So I was just listening to "CunningLynguists - America Loves Gangsters". This song got me thinking, what is Americas obsession with gangsters? Has this really become the dream of adolescent Americans? Why would someone want to take up a life of crime? It seems rather absurd to me, but I guess with the downfall of the economy this is what happens. People are driven to make money no matter the consequence.
This unfortunately looks like a rather sad reality for those who grew up on the lower end of the income scale. But, even nowadays we are seeing people who are in the higher income bracket strive for this dream. Being "hard" and acting stupid have quite the momentum for being the "popular" thing now.
Here's a link to the song for everyone. And YES, I'm too lazy to embed and write HTML right now. Deal with it
