Kids Nowadays, Etc.

Seaside Hights is the only shore town that might rival Wildwood for trashiness. It also recently had an awesome, awesome crime.

An adult used a toddler to steal the purse of a worker at a Seaside Heights boardwalk arcade, sneaking the child under a swinging door to pull off the midnight theft, according to a report in the Home News Tribune.

The adult, who is also carrying a skateboard, walks about the arcade with the children before using his or her foot to push the little girl under a short, swinging door to have the child steal the purse of a woman who works at the arcade.

What? The adult's just teaching the kid to be fiscally responsible at a young age. There's video here.

"This Fox 5 exclusive is incredible not because of the crime itself but because of who the thief is -- a little girl not old enough to go to kindergarten, but what she's learning is frightening. And it raises serious questions about the adult who is with her."

What kind of questions?

I was about to say the same thing! It's hilarious how some knucklehead writes a caption for that story without thinking about what the hell he/she is saying. Is there a more overused, misused cliche than "raises serious questions?" Is there some moral quandry here? The dude's a scumbag!

Serious questions like "does he have photos of Alycia Lane in a bikini?" and "is he willing to share them"?

Duh.

Think how much cooler this guy would be if he used his thieving toddler for GOOD rather than evil. He could steal Alycia Lane's bikini photos out of her purse. I assume she carries them around with her.

"Snatches the purse, like a mouse snatches a piece of cheese." Hahahahaha.

just go to fucking church where you belong and stop talking about mice in snatches full of cheese.

Apparently the man-woman simply wasn't thin enough to commit the crime him-herself! I smell a Pulitzer.
