The dumbest movie in recent memory, The Day After Tomorrow apparently was rather inspiring to some people.
There was no "Day After Tomorrow" for Charles Alton Adams' mobile home, which the south Georgia man told police he set on fire after watching the disaster movie and drinking beer.

Adams, 32, walked into the Crisp County Law Enforcement Center early Thursday and told deputies he had burned down the doublewide home.

He told deputies that after watching "The Day After Tomorrow," a special-effects extravaganza depicting deadly natural disasters caused by global warming, and drinking nine or 10 beers, he decided to set fire to pillows on his bed.

When asked why, Crisp County Sheriff Donnie Haralson said, "I have asked that question myself. ... The whole thing just doesn't really make sense."

Haralson said Adams was been charged with arson. He remained jailed Friday as family members attempted to raise money for his bond.
Surprising things about this story:
  • Someone not only watched this steamin' turd of a movie, but was also inspired by it
  • Alton Adams lived in a trailer
  • Alcohol was involved
  • He's having a hard time raising bail
