A car full of teenagers has managed to set a new benchmark for ‘world’s most disaffected youth’ this week. Australian authorities were stunned on Monday when a troupe of adolescents ordered takeout—McDonalds, to be precise—and had it delivered to them at the site of a fatal car crash in which they’d just been involved.
News.com.au reports that an underage, unlicensed driver and his equally prepubescent passengers sat idly by and ate hamburgers and fries while residents near the crash struggled to help the elderly couple they’d recently killed. One awestruck witness gave his account of the strange sight: “They just stood there, and then they sat down and then someone dropped Maccas off to them.” Chilling.
Maybe it’s the fact that these kids didn’t much care about their victims being pulled out of a car by the Jaws of Life that incensed me in this story; but really, I think it’s more about the poor choice of crash site grub. Haven’t these douchebags seen Supersize Me? Perhaps this is fate, though; the effects of the horrible food will reap karmic revenge on these misfits over the next many decades, and the souls of the deceased will finally be appeased upon their cholesterol-fueled demise. God is good.
