A 19-year-old freshman at the University of Colorado faces criminal charges after police said he made a fake bar code label to buy an iPod for $4.99. The actual price of the MP3 player was $149.99.
Jonathan Baldino was arrested Wednesday at a Target store and police said the electrical-engineering student admitted making phony bar codes using a program he downloaded off the Internet.
If I’m the person who makes such decisions, I’m kicking him out of the university for being an idiot. There’s other measure of intelligence beyond GPAs and SATs, and you, Jonathan, have just failed majorly. The Smoking Gun has the police report and a picture of the criminal mastermind.
In other news, eating your voting ballot in Canada? Not allowed. So says the government’s official site.
