Apple Store Gets Robbed, News Squeals in Delight

A bunch of teenagers hit an apple store, grab everything in sight. Tens of thousands of dollars’ worth in computers stolen. I wouldn’t be surprised if it went out of business. But the newscaster Dan Cuellar can’t even stop himself from having so much fun with it. 46 seconds into this video, this video ceases to be news and becomes a joke.

The reporter’s so eager to play this entertaining story, so eager that it almost sounds like he’s admiring them, like it’s okay to steal or something. Um…did we forget something here? About how it’s ruinous to people and the functioning society to steal from them? Did we forget that the news was supposed to be different from the tabloids?

This is our news. This is our investigative journalism that aims to educate and inform the public. This is how low we’ve sunk as a society.

About

America isn't a healthy place. The lives that are socially acceptable for us to be living just aren't good for our bodies, our souls, or our planet. We eat food that we don't know what it's made out of, and then think we can fix it by eating more of it when it's got health claims. We send gift cards to each other, like we're incapable of telling someone how we feel about them. We hope death will go away if we just put on enough make-up. We even sell sexually revealing clothing to little girls. And at the end of the day, the simple thing is that a life built on these rules won't be satisfying or meaningful. This society provides never-ending insecurities, toys, and distractions, but not enough lessons on how to live your life proudly, and if you ever develop into a critical thinking, confident, and creative person you run against the current of thousands of advertisers and salesmen who want you to be an insecure and dependent consumer.
