So ACORN helps a woman illegally break into her old house that she lost to foreclosure and makes a video of the act to put up on Youtube. The first funny bit is that the house no longer belongs to the bank. It's been sold. So they broke into some other person's house. The second funny bit is that nobody in the media who has been reporting on this has done the slightest background check on the woman who those evil vicious banks took advantage of.
