So these losers with their smart phones come upon a couple fighting on the street. First the man crashes his car in the hopes to kill them both but when that does not work he chases the woman and tries to kill her before kiling himself via stabbing. The idiots instead of trying to help the women decide to stand there and film it?!!

What the fuck!!!

Fuck this generation obsessed with their smart phones and then using said devices to fame whore themselves. I'm geting sick of these people thinking filming everything everywhere they go just because their phones have a camera or vid player. I had a feeling this shit was gonna happen back in the early 2000s when i was in a ttc bus one nite and a kid just walked up to the driver and asked: "Can i take your picture?" The driver i remember said no and i remember the pissed look he had on his face. I started thinking to myself back then.. 'it's goona get alot worse once most of thse phone have cameras in them..' And lo and behold shit has hit the fan thanks to the sites like twitter and instagram being available.. There was a women recently that blogged about her eating nothing but Starbucks for a whole yr.. and just this week another stupid idiot blogged about her giving birth at home, putting her pics of the birth online. Another loser draws on bananas. All these peole hope to accomplish at the end of the day is to draw attention to themselves in the hopes of that 15 min of fame for doing something stupid.

Don't get me started on 'selfies'. Posting pics online of what you're about to eat or drink or what you're about to buy or bought just because you can and for some stupid reason think anyone cares is just idiotic.

It's the same with posting everything about yourself on Facebook. That's why I never bothered signing up. No need to follow the other lemmings.

What's wrong with filming the last moments in the lives of two drug addicted DUI degenerates? Sadly they both survived.

Actually , by filming it and sharing that video, that is very useful evidence for the courts to use, and will help them long term.

And unless you speak Portuguese , we do not know if they had already called the police, who did arrive on the scene fairly quickly.

Further, you don't ever approach someone who is clearly not in a good frame of mind holding a knife like that.

That's a pretty fucked up video, but I can't seem to understand how you segued from demise of society due to smartphones to blogging about child birth, via the TTC.

I don't know that the phone is the problem... More likely a symptom. The guy doing the filming (or whatever it's called now) would have stood by and watched before... now he gets to prove his cowardice my posting a video of a guy trying to murder his wife. What a sad situation...

Sometimes I wonder how much drive space is occupied world-wide with absolutely useless drivel at places like Youtube. It's probably an astonishing amount...

It figures one of the main losers on the board that lives his life by anything Apple related would post here. I'm sure OTB lives his life through his twitter and facebook accts etc.. Posting everything he takes with his iToy online for all to see cause for some stupid reason he feels anyone and everyone should give a shit.

Ahh the sad mindset of Apple sheep..

I have plenty of Smartphone rant material but I don't agree with the OP.

Unless you are a professionally trained officer of the law or your life (or that of a loved one) is in immediate danger, it is never a good idea to interfere with a drunken person wielding a knife in anger.

The only people that are narcissistic are those that have their noses stuck in a smart phone 24/7.
Really? It's one thing to get on a pulpit and preach/rant a bit... but that shit don't make no sense.

I think you guys have missed the point. This incident is one example, not the whole argument. How about idiots who film someone drowning without trying to help? How about the very real people who film dying victims of a car crash without calling for help?

Do you get it now?

+ 10 to legmann. The rest of you are too blinded by your phone toys and what you can do with them to see the other examples included in my rant to tie everything together.
