The police blotter is just too violent and frightening to read sometimes… why must there be so much cruelty in the world?

Early 2k’s middle-class American Mom Fashion and the Struggles of Social networking collide here.
While the main point of this shirt is most likely supposed to be the bedazzled Americana-colored FarmVille, we cannot help but conclude that the phrase “Online Farmer” written in a glimmering script font is really what makes this tank top so great.
“Online Farmer”. Again, that’s “online farmer”.
What’s next, Online plumber? Online highway cleanup? Online sweatshop worker?
Online museum?

Sometimes, Facebook Ads seem to know you way too well.
And sometimes, they give you a great opportunity to yell out a good ol’ “WTFFFF????” to the internetz.
Sorry, you can only see the above photo if you log into Facebook Connect using your Facebook Gold™ Account.
Thank you The Daily What for supplying our social networking-run society with the greatest prank ever. (Click here to read about it, if you’re still literate)
Dear Facebook, please stop telling me to reconnect with my friends who have died.

Granted, I’m sure the animals down on FarmVille/ZooWorld are a lot easier to take care of, which is why hopefully Facebook will make us realize that the next step in technological progression should be that we aught to have virtual families instead. Or relationships that solely exist over the internet. Oh wait that already exists doesn’t it. Well we’re halfway there!
CBS News asking the hard hitting ?s: “Is it ‘cool’ for fugitives to update their facebook while on the lam?”
Facebook Fugitive Craig Lynch Updates Facebook Status While British Cops Search in Vain
NEW YORK (CBS) British police can’t find escaped convict Craig Lynch, but search for him on Facebook and you’ll see that he has nearly 4,000 fans and an info box that says “Life is what you make it, live fast, die young!!!”
Lynch seems intent on doing just that.
Back in September, the 28-year-old Facebook-friendly convict escaped the Hollesey Bay Prison, located in Suffolk, about 100 miles north of London.
Though police can’t seem to figure out where he is, his Facebook friends get constant updates with Lynch describing everything from what he ate for dinner to who his first sexual conquest of 2010 will be, according to CNN.
“mmm i just had a 12lb venison steak. Roasted veg and chips, bangin meal. I feel stuffed but still got room for the j.d’s . Hope you enjoyed the meal babe’s. We’ll have to eat here again,” Lynch wrote on his wall, CNN reported.
The network says Lynch also wrote “Is thinkin, which lucky girl will be my first of 2010!!.”
“We have spoken to Facebook and we are trying to trace him from the information we have,” Suffolk police spokesperson Anne-Marie Breach told CNN. “We’re also asking for help from members of the public.”
Lynch was serving a seven-year prison term for aggravated burglary before his escape, according to the cable news network.
“Obviously we’re taking what he’s saying on Facebook with a pinch of salt because he’s now aware that people may be reading what he’s writing,” Breach told CNN.
Regardless, his nearly 4,000 fans are cheering him on.
“Lol great job man, good luck from france,” reads a fan’s recent comment.
Lynch’s most recent posting reads “nearly made it to christmas. merry christmas to the supporters x.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Is it cool for this convict to use Facebook? Or should the social networking giant intervene?
Terrorists know about Facebook?
As The Washington Post reported on Sunday: “ ‘Online recruiting has exponentially increased, with Facebook, YouTube and the increasing sophistication of people online,’ a high-ranking Department of Homeland Security official said. … ‘Increasingly, recruiters are taking less prominent roles in mosques and community centers because places like that are under scrutiny. So what these guys are doing is turning to the Internet,’ said Evan Kohlmann, a senior analyst with the U.S.-based NEFA Foundation, a private group that monitors extremist Web sites.”
You heard it here first kids, Osama bin Laden has his own youtube channel where he has tutorials on how to make jihad as well as how to do a smoky eye like Kim Kardashian.

So is it safe to assume that all those guys who keep friending me due to my superhot prof pic are terrorists? Is this just another plot by karl rove/GWB/scientology to convice me that everytime I use facebook, I help a terrorist via the 2001 anti-drug campaign that said potheads were responsible for 9/11?
Terrorists are everywhere. Even on myspace. So next time you get out that web cam, just know that the person on the other side of the computer you’re performing suggestive acts for may just be stealing your IP address to reroute flight paths.
