Due to an utterly tragic and ever-expanding series of hamfisted misunderstandings, UNT psychology freshman Todd Chester mistakenly believes that the city of Ferguson — a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, currently embroiled in racially-motivated riots following the decision of a grand jury not to charge white police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown — is actually a character from “The Cosby Show.”
“I saw a bunch of cops and people going crazy on TV, and they kept talking about Ferguson,” Chester explained, painfully unaware of his own cringe-inducing jackassery. “And then I remembered there was some thing on BuzzFeed last week about all those women accusing Bill Cosby of rape, and I started thinking, wasn’t there a guy on ‘The Cosby Show’ named Ferguson? That’s when all the pieces fell together,” he said, describing his cockeyed theory while somehow avoiding open manholes and other hazards commonly encountered by simpletons.
“Like, one of the Huxtable kids had him as a really tough substitute teacher on some episode. Or maybe there was an Uncle Ferguson. He might have been a guest star,” Chester pondered, wracking a brain with lower voltage than a potato-powered clock.
The notable dolt went on to state that he actually believes the rioters in Ferguson are protesting the removal of “The Cosby Show” from television syndication, rather than what they view as a racially-motivated, police-sponsored murder.
“I don’t understand why they don’t just buy the DVDs,” the idiot mused.
The full-blown bumpkin then explained that while he thinks Cosby’s alleged sexual assaults should be exposed, he understands the importance of “The Cosby Show” to the black community.
“I can see why they might be mad about losing such a great show,” Chester said, somehow continuing to breathe unaided. “Losing your faith in a great role model like Bill Cosby could make anyone want to riot.”
Despite Chester’s inability to understand a news story without fucking it up completely, his peers still hold the assclown’s brain in high regard.
“It’s really admirable that Todd stays so informed on current events,” said his roommate Patrick Dylan. “I’ve never even heard of Ferguson.”
