As you know, I have dumped Facebook, and I still think Twitter is a giant wank. But if you guys want to be fucktards and tell everyone in the fucking universe what you are up to… Go ahead… But be warned by this BBC story from Great Britain… "Apparently the police spend their time trawling private information on Facebook looking for criminals. 'Riot police stormed a man's 30th birthday barbecue for 15 guests because it was advertised as an "all-night" party on Facebook. Four police cars, a riot van, and a force helicopter were dispatched to a privately-owned field in a small village near Sowton, Devon on Saturday, ordering the party shut down or everyone would be arrested. The birthday barbecue was busted up before they even had a chance to plug the music in. It was about 4pm when eight officers with camouflage pants and body armor jumped out of their vehicles and ordered everyone out. They had camouflage uniforms and body-armor, they kept on insisting it has been advertised it as an all-night rave on the internet.” So, there you go, fuck around with Facebook and the police will fuck you… In fact, I suggest all the twats out there should tweet that right now.
Not surprised!
I know, I know and about this too:

Typical. That's what happens when asshats doen't read the manual and just let it all hang out.
What's next? Osama tweets his location away? Dubya reveals on Facebook that he actually couldn't find his ass with both hands and a map?

"PUT THOSE SAUSAGES DOWN AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!"
Was that a line from " 'Allo 'Allo" ?
I read that headline and suddenly I can't get Gorden Kaye' s wonderful face out of my head.
I'm now waiting for you to use "The Fallen Madonna With the Big Boobies" as a post illustration.
