Bad Rap
It’s a small town. Wire, with a Boston Herald assist:
AMERICAN FORK, Utah - McDonald’s wasn’t lovin’ it. But maybe these kids deserve a break today.
Four Utah teens are in the fry-o-lator, cited for disorderly conduct for rapping their order at a Mickey D’s window, imitating a YouTube video: “I need a double cheeseburger and hold the lettuce . . .”
Spencer Dauwalder said the burger flippers told him and his pals they were holding up the line. Dauwalder says there was no line. The group left without buying anything. The four menaces to society were tracked down by the diligent local Barney Fifes at a high school volleyball match. But the parents will fight the charges. Sharon Dauwalder said, “It was basically harmless. It wasn’t interfering with anything and it’s just hard to believe a ticket would be issued for that.” McDonald’s couldn’t be reached for comment.

I don’t see how this could be McDonald’s problem, unless McD now has its own police force with enforcement authority in the general community.

You can understand why it was so important to apprehend these troublemakers. Why couldn’t they be out committing drive-by shootings and having gang fights like normal teenagers?
Seriously, we used to do stupid stuff like this as kids, too. We thought it was hilarious, but I’m sure everybody else just rolled their eyes and ignored it. What is happening in this country? Is every little thing going to be illegal now?
