So. A man collapses during a presentation at your school. Do you:
1) Check to make sure he's breathing.
2) Call 911.
3) Update your Twitter.
If you chose option 3, you're a USC student.
Alastair Fairbanks, a USC senior in attendance for Nye's presentation, told the Los Angeles Times that "nobody went to his aid at the very beginning when he first collapsed - that just perplexed me beyond reason." The student added, "Instead, I saw students texting and updating their Twitter statuses. It was just all a very bizarre evening."
That's right. They stayed in their seats and twittered, leaving Bill Nye the Science Guy unconscious on the stage. Welcome to America's culture of depraved indifference. I swear I'm emigrating to Canada.
