Thongs? Really?

I don’t normally watch the late night news, but happened to leave it on last night to find that a couple of robbers in Arvada are assured a 2008 Darwin Award. Then, of course, flipping through to Post this morning I happened upon the story again, Robbers fashion disguises from thongs. Found them pretty quickly on Digg, but no luck after a quick search on YouTube. I really have better thing to do this morning.

Really guys, women’s thongs? And what’s with the pink backpack? Did the guy decide to use his daughters school backpack to stash the cigarettes they stole?
