It is not an addiction to alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, coffee or even sex.
I have an addiction to facebook.
And the alarming reality is- I am not the only one.
Let us examine this situation for a second, from a non-biased, non-self involved point of view, shall we?
So basically, millions of people around the world, post their identity on the Internet, free for anybody to see and access information, submit photos which will become the property of an online organisation, permanently. The new profile system gives teenagers the opportunity to show what school they attend and where they work, seemingly handing information to all those pedophiles out there like giving salad to a fat kid.
It just doesn't seem right.
It is quite easy for anybody to find out your whole life story, from who your parents are, where you go to school, where you work, where you like to go, who you got drunk with last night...
I mean, if I was a pedo, I wouldn't waste my time hanging out in the bushes near the local playground next to my white van, armed with candy, ready to pick up some innocent little kids.
Hell no! I would log straight onto facebook, make my dp a hot guy/girl and add anyone I wanted to, like a kid in a candy store (ok enough with the kid analogies). Then I could stalk their albums of them in "candid" shots, only wearing underwear, the traditional standing-in-front-of-a-mirror-with-my-iphone-wow-I'm-awesome-pose, the obvious natural concealer-on-the-lips-shot and the terribly photoshoped on microsoft paint/photoshop so that you look more fake then a figurine in a wax museum.
I think you may get the message. And I think I may need to get off facebook and stop imagining my life as a pedo.
dear girls, we did not ask you to advertise our phones in such a tacky and unattractive fashion, sincerely, phone companies.
