...I say kids, but they're really only 5 years younger then me. But they are stupid.

I read the following article on cbc.ca yesterday evening at work, and almost laughed into my phone (which had a customer on it..):

BOSTON (AP) - A pair of former Northeastern University freshmen are facing charges after prosecutors said one leaned out his dorm window Sunday and loudly told a woman in the dorm opposite his that he and his roommate were selling pot.

Oops. Two police officers happened to be nearby. According to the Suffolk district attorney's office, Michael Emery said his roommate Ferrante had some weed for sale.

Two plainclothes Boston officers in the building overheard the conversation and went to a second-floor room where they arrested Emery, 18, and Matthew Ferrante, 18.

Prosecutors said the officers found about 110 grams of marijuana; drug paraphernalia, including a scale; and several bottles of alcohol.

The students were arraigned Tuesday on charges including possession of a class D substance with intent to distribute in a school zone, a count that carries a maximum of two years in jail.

They pleaded not guilty, were released on personal recognizance and are due back in court next month.

....You're telling me that this guy was smart enough to get into university, but not smart enough to know that if you're selling pot out of your dorm room, you don't yell it out the window? Wow. Just....wow.
