Real men of genius don't post evidence of their crimes online.

This photo is making the internet rounds, because what else are you supposed to do when you're at work? The guy in the photo, Michael Baker, lives in Kentucky. He posted this on Facebook, and then was surprised to learn that not only were the police unamused, they were willing to press charges. Strange guys, the police; rarely laugh at people thumbing their noses at 'em.

Anywho, if nothing else it's a snapshot of America in 2012. Gas prices are high and people are outraged, and the younger set continues to live their lives as open books online, with varying degrees of success.
