Abel Raises Cain

I just finished an amazing documentary. It has the most charming narration and little funny bits here and there. Probably could never be considered a TRUE documentary as the topic is on the greatest prankster of all time and the whole thing was done by his daughter, but it is great to hear about all the things this guy has pulled in his life and his motivation for them.

I was thrilled to see how he managed to get national media to come cover his hi jinks and never check to see that this was all just a hoax. I think he could really have a heyday now with 24 hour news channels, increased competition for ratings, newspapers going bankrupt and layoffs in the television industry. With enough copycats, maybe we could get the ethics back in the news industry again. Nah.
