Editor,
OK, I don't know how many Daily Lobo readers watched the opening ceremonies for the Torino Winter Olympics, but I couldn't help noticing that as team USA walked by the cameras, a blonde female member of the team was talking on her cell phone the entire time.
Boy, there's the ugly American on display for the whole world to see.
What kind of moron would do such a thing? I mean, who was she talking to, and what was she saying?
"Hi. Yeah, I can't really enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience unless I'm jabbering incessantly to one of my semi-retarded, equally shallow buddies on my awesome new cell phone that mommy and daddy bought for me. How do I look? Isn't this great? I'm, like, so totally stoked. What are you doing?"
It's come to the point where people are unable to experience life unless they can send phone cam shots to their friends for validation. What a nation of imbeciles we have become.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not text-messaged - get a freaking life, people.
