I think your understanding of Darwinism is lacking, to say the least. The theory of natural selection refers to the propagation of positive traits and the removal of negative traits of a species as a whole. It has nothing to do with an individual organism's procreation.
The common understanding of who deserves a "Darwin Award", is someone who dies because of their stupidity.
The actual winners of the "Darwin Award" is anyone that dies without breeding.
So these are some of the most likely actual "Darwin Award" winners:
- Aisha Tyler
- Ann Coulter
- Ann-Margret
- Betty White
- Bo Derek
- Chelsea Handler
- Chrisopher Walken
- Condoleezza Rice
- Debbie Harry
- Diane Sawyer
- Dolly Parton
- Ellen DeGeneres
- Fran Drescher
- Helen Mirren
- Hodo Kotb
- Jennifer Aniston
- John Cusack
- Jon Hamm
- Kathy Bates
- Lisa Lampanelli
- Liza Minnelli
- Margaret Cho
- Marisa Tomei
- Matt Dillon
- Megan Mullaley
- Mickey Rourke
- Pam Grier
- Patrick Swayze
- Renee Zellweger
- Star Jones
- Stevie Nicks
- Stockard Channing
- Tyra Banks
- Winona Ryder
No need to expand the list. It is just interesting that death is associated with the Darwin Award when in reality it is lack of procreation that wins the award.
If you people start breeding in my water cooler, I'm outta here.
Bingo! The "winners" are actually the losers. Just as the "loser" on The Biggest Loser is actually the winner.

Ok, so are you creating a website to leverage this information?
Folks this is in the OFF-TOPIC section. So consider it water-cooler conversation.
Marissa Tomei? What a shame!
My apologies, I was trying to show that you can make a fastlane business out of anything.[
@MJ DeMarco, you took the words out of my mouth, thank you. Ditto, on Marissa Tomei, and to think George Costanza just missed the chance to take her off this list. Caah..STANZA!
Though, I still don't understand the context of why this post was made.
Not everybody who wants child will have one. This is a sad truth
Yes, unfortunately evolution doesn't care.What if you die before you have a chance to breed?
I don't see how very desirable people not passing along their genes is considered a "winner".
How does lack of procreation win the award? If anything it’s the opposite of Darwinism when good genes aren’t passed along.
Bingo! The "winners" are actually the losers. Just as the "loser" on The Biggest Loser is actually the winner.This is the opposite of Darwinism. This is more the point of Idiocracy.
The Darwin Awards are meant to highlight human stupidity. From a evolutionary perspective the stupidest people are those people with positive traits that don't breed because they are preventing their positive traits from continuing. The movie clip posted above captures it perfectly.Still makes no sense at all. You lost me.
