THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS - The Wrong Crowd held a press conference today to profess its innocence, and express that they feel they've been given a bum rap by parents and the media.

"We are not bad people," said The Wrong Crowd's spokesperson, Johnny "Knife 'Em" Stravoli. "We understand if parents choose to not let their children hang out with us, but please understand that we are people, too."

The press conference was held Tuesday in light of a recent discovery that yet another youth, 13-year-old Vince Corobi, was spotted last week hanging out with The Wrong Crowd.

"Yeah, we know Vince," stated Stravoli. "Good kid. We like hanging out with him. But just because our group has spawned a few million drug addicts, murderers, and prostitutes doesn't mean that Vince is going to go down that same path. Probably, but not necessarily."

A spokesperson for a similar group, The Bad Eggs, could not be reached for comment.
