Facebook, where everyone sees everything.

It's been way too long since I've blogged. My apologies to my one reader who follows me on Twitter anyway.

I have a new job, far away from chlorine and angry parents. So far it's been great. A daily commute to NYC is hardly ideal, but I'd be foolish and childish to complain. One of my responsibilities at the new job is to monitor the Facebook account of my show. So Facebook and I are pretty tight. When I come home at night, the last thing I should want to do is get on the computer and spend even MORE time on Facebook and Twitter, but of course I do it anyway.

Tonight as I was clicking through the tubes and stalking on ye olde FB, I came across a picture that both horrified and delighted me. My friend was "highlighted" by getting tagged in an album posted by a work friend of hers. Because the work friend didn't mark her pictures as private, I was able to click through the entire album.

Now, why would I want to do that? you ask. I wish I knew. I only knew one person in the entire album. She was in a grand total of 10 (out of 80+) pictures. Yet I kept clicking through. Then I found this beauty:




I take issue with this photo in several ways:
1. I shouldn't be able to see this. Not at all. I don't know the girl in it, nor do I know the girl who took it.
2. It's a vertical picture. But the girl posted it horizontal like this. Facebook gives you the option to rotate your photos once you've uploaded them. It's not difficult, just rotate it 90 degrees clockwise.
3. What kind of a bitch friend puts this up on Facebook? Granted, she didn't tag the girl in this picture. But she did in every single other picture.

When you wear a skirt that short a) wear full-coverage panties, b) avoid standing on tables and c) keep your goddamn legs shut. Britney, Lindsey and Paris have all suffered on the snatch-exposing cross for women across the world. By showing us their ham pockets, they have cleansed us all from any future clam/camera incidents that may occur. But let us learn from them, and respect our lady parts and ourselves.

Also, remember that on Facebook everyone sees everything.
