I believe he’s referring to Dante’s Inferno, in which the ninth circle is reserved for various flavors of treachery. But that doesn’t have much to do with entitlement. Or Chuck E. Cheese. Or whatever. Anyway, he can explain it if he wants to. Ahem.
Harry Connick, Jr.?
I guess that makes sense?
I know Mugshot Du Jour was not a nice website, and I don’t miss it, but I did love this guy’s photo:
*lolz
(Damn, I love that man’s face.)
That mug could get a pass for just about any misdemeanor (and half a dozen felonies at least).
One-Punch man is the least treacherous. Hence the head scratching and punching Superman so hard his face came off.
Perhaps these ladies know that mugshots of old were called such because of the verbal connotation of the word ‘mug’, and are just trying to bring that fun tradition into the modern age. In the early days, criminals ‘mugged’ for the camera, as it was likely their last shot at some kind of act of freedom before they were hanged.
I’m going to say this as someone who’s brother worked a Wendy’s for several years.
Christ what an asshole.
These ignorant trash don’t get to define my culture because we happen to share a similar Pantone number.
ETA: I apologize @Ratel. I didn’t mean to snap at you; you did nothing to deserve that. What I mean is that, while I acknowledge that people commonly identified as white are given more latitude than those who are not in the US, I categorically refuse to allow losers who behave like this or like that McCrory dirtbag or Brock Turner to define a culture for everyone who happens to share similar skin tones with them.
Also want to clarify that when I call them trash, I’m not referencing their income bracket, I’m referencing their ignorant juvenile antisocial sociopathic behavior. Plenty of working poor make it through life without conning people out of house and home or jumping the wage slaves at Yucky McDucky’s house of rat-shit burgers. Brock Turner’s a paragon of affluent human trash.
Why is this on BoingBoing?
I just checked and it was even Mark himself who did the interview with Jon Ronson about his book "So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” and said stuff like "We both had the same feeling from reading it – a fear of tweeting, and reluctance to join in on an online shame pile-on. ".
Well I’m happy you worked it out and got over your reluctance.
Look, I’m not saying these women are innocent. Chances are they are just a bunch of assholes. But we fucking don’t know. And pile ons like this one will make it harder for them to have their day in court. Is the jolt of rightousness you get by posting about this worth the risk of someone losing their child?
Gawkers corpse hasn’t stopped twitching yet. There is no reason to be so eager to pick up the slack.
I think just reading about this story has infected you with the dreaded copspeak-itis, my friend:
“The photographic images of the individuals in question were at this time promulgated electronically utilising conventional social media paradigms, for the reasons already enumerated…”
Just joshing with ya, of course 
Finally, la mot juste!
I am ALWAYS trying to find a better way to communicate to my kids the appropriate disgust for McDonald’s, which they regard as paradise, a “treat”. Thanks!
Some years ago mugshot lighting improved dramatically. Instead of a simple too-bright frontal flash which always looks terrible they use ringlights or vanity lights. Plus, the image quality of modern digital cameras is vastly better than that of old Polaroids.
I know, right? Francis Albert shares an ear structure. Or something.
I was thinking more attitude than technology, but yeah, those passive improvements have been interesting.
And yet, passport photos are still dour!
The way public schools are being run now, it wouldn’t surprise me if they took mugshots of all of their students. And mandated bright orange school uniforms.
As a very recent teacher who taught in an economically disadvantaged as well as typically middle class high schools, I have to respectfully disagree. The vast majority of students do a great job behaving. Even the kids involved in gangs in the two districts where I taught I found to be respectful. Percentage-wise in my recent district, very few teenagers get in trouble and even fewer involve the law.
I just thought that @jsroberts was making a joke that the school photos were like having mug shots every year for 13 years.
Seriously, it’s kinda creeping me out.
I’ve always wondered what was going on when this was taken:
