Title of Article: Couple Arrested for Selling “Tickets to Heaven.”

Summary: The article briefly goes over how a married couple, Tito and Amanda Watts, were arrested for selling tickets to Heaven at $99.00 per individual ticket. The selling of these tickets in of itself would be legal, however Tito told the buyers that they were made of solid gold when the tickets were in fact made of wood. The excitement doesn’t end there though, in the police report it was said that Mr. Watts claimed, “…And it was Jesus who give them to me behind the KFC and tell me to sell them so I could go to outer space.You should arrest Jesus because he’s the one who gave them to me and said to sell them. I’m willing to wear a wire to set Jesus up.”

 

Reaction: This article has made me realize something deep and profound about my life. That ticket I bought was fake. I want a refund firstly. Secondly, I emphasize with Tito Watts. After all, I could be convinced that that ticket was made of gold, it sure felt like it anyway.

World Impact: This article really drives home the fact of how disgusting this world is now. That i can’t go behind a sketchy KFC and trust a man when he says that he’s Jesus. Truly this world is going downhill and fast. On another note I am pleasantly surprised that Tito was so generous as to volunteer to set up that foul crook “Jesus.” Perhaps there is hope for our world’s future.
