I surreptitiously snapped this blurry photo with my camera phone at the movie theater over the weekend. Whenever I go to the movies, I get to sadly study how embarrassing the state of America's youth has gotten.
My friend Katy usually rolls up a little late, so I normally kick back against a pillar and silently observe the junior high and high school kids coming and going from the theater, which is located in the super-depressing Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers, MA.
My studies have shown that 90% of high school girls proudly display the lower-back tattoo (what CFC IV refers to as the "Jersey License Plate"), among other clues to the sorry state of the next generation.
I wish I had a close-up of this fellow (yes, it's a male). If they did an updated remake of The Breakfast Club, he could play the most confused, misguided, dysfunctional-family-byproduct of them all! He's sporting skin-tight Heavy Metal-style jeans, and his hair is vintage Heavy Metal, but not quite. See, it's meticulously brushed and parted, so it's more like the Glam-Metal-Meets-Boy-George look than just the straightforward Bon Jovi "Tousle."
