A wonderful story about a lady falling

Have you've seen the story about the lady who fell into the mall fountain while texting? Of course, you have.



It's one of those great viral videos that has turned into one of those great fables of modern America:

  • Lady absorbed in technology makes an ass of herself
  • Lady gets digitally shamed on YouTube
  • Mainstream media sees lady's video and gets excited
  • Lady comes out of hiding to do interviews
  • Lady ponders lawsuit on morning shows
  • Media digs into lady's past and finds out she's got a rap sheet
  • Lady is currently facing charges for going on a Target spree with a coworker's credit card

It's classic fun and a great distraction from that messy "Man With the Golden Voice" scenario from two weeks ago. That guy's problem was he just did Dr. Phil's show too early. He should've at least waited until the Entertainment Tonight crews lost interest.

Anyway, this screenshot pretty much sums up the whole experience:
