WTF Friday! You ever look at a news story and just scream WTF!!! Well, it seems there’s something in the news every week that just makes no god damn sense. This week’s is this article (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101008/od_nm/us_lennon_fingerprints) on the FBI seizing John Lennon’s fingerprints before an auction. I know the article is from late last week but I still can not get over it. It seems the FBI thinks it’s important to seize a fingerprint card of John Lennon from his citizenship card from 1976. I’m not sure why this is a top priority as Mr. Lennon has been dead since 1981. Not only did they waste tax payers money in the seizure of this “important” document but think of the time they’ve wasted seizing this useless document. I hope there was no new information on a terror attack that day because the FBI had their hands full seizing the fingerprints of a man that has been dead for almost 30 years!!!
I get that they are investigating how it came into the private collection of a civilian but are we really that concerned? If the federal government had been auctioning it off, would it have been ok? It just seems really silly to waste our tax money seizing a document that clearly holds no real importance to the government. Maybe to make some money, the government should actually hold an auction on items like this. Think of how much we could deflate the national debt by selling fingerprints and artifacts that they have in their possession. Hell, they were going to get $100,000 or more for the fingerprints, just imagine what confiscated items from other celebrities and criminals could bring in.
Maybe it’s me, but I think the FBI and the government have better things to do with their time and money then to hunt down useless documents from dead celebrities. They have no clue were half the terrorists are, can’t locate weapons of mass destruction, but don’t worry their hard at work collecting memorabilia from celebrities, man do I feel safe….
