Burglar takes burgers, not money By: Londyn Alexander Flex


http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/11/us/five-guys-dc-burglary/index.html


A Man in  was caught on camera, cooking burgers in a local Five Guy's restaurant  in Washington D.C. There was footage of the man, cooking burgers whilst talking on the phone and occasionally taking a  drink of beverages. Allegedly the man got in the restaurant by following a delivery truck and then waiting until it vacated the premises. 

I don't this is a major current event, but I do find it to be  extremely entertaining. I think it is quite strange that the police are putting so much effort into finding a man who stole two burgers. I also feel as if the media is over exploiting this, simply because of its entertainment value rather than the actual criminality of the contents.

  1. I think this is a very interesting story, but I agree with your analysis that the media repeats certain stories just because they are amusing and entertaining in order to get more views and readers.
