I'm Entertained By These Party Crashers

You'll have to forgive me: I know that the couple who crashed the White House's recent state dinner uncovered dangerous breaches in security, embarrassed so-and-so and made a mockery of such-and-such... but I think they are cool.

Adventure comes in many forms, and I can imagine that — like that guy who illegally climbs buildings around the world and then parachutes off — there must have been lots of planning, thought, and no small amount of guts that went into pulling this off, and what must have been maximum excitement and adrenaline in the attempt.

And, like that aforementioned Human Spider guy, the fact that this is (currently, and hopefully for the foreseeable future) limited to just this one couple who are harmless (in and of themselves), I think it's all a bit of a laugh and nothing else.

When hundreds of copycat party crashers come out of the woodwork to emulate this couple's success and start causing real problems, then of course I'll sing a different tune. But for now, I'm just amused.
