Junk Food For The Soul

I know some people who may not be quite as hip to the whole Internet generation seem to think that YouTube and similar sites are to blame for people taping themselves doing stupid things and then posting them to the sites. But I’m actually thankful to have sites like YouTube. Without them people would just commit crimes and then possibly get away with it.

Thanks to YouTube and the like we can now catch these idiots. Like the FL kids (sigh … another example of how whacked out my home-state is) who were just ordered to post an apology on YouTube for posting a video of themselves throwing a drink at the Taco Bell drive-thru clerk. A short 10-12 years ago when I was young and stupid I knew people who did similar stupid acts and none of them were ever punished for it. The only way they would get caught was to do the crime right in front of a cop. Now they are essentially providing the police all the evidence they need to catch them. The cops just sit back and reel them in.
