with a mental age between 8 and 12 on the Binet scale. It was also once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70 and was a step up from "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and two steps up from "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The word moron, along with "retarded" and "feeble-minded" (among others), was once considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, though these words have all now passed into common slang use, exclusively in a detrimental context.

I think the Black Eyed Peas would disagree with you on "retarded" being used only in a detrimental way, with the exception of it being detrimental to their radio play.

Ok, I'm sorry to say I don't know how to make the accent mark on my keyboard (I know, I'm a ... well, never mind). Like Scott, I also think that the family would have become accustomed to such jokes. Old hat, you know? And not to add any fuel to the fire, but I'm not sure I would have given my son a name with the initials B.S. if I had a difficult to deal with last name. Just sayin.

Would it be politically correct to replace 'moronic' with 'Bryanic' in this case? There's no funny accent to confuse people, and we're limiting the funny to one person instead of a lineage.
Let me know, b/c this could affect my day-to-day conversation.
