Idiots for the day

Elliot Hannon has a Slate article about people who not only are stupid, but insist on videotaping themselves being stupid, and then posting it (stupidly) on Facebook:

Two Boy Scouts of America leaders were booted from their leadership positions in the organization recently. The two men, David Hall and Glenn Taylor, had been involved with the Boy Scouts until they committed vandalism, and took a video of it.
Not very Scout-like indeed. The mushroom-like rock in the video is part of a formation at Goblin Valley State Park in Utah that is thought to be 145 to 170 million years old. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the decision to remove Hall and Taylor “came from the Council leadership, which referred to the men’s behavior as ‘reprehensible’ and a violation of the Scout principle of ‘leave no trace’.”
During the video, the cameraman is heard saying: "Some little kid was about ready to walk down here and die and Glenn saved his life by getting the boulder out of the way. So it’s all about saving lives here at Goblin Valley." The cameraman was, by any objective sarcasm barometer, being facetious. But Hall and Taylor, perhaps sensing that pushing over the rock wasn’t as awesome as they first thought, have stuck to the safety-first story, telling the Salt Lake Tribune that “the rock was loose and a safety hazard, which they fixed by knocking it over”.
Getting kicked out of the Boy Scouts, however, may be the least of Hall and Taylor’s concerns, as the two men could also be facing felony charges for destroying the formation, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

Rico says well, it's one way to get your rocks off, but the YouTube description is slightly different:

Three men, tagged as Dave Hall, Glenn Taylor, and Dylan Taylor, push over large rock boulders in Goblin Valley, Utah in this video, posted to Hall's Facebook page. They claim they are preventing a safety hazard, but the activity in the video is likely illegal. Utah state parks authorities are investigating, and the three are facing felony charges. The video has since been removed from Facebook.
