Bonnie & Clyde Leave Town; City Continues Enthrallment

A reader emailed me to complain I was spending too much time focusing on the media’s obsession with Jocelyn “Bonnie” Kirsch of the 2007 Bloodless Bonnie & Clyde duo (which also features Edward Anderton, who nobody knows anything about).

Yesterday, the pair both left the city to return to their home states. Anderton (who?) is home on the west coast in Washington, while Kirsch is back home in North Carolina.

But back to the actual crime: Police allege Kirsch and Anderton stole the identities of several people — five so far, according to NBC 10 — banking at least $100,000. Police say they may have installed spyware on their neighbors’ computers; a discussion I had with not one but two separate Foodery clerks came to the conclusion they totally made a ton of amateurish mistakes.

When police raided their Rittenhouse apartment, they allegedly found a ton of fake IDs and, most hilariously, a 2005 Daily Pennsylvanian article about how bouncers spot fake IDs. The cops also found Kirsch’s iPhoto directory (or whatever) and released a ton of photos to the press to make the story sexier.

More on this later today — hopefully I can dump everything in “bonnieandclyde.txt” on my desktop on the blog today — but the main story is definitely that Facebook group “SHE GOIN’ TO JAAAAAAAAIL!!!! (and THAT’S hilarious)” is back up. Wow, Drexel girls are way mean. Rawr.

Oh, yeah, and that other Jocelyn Kirsch Facebook group has photos of her from elementary school. Ahh, okay.

Nobody Really Cares About Clyde

You know who I’m starting to feel bad for? Eddie Anderton. Yes, me and Eddie go way back to, earlier this week, when I wrote about his arrest being chronicled in the Daily News.

That’s about the last anyone’s heard of Anderton, who could probably have snuck out of the country by now. All anyone cares about is Jocelyn Kirsch, the 22-year-old Drexel student who, if you didn’t notice, has tits. Yes, this is how the media works, people, you can complain about it but you must deal with it. I’m sort of at a tipping point where I’m ready to start feeling bad for her, simply because every sorority girl in the tri-state area is getting to bitch about her in print. Even anonymously sometimes. Hell, the girl from yesterday’s Daily News is being sourced all over.

Your News Media At Work

Ha ha, a way-too-awesome reader (who I believe wishes to remain anonymous) cropped us together all the best photos of Jocelyn Kirsch — the alleged grifter “Bonnie” — from recent news reports. And these aren’t even funny Webshots steals; these were used by actual media outlets!

Enjoy! (Yes, I am way too into this story. Shush.)

Rittenhouse Grifters Story Continues To Spread

Hey, look at that, the Rittenhouse Grifters story is already all over the news. Basically, here’s what the newspaper are running:

That’s on Philly.com’s front page now, and it links to this Daily News story. I figured I would join the rest of the media outlets in this city and simply use photos of this girl’s tits. Hey, she’s a hot 22 year old, it’s what people actually care about. Lame, but at least I’m honest about it. Bikini photos, too! (We haven’t even speculated on who she looks like yet. Somebody said “Erin O’Hearn,” but that doesn’t count.)
