Are Idiots
Here's my latest rant on the Barefoot Bandit!
Do you know what burns my bacon? The Barefoot Bandit has more than 80,000
Barefoot Bandit Facebook page friends on Facebook.
Are you kidding me? You mean to tell me that 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore is an Internet sensation because he allegedly broke into homes, stole cars, planes and boats, all while barefoot because he was too stupid to wear sneakers?
Are people that dense that they would rather rally around this alleged international criminal instead of an honest citizen, like 17-year-old Jack Wen, who has been donating his hard-earned money to help the Southern Oklahoma Nutrition Program (SONP).
Jack says after contacting the SONP, he enrolled in the Adopt-A-Senior Program and began donating $60 from each paycheck every month, which pays for two senior citizens to receive a month’s worth of free meals,” reported KXII-TV News
KXII-TV story.
But there are no Facebook fan pages for Wen. Of course not, because apparently helping society isn’t as cool as breaking the law and being a little punk who put a gun to his head when cornered by police, reported CNN
CNN story.
It was bad enough that Generation Apathy worshipped the bulimic celebrity reality-TV demi-gods, but now they’ve lowered their standards to a shockingly new low and decided to fall to their knees for an alleged criminal.
Let’s see how much they would love The Shoeless Wonder, who was a fugitive for two years, if they were his alleged victims and stolen their property.
And where does this new generation draw the line in their criminal worship? Will armed-bank robbers and rapists be the new rage?
But there is always a mixture of awe and disgust when you see how society takes another leap into the toilet when they decide to hero worship the Barefoot Bandit.
