Facemeal

Fresh off the heels of last month’s story about the guy who beat up his lady-friend with a cheeseburger comes this heartwarming tale of a boy, his mother and the cornthenticity that threatened to rip their relationship asunder. It seems one Zachary Moir of Deltona, Florida was so incensed that mommy dearest had summarily yanked the power on his Xbox mid-game that he marched downstairs and gave her a face-full of taco. The best part of this story has to be the kid’s stone-cold douchebag booking photo, an image that makes even the most forgiving of hearts secretly smirk at the idea of this weasel spending a few days in the Volusia County lockup.

Leaving aside the fact that dude is nineteen and yet still lives with (and apparently is fed by) his mom, I can’t help but wonder what today’s youth are thinking. I mean, had I so much as accidentally flicked an errant sprig of shredded cheese in my mom’s general direction as a teen, I would’ve caught a beating so savage it would make extraordinary rendition look like an episode of Captain Kangaroo, and the cops would have had to first collect all the pieces of my face before taking that mug shot.

And more importantly, what the hell do today’s domestic abusers have against hand-food?
