Kids these days

I place the blame for this sort of thing where it squarely belongs: on the violent teevee shows.
CHESTERTON, Ind. - A 17-year-old boy who police said asked a friend to hit him with a car "for fun" was still hospitalized Tuesday with a broken leg.
Maybe the teevee shows weren't violent enough. Otherwise, the kid wouldn't have had to get hit by a car "for fun."
Michael Morris, a junior at Chesterton High School, was in fair condition at Porter hospital, spokeswoman Robin Carlascio said.

His friend, Stephen D. Domonkos, 18, told police that Morris on Saturday night asked him to hit him with his car, something they had done before. He told police that Morris was "an adrenaline junkie."

[...]

Domonkos was charged with felony criminal recklessness. If convicted, he could face six months to three years in jail.

"I won't do this no more," Morris of Chesterton told The Times of Munster.
Well, the excitement has probably worn off by this point anyway, so they'll probably have to turn to something else. Maybe fire. Fire is always exciting. Yeah.
