Walmart? Sing Sing? Malibu? SpringBreak Hot Spots

A young college student opts to spend spring break not on some beach sunning himself but instead doing a social experiment ala "Supersize Me." Perhaps with an eye toward getting on reality TV this college student chooses to spend a week inside Walmart to see if in fact, as their ad suggests, that they can meet a person's every need. I find it hard to believe that this young man or for that matter the general public took Walmart's claim for anything other than a simple marketing tool. The student however, chose to dissect the claim and test it for its so called veracity. Of course, he proceeded with his endeavor without first getting the consent or approval of anyone in authority at Walmart. It took them 41 hours, but Walmart finally realized they had a squatter in the place and removed the young gentleman. Apparantly, he was quite relieved to be discovered since he claimed not to have been able to shower or find appropriate sleeping quarters in the store. I wonder, had he never been inside a Walmart before this experiement? How is it he didn't realize they didn't sell beds or have shower facilities? Did his Walmart Vacation brochure contain amenities that were perhaps missing in this particular Walmart? Did his travel agent fail to properly disclose this relevant information? One needs to wonder how someone who is able to even get into a college can fail to realize that this "experiement" could land him in quite a different springbreak hotspot...such as Prison! Prison has appropriate sleeping quarters and showers as well. Perhaps instead of returning to the University to take his final exams this quarter he will be spending up to one year in the local pen! Criminal Trespass for all of you thrill seekers out there is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail here in NY. Now with the publicity he has received will he be appearing on the local talk shows? Or perhaps he has a book in him; or a made for TV movie? Personally, I truly feel that these stunts should in fact be treated for what they are, namely Crimes! If we set some examples for proper behavior, then maybe, just maybe, we will see some.
