I feel it's a bit harsh to say that a person outright deserves to die simply because they were being foolish (even if these are just fictional characters). That, and the entry doesn't actually give much in the way of examples of their idiocy; the entry needs more context. The only example given is the hair drying thing, but well, if he had a loud device on at the time, then that seems a fairy reasonable explanation for why he didn't hear the zombie approaching. Feel free to re-add Idiot Ball though if anyone can think of any furhter examples.
