Have People Always Been Stupid, Or Is Technology Encouraging It?

Man Defies Death by Jumping onto Subway Tracks to Save his iPhone

A New York City man was so desperate to retrieve his lost iPhone that he
jumped onto subway tracks to save it from being carried off by a rat. OK, maybe a rat wouldn't really be interested unless it was slimed with pizza sauce. But that doesn't change the fact that the gentleman involved risked his life for his iPhone.

It's a hard call to make (pun intended). If you drop something down onto subway tracks, what do you do? If it were a glove or a hat, I say let it go. But a $400 iPhone? Bijan Rezvani decided it was worth a death-defying leap down onto the tracks.

What a moron. I don't even know what else to say...
