Some hot bitches thought it would be a really clever idea to shoplift to catch their jollies. They thought it would be an even better idea to indulge in their fame-whore side, phone up and disclose their hobby to prime time TV show, Dr Phil, and let the world know what they have been doing.
All sounds awesome so far right. Idiocy, awesome. Fame-whoring, awesome. Free shit, super awesome!
Seriously though. Darwin is rolling in his grave right now. Being enough of an egotistical douche to think that secretly taping and then broadcasting to millions the ‘secrets’ of how to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars of merchandise per year is a great idea, is enough to qualify you to be forcibly removed from the gene pool.
From Consumerist, last week a fraud task force raided the home of Laura and Matthew Eaton, who appeared on an episode in November to show the audience how they stole and to say they were going straight.
A Secret Service field agent told the San Diego Union-Tribune that so far there have been no arrests or indictments as “it’s still early on in the investigation,” but we can’t imagine that nationally admitting you’re a big-time shoplifter—and even bringing cameras along to prove you can do it—is the sort of thing that helps your case.
So, I’m thinking we push them off a bridge, or shall we just poke them in the eye really hard, until they promise never to steal again.
You must have it wrong, the “WOMAN” looks more manly than my dad. She has got to be packing heat in her skirt!
I guess I must be wrong
pushing them off the bridge would be nice, but first i think we need to find out if that chick really is a chick. she looks to manly to be fully female…or is it just me?
I have no idea, as it’s just us, let’s say she is a dude. Who’s gonna tell her eh?
I love how our culture’s obsession with “fame” is bringing out all the idiots… teens who put up photos of themselves using drugs on their MySpace, ditto photos of themselves naked, people who video and then YouTube their acts of vandalism, violating every traffic law in a 20-mile radius, physical/sexual assault, etc…
This couple and the wonderfully divorced-from-reality Nadya Suleman, going as public as she can possibly get with all the fallout she’s going to experience once her “disability”/unemployment/food stamps etc claims are all thoroughly investigated (not to MENTION the child-safety issues), are shining examples of people who want to be “famous” so badly that they completely lose what little minds they had.
By the way, I have to tell you: I feel SO. DUMB. right now. Although I first found the site shortly after the Rihanna/Chris Brown thing, and have been checking back sporadically, it was only about 15 minutes ago that the “Amy Grindhouse/Amy Winehouse” connection finally clicked. And I ::heart:: Amy Winehouse, so I really should have picked up on that sooner.
I’ll just sit here with my dunce cap on for a bit, then… (c:
Hey, glad you did stumble on me and you are always welcome to come over/ chat and hang out.
The people above are so indicative of the obsession with the everyday person who makes fame their goal in life. For example, (though I cannot remember the exact study) a study here in the UK said the majority of tweenage girls want to be a celebrity when they grow up. Not have any kind of real vocation, just to be famous.
There is no longer a concept of studying and walking the traditional well-worn path.
Lastly, the site name was one of a few hundred I chewed over before creating this site. I’d made and deleted/ conceptualised and gotten bored of about 20 sites, before I made and grew the site you see today. The name just kind of stuck and virtually everyone I come a cross has a reaction to it. Guess I chose well! (Please feel free to take your cap off now).

I’m wondering if they thought they wouldn’t be caught, especially after coming public. What a thing.
Welcome Lady Mystery and thanks for the support on BlogCatalog. They seem too dim to have thought that far ahead.
