Fun and folly
- 10 Jun 2024
Picture used for illustrative purposes only.
YouTube is a window into the world as presented by videos, full of fun, folly and fools but also felons. A YouTuber has gone too far in a desperate and criminal effort to get more attention and he has gained attention but from the law.
He has shot fireworks from a helicopter which not surprisingly is illegal and more than slightly stupid and dangerous. He now faces up to 10 years in jail, by which time people might have found a new form of entertainment or YouTube could return to its original purpose, cat videos and how to fix stuff videos. Stupidity can be rewarded with jail time.
The only other option is to go out into the sunlight and enjoy nature.
