We talk all ruminate about "mass shooting" perpetrators getting too much attention from the media...but somehow deliberately "pretending" to steal from a taxi driver (when wearing lingerie for no apparent reason) seems even worse. It's the first time I remember someone specifically going out of their way to show their pride in doing something idiotic (but) that brought them media attention (and, theoretically, more attention for her modeling/acting/Instagram career).

 

The passenger, identified only as Gabby, 18, told Inside Edition that she has no regrets about taking the money.

 

"It was a kid thing to do," she said. "My friend paid him back that day."

 

She added that while it was something she did carelessly, "I do feel sorry to an extent" for taking the money.

 

She doesn't, however, appear to have any remorse for the attention she's gotten.

 

"It made me relevant," she told Inside Edition. "You are calling me."

 

 

The crazy part of this whole story is it seems like a set-up, where it was a "fake robbery" but the driver was actually repaid for the money stolen (probably under $20) and yet here we are talking about her.

First off, then why help them get more famous?

 

Second, this is far from the first time the bolded has happened. Jackass anyone?
