YouTube is Watching

You better not shout,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm tellin' you why,

YouTube is watching YOU.

Reuters, tells us how looters in Belgrade have been shamed, around the world.
Quote:
A video of two young women looting with gay abandon during rioting in the Serbian capital Belgrade was becoming a Balkan smash hit on the video-sharing Web site YouTube Friday.

Police arrested some looters but public humiliation by YouTube may prove a far more painful punishment for the pair, whose spree Thursday night was also aired on local television stations and was being discussed across the Internet.
~snip~
"Shame on you," was the general message of hundreds of comments about the women's behavior, though most used unrepeatable vocabulary.

The video was entitled "Swapping Kosovo for a pair of sneakers" and the person who posted it, "Gvantanamo," gave a description:

"Belgrade bimbos exploit unrest to steal from smashed-up boutiques without the slightest shame. They are so greedy they even have to carry things in their teeth."

The next day text-message jokes about the video and the looting swept around Serbia.
But I wonder? How many people in Belgrade, New Orleans, Baghdad, Paris or Timbuktu are just jealous of the opportunity to walk away with free stuff? How many are genuinely appalled by these criminals?
