CBS 12 in Palm Beach obsessed with two local, thieving teenage girls
Posted By Erin Rice in Square Pegs on May 30, 2008
A co-worker clued me in to these videos featuring a couple of teenage girls from Palm Beach, Florida. CBS 12 went uber-neighborhood deep when they decided to cover the capers of these two teens who admitted on camera to stealing money from a nine-year-old girl scout. But, it's not just one story. No, no. There were four segments dedicated to these Paris Hilton meets a trailer park wannabes. YouTube user, astroboy23, is my hero for providing today's quota of irony, hilarity, and shame all rolled into one... well, four.
My favorite part is CBS 12's "attempt" at obscuring the girls' faces. Let's see -- I can hear her actual voice, I can see that she has bright red hair, her features are barely obscured -- hmm, is that Julie? Man, if I was a witness in a criminal case or anyone else who really needed their face hidden, I would stay as far away as possible from CBS 12.
Okay, my second favorite part is the opening line of the field reporter's piece in the third video: "At this Boynton Beach restaurant, coffee is brewing...and so is the controversy." Now that's good writing.
