Stream is live; sister, not so much

    An 18-year-old teen couldn't put down her phone while driving and she sure as hell couldn't put it down after getting into an accident that kills her sister. I'm not going to post the video here, but it's out there for people to find. Basically she livestreams her singing as she drives. Of course she crashes the car and it picks back up with her announcing she killed her sister and she's going to jail for the rest of her life. Meanwhile she's holding her sister's lifeless body up.

    Our devices are starting to rob us of our soul.

    Huh, and I thought Snooki and The Situation were the original soul-robbing barons.

    Pretty sure that was Elvis or Rudolph Valentino. Actually it might have been Mark Twain or Hawthorne. At any rate, 'twas probably some long dead honkey.

    Man, I should have waited to start this thread because one of the teens in the car just managed to make things even better. And by better I mean makes me want to cry for society more.

    Was it the fault of the 18 year old who was driving drunk? Nope. Was it the fault of the 18 year old using a phone to video herself for Instagram? Nope. It was Social Media's fault. Yes, social media forced the 18 year 0ld to video herself while driving drunk that led to the crash.
