A non-story: Shia stares
If you drive around L.A. you'll find yourself waiting at a ton of traffic lights. It's not unusual for people to look out their windows at other drivers. A recent video shot by a motorcyclist caught actor Shia LaBeouf looking intensely out of his truck at the biker. Huffington Post, Gawker, Buzzfeed and Yahoo picked up the story. This isn't a story, it's more of a situation. People are wondering why Shia was glaring at the biker. Perhaps he was looking at the camera on the guy's helmet. Maybe he was contemplating switching to a Prius. Or maybe at that moment Shia realized his girlfriend doesn't have eyebrows. My point is there are many reasons Shia could have been staring. The whole thing a non-story and the dumbest thing to make the news in a long time.
