Take Your Kid To “Work”
Friday, January 20th, 2012 • Filed under Robberies • 3 Comments
A lot of kids are expected to follow in their parents’ footsteps. Think Michael Bluth, Frodo Baggins, and Jesus. This is acceptable in our society…unless the parent is an idiot, a criminal, or a member of the Jersey Shore cast.

You can tell a lot about a person from their Facebook profile picture. Some girls really have a thing for bathrooms, while others enjoy using obscure angles of their heavily made-up eyeballs. And then you have the brave adventurers who combine both.
Just Slept Through My Alarm…

Sleeping on the job is probably never a good idea. Unless, of course, you’re a mattress tester. Does that career even exist? “Rise and shine, ma’am. Your shift’s over, you can go home now.” “Aww…” Uh, sign me up.

Ahh, sibling rivalry. It’s been in place since the two of you fought over who got to eat the last bowl of Cocoa Puffs, and still pops back up at family reunions over whose kid won the board game.
Masks Are Too Mainstream…

We all know people who are ashamed of their looks. Then we know people who are “ashamed of their looks”. You know what I’m talking about, the teenage girls who take eight million Facebook webcam photos of themselves, all with a caption like “omgg look how uglyy i am </3”. And the comments below are usually even more sickening.

But You Didn’t Even Finish Counting…

It occurred to me, while watching one of my favorite Disney musical numbers, that it is actually rather improbable for a bunch of cats and their musical instruments to fall through five or six floors in a building. OH, while staying in one piece, and maintaining their song. But frankly, most TV isn’t any less ridiculous.

Acting is always a good talent to have and develop. It’s a bit like lying, which is always helpful to be an expert in when faced with tight situations. Although being a broccoli stalk in your second grade performance of “Nutrition Is Our Friend” doesn’t really count as Broadway-bound talent.
However, this lady in Georgia is certainly working her way up. Desperate for money, her robbery technique was to knock on people’s doors and say that her car had broken down. Next she asked to make a phone call, but seemingly got no answer. She also asked to use their restroom before leaving. After the woman thanked the residents and left, they discovered they were suddenly missing cash, wallets, credit cards, etc. Her scam was going well, until one of the victims offered to try and fix her car. Needless to say, it started right up. According to the JC Herald, she bolted straight out of there. It also turned out that the number she had been “calling” was her own, leading the police straight to the wannabe damsel-in-distress.

Going along with the technology theme…what is the big deal with Apple products? What if I DON’T want my cell phone to play music, surf the net, voice-text 400 people at a time, AND shave my legs for me?
But iPads are definitely popular right now. Apparently, even among criminals. (Hey, THEY need to shave, too.) Two men in Georgia broke into Target with a crowbar, broke the glass case, and stole eighteen iPads. All in just seconds, according to AJC. This would’ve been impressive, if it hadn’t been for the security camera. And technology is supposed to make stuff easier for the dimwits…
