Definition of chutzpah

I missed this last week, what with being in remote country Victoria and all, but did you see the tale of the 13 year old and his mates in Texas who stole a credit card and went on a $30,000 spending spree, ending with playing Halo at an expensive hotel with $1000/night prostitutes?

Definition of chutzpah:
Ralph and Co. told the working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus.

Who was that Melbourne kid with the stupid sunglasses whose name now deserves (even more than it did originally) to be promptly forgotten? Dude, you've been pwned.

UPDATE: ... by a fictional character! Turns out the story was a hoax. In my defence, I'm not a paid journalist, so it's not my job to fact-check stories in mainstream newspapers. Boy would my face be red if I were!

(Note I haven't made any calls to fact-check the claim that the story's a hoax, so maybe it's true and the hoax link is the hoax. If only we had people whose job it was to chase up leads and report back to the public. Wouldn't that be great?)
