Trend Spotting OR Cutting Edge

There comes a time in everyone’s life when you stop being cool and start keep track of what’s cool. I don’t think I’ve ever been fashionable but I have a good eye for the latest craze among the kids. And in KC, all the cool kids are playing with sharp objects.

Esmie Tseng (a song. He-he!) started off the craze by brutally shipping her mom off to the great rice paddy in the sky and now a kid from Central High School mercilessly opened up one of his classmates with a box cutter.

Truly, this is more than kids just cutting up. The youth of KC is sharp and they want everybody to know it. Expect all the cool kids to be packing swords, knives and various other blades in order to go along with the crowd. Sadly, this may mean that the poorer young ones will have to suffice with a pair of dull scissors from Wal-Mart but I’m sure that taking an after school job will quickly earn an enterprising young lad the sharpest blade on the street.

I don’t know if the latest trend signifies that gun control laws are working but I am glad to know that the kids in KC are making it a point to keep assault and murder as trendy as possible.
