Post 3: Pop-Culture??

      Earlier this week a tragic event happened at the London Hotel located in Hollywood California. Multiple officers arrived at the scene of the crime with little to no evidence to whom committed this crime. The security cameras in the building were no use to the authorities because they were not facing the appropriate direction to catch the criminal. As a result, the surveillance tapes showed no suspicious activity which could have alarmed security personal to the event taking place. Officials were called for the theft of Lupita Nyong'O’s Oscar dress. Officers were furious to find that the thief had somehow passed security without being detected with the dress, but in fact it was thrown out of the hotel room balcony. The thief who stole the dress contacted TMZ and informed them to how he successfully avoided detection. The thief knew the location of the cameras located around the hotel room and the path he was to take to escape. The thief knew what room Lupita was staying in and waited for the right time to sneak in. Once in the opportunity came, he entered the room and threw the dress of the balcony where another person waited at the bottom to retrieve it. The thief discovered the pearls on the dress were worthless fakes, thus he returned the dress. In the video attached to the article, one could see officers retrieving the dress and placing it into a body bag for proper transportation.The article does not inform readers of any legal actions or arrests associated with the thief.

      This article related to “Pop-culture” has no direct connection to the main topic of this blog. As pointed out in the summary, the article summarized in this post came from TMZ, specifically TMZ online. Referring to a previous post about the internet, most of the information from websites such as TMZ can be considered the useless ones that users need to know not to use in scholarly works . Many of the websites similar to TMZ online provide users with misleading and non-credible information. For example, the article I had read refers to a dress being thrown off a balcony of a hotel. The article gave no information on who stole the dress, when the dress was stolen, or any direct information from law enforcement or people at the scene. An immense amount of space in the web is used to store this “news” about what is happening in the lives of celebrities. When I read this, the main things I thought were how people find entertainment in reading this, and how taxpayer money is spent on a wild goose chase for a piece of cloth that actually had little value because the materials were fake. Of course, I do not decide what people do with their time on the internet, but I am informing people to not use most of the information found on these sites for scholarly or relevant works because they are not credible sources of information.
