What a Loser!!!

Just read in the Pune Times today that a 15 year old got duped in the most obvious way possible.

This dude is on his way home when a total stranger walks up to him and asks him how hes been faring in school. Forget about not talking to strangers, this kid spills the beans on how hes been an underachiever at school.

The stranger tells him that this is because his mother's jewellery is bewitched(!) and only he can exorcise the demon lest it cause him to fail. He even mentions that this demon can kill his parents at any time!!

Wow! Not only is this stranger creative but he seems to have a way with those who have a malleable mind. Right enough the dude brings the stranger all his mom's trinkets and the rest, as they say, is history!

And here I was beginning to think that our future generations were going to be smarter than us. This kinda stupidity is certainly not expected from a 15yr old.

I do hope that the dude parents dont punish him coz the embarassment he gonna face in public is punishment enough!

OH MY GOD!!! Well it won't be public embarassment if they don't disclose his name...but i really think that if this is the condition of our future generation, then god help us all!!!!

lol A fairy tale ending if I were the trickster! Can't get any better than this. No risk at all. If a trickster can ceaselessly find such nincompoops, they don't have a thing to worry, do they? The kid, of course, can be given the benefit of the doubt. At fifteen, if he has done this, this doesn't reflect much on the parents' ability, of course. These things pass on genetically, you see. lol Anyway, I'll give the future generation the benefit of the doubt as well and say, this guy was just a rare blotch in an otherwise cleverer society.... well hopefully! :D

Half way through reading, I thought that the kid must be below 10yrs of age but being so gullible at 15, that's very unexpected. As for the punishment, God help him!
The younger generation is certainly smart, so no worrying about that.

One more thing, if he was so desperate to vent his feelings(even onto a stranger), imagine how depressed he must've been!Sigh..
