    Not news… Please, stop making stupid people famous. Or at least, stop writing about them…

      They’re stupid, but also dangerously influential. They’re important people to keep an eye on. This is news.

      Definitely news. This also sends a message to other people trying to mimic them.

      Plus it’s not only news. It’s good news.

      I had never heard of this dude before he was arrested. But do you know who had? My thirteen year old daughter. I’m cool with the current turn of events.

      While I agree and also complain about this, I draw the exception at reporting when justice is being served. Good god, what a way to start the day!
