As you know, one of our favorite things to do around here is bring attention to the stupid, pointless, sensationalized, no-other-value-than-killing-airtime-in-between-commercials-and-scaring-grandma "news" reports that appear each night on the local television news.
That's why we're telling you about this one from Fox 23 in Tulsa. If you can believe it, kids are apparently using a popular communication technology to buy and sell drugs.
Via Fox 23:
A local parent is opening up after he said he discovered teens using the Snapchat app to buy and sell drugs.
The parent, who chooses to remain anonymous, because he still has children attending local high schools, said a friend of one of his children called him to express concern that people on his child's Snapchat account were selling drugs on the app...
Wow. You're telling me that some of the 178 million daily active users on Snapchat are using the app to buy and sell illegal drugs! That's ridiculous! Is nothing sacred? It makes me long for the good old days when teenagers used text messages and good old-fashioned phone calls to do this stuff.
