THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • April 10,

CHEYENNE, WYO. (AP) — A cell phone used by a Wyoming 13-year-old to run up a nearly $5,000 phone bill will text no more thanks to her angry father and his hammer.

Dena Christoffersen of Cheyenne sent or received about 20,000 text messages over about a month, and her parents' phone plan didn't cover texting.
Gregg Christoffersen told KUSA-TV of Denver this week that he thought texting had been disabled on her daughter's phone, which he smashed hours after getting a phone bill for more than $4,750.
The family says Verizon has been willing to knock the bill down to a reasonable level.
Dena has been grounded until the end of school. She says she feels bad and has learned her lesson.

Remember how people say that the WWII vets were the world's greatest generation? I think the most current generation will make a serious run at being the worst.

Well....yeah. I think the better question would be which generation would come in 2nd? I guess you could somewhat make the argument the generation in the South during the early to mid 1800s, but I think that is much more localized and probably accounted for 20-30% of the population, and mainly the American population at that.

Hmmmmmm
