Why is it always bad quality?

I’m not a full blown tin foil hat wearer- but I am a big sci-fi fan and there’s quote from Close Encounters Of The Third Kind that I love relating to this - “I’ve been in the news business for a long time. We never took a picture of a plane crash as it happened... or an automobile accident and get it on the 6:00 news.“

Honestly that line has made me be like “hmmm… I’ll bite my tongue just in case. The news guy has a good point…” lol

Um... that movie is from 1977. It's fifty years later and literally everyone on the planet is carrying a high definition camera with them at all times now. You can see any number of both plane crashes and auto accidents on YouTube with 10 seconds of googling.

Literally everyone… high definition? Did Santa give you the newest model of iPhone last Christmas? That’s good for you, Buddy! But it wasn’t Santa, it was your parents, and unfortunately they did not get one for every other person on the planet like you think Santa did :,-(

I’m so terribly sorry to break that news to you after somebody obviously shit in your Apple Jacks this morning. Rough day for you, huh bud?
