Why I hate kids these days

Those who are busy texting during a history lesson from someone who was there are destined to be a bunch of assholes:

Officials at an Oregon high school said they are banning cellphones and iPods after rude behavior during a speaking engagement by a Holocaust survivor.

Scappoose High School administrators said the electronic devices are now banned for the school's 700 students after Alter Wiener, 84, was repeatedly interrupted during a January assembly by students text messaging and talking on their phones, KGW-TV, Portland, Ore., reported Wednesday.

"This is the first time I had to deflect from the presentation and say, please show me some respect," said Wiener, who survived stints in five different Nazi labor and concentration camps while his entire family was slain. "It's an insult to me."

There. Are. No. Words.

You could be hearing a stirring story about one man's survival in the face of unspeakable evil, and you'd rather be typing "OMG did U see wut Taylor is wearing 2day LOL?"

I weep for the future.
