This Whole Thing Just Reduces The Collective IQ Another Few Points
-
By now, you've probably seen the story about the Dutch girl who tweeted a threat to do something bad to an American Airlines flight, and how the airline tweeted back that they'd get the IP address to the FBI, and the girl's subsequent "I was hacked - no, it was a joke - I'm white" reaction. And, yeah, she was being a stupid teen, but do you throw the book at her to scare others off from joking about this stuff? I mean, even a teen can't be so stupid as to make even a joke terrorist threat. Hard to feel sympathy for her. But the dumbest people in this stupid story are the people who immediately followed her on Twitter. Do they think she's funny, or smart, or at all worth following? Apparently so. Another sign of the End Times, I guess. (New York Daily News)
