Yeah, I'm being snarky. Like Telarus' link says, it's a massive case of double-standards in our legal system. I'm in the crowd who's still pissed that the robber baron motherfuckers got bailouts instead of jumping from the tops of buildings, and I'm not the type of person who forgets that sort of thing as soon as the next reality show about spoiled trust fund bitches goes on the air.

Yes, but that sentence was already long and full of enough vitriol as it was. :lulz:
