Matthew McConaughey As Captain America = Worst Casting Decision In Talking Picture History?

MTV reports that Matthew McConaughey is considering the role of Captain America in the yet-uncast Avengers movie, though the article fails to mention who in their right mind is considering McConaughey for the role (is this movie executive produced by The Year 1997??)

Late last year, McConaughey didn't seem to know who Captain America' was, much less have an interest in playing him, but repeated mentions of his name with that of the patriotic leader of The Avengers may have sent the Ghosts of Girlfriends Past' star to the back-issue bin.

It sounds fun,' McConaughey told MTV News, admitting that, so far, no script has come his way.

McConaughey has long been a fan-favorite choice for the role and his name is now being tossed around with other rumored-contenders Channing Tatum and John Cena.

Granted, Captain America is a shirtless southern-accented stoner, so McConaughey has all of that going for him, but can he hold a shield? I'm skeptical.

Just to give you an idea of what this impending disaster would look like, here's an unexaggerated mock-up:
