Pick The Perp: The Most Depressing Social Experiment We've Played All Day

Posted by Ina Maier

 

We all know the internet was invented solely to provide abused office drones with a constant stream of mindless entertainment while simultaneously instilling a false sense of happiness in the form of cute videos of animals playing instruments, riding roombas, and getting tickled.

Which is why our most recent discovery, Pick The Perp, is so important. It’s a game that – get this! – is not particularly entertaining, nor uplifting! After two and a half minutes of playing, we were mildly depressed, averaging under 30% accuracy, and questioning our subconscious level of socio-economic prejudice. Join in the fun after the jump!

The point of the game, by now, should be obvious: the site gives you a crime and 5 mug shots – you pick the perp.  But be careful! The perps don’t always fit the crime. For example, the domestic abusers can be women!

Turns out, though, that we've got a knack for picking out a particular kind of criminal, which is to say: Disorderly Drunks!

And Drug Traffickers!

 

And, um, stalkers:


 That said, we can't for the life of us figure out what it means to be charged with "Utter Forged Instrument".


Anyone?

As I understand it, a forged instrument is a forgery (say a check) and an utter forged instrument is presenting it (like trying to cash it). Buying something with counterfeit money would be the same thing.
