How much more American can you get? This is the Mall of America, combined with American’s love for both undermining Federal laws and mooching resources from others.

I can’t believe someone got away with this, but the mall is known for being unnecessarily huge with it’s 4 floors, 2.5 million sq. ft. and 500+ shops (half of which are Starbucks). There’s limited facts about the case, but here’s the overview:

MIAMI – The Drug Enforcement Administration discovered something unexpected in the Mall of the Americas.

DEA agents found a hydroponics lab with more than 200 marijuana plants, standing 3 to 6 feet tall in the air and worth millions of dollars, in a storage area on the second floor of the mall.

Authorities said the electricity that powered the lab was diverted from the mall’s main power supply.

No arrests have been made. Authorities said officials with the Mall of the Americas are cooperating with the investigation.

The latest stream of anti-meth ads are getting a little disturbing.  I’m guessing that it’s working considering I see faces of twearkers in my nightmares.  At this point, I’m just glad I don’t have kids, because fielding a “why does that lady look like a zombie” question from a 6 year old girl doesn’t sound too appealing.

I found this mildly amusing, but I have a strange feeling this conversation took place in a past life of mine.
