People Still Do This?
I was just watching CNN news and there was a story about a bank robbery. Remember when a bank robbery consisted of horses, a handkerchief around the face, a six shooter, and a bag of money with a giant dollar sign on it? It's so different now...first of all, there are cameras in the bank so everyone in the world can see the bank robber...and the criminals act like they don't know there are cameras. When there were NO cameras, people wore masks...now when there ARE cameras...they don't wear masks...seems backwards to me. And not only are there cameras...the whole damn scene is broadcast over the Internet.
Instead of horses, they have cars. But they can't jump off the roof into the front seat of a car like you can into the saddle of a horse. If hostages are taken, they're not tied up, thrown over the bad guy's shoulder and placed neatly onto the railroad tracks. And nobody uses dynamite anymore with the long string that attaches to the T-Bar device thingy. I don't know...maybe I've seen too many movies...maybe things never really happened this way. Maybe, as usual...I'm making shit up.

I'm almost old enough to remember the horse and hanky thing, but not quite. Brian lost his job at Verizon today. No doubt his replacement in Indonesia will be happy. Does this qualify as a kind of robbery?
I'm pretty sure it does qualify! That sucks. I'm glad I don't use Verizon for my wireless service or I would have to change carriers.
