Not surprising. What really took me by surprise is how willing guys were to help the good looking blonde steal the bike.
Americans really have nothing against stealing, fundamentally. Indians raided other tribes for ponies, or for women, or for both.
America itself was stolen from the Indians.
Look at our entertainment (again!):
The Hot Rock, Topkapi, The Italian Job (the second one-the first was a British movie)
, Kelly's Heroes, Ocean's 11 (the
first one, with the Rat pack) fact is, we're happy when they "get away with it," because that's part of what America is about:
getting away with it. Even the good heist movies where they don't "get away with it" are successful because
we want them to.
So they were just helpin' that blonde lady out, 'cause, let's face it-if the black kid can make it palatable by telling the likely
lie:
It's my bike; I just lost the key, and get help taking it, then there isn't a man in America who isn't about to tell
himself the likely lie:
If I help her steal this bike, I'll get laid! :lfao:
