Losing Face on Facebook - Five True Stories
Facebook is all over the news lately, but the headlines aren't all about valuations and advertising - there's been plenty of good old-fashioned sex and scandal as well. Here's a roundup of recent and not-so-recent misfortunes that have befallen those who carelessly post pictures on the limelight-stealing social networking site -- you'd think that people would have learned by now. Whether it's the fuzz or a hilarious Hindi a cappella group (see video above), you never know who might be prowling through your profile. As a public service, we offer our top five cringeworthy Facebook humiliations.

I understand that people will do silly and/or stupid things in their lives, but once they post pictures of them on a public website that's what the pictures become...PUBLIC! I did stupid stuff as a teen, drank, partied...but I never took a picture of myself doing it and then posted in the internet for anyone in the world to see. O.k, there was no internet in the 80's, but I compare a photo posted on the internet to putting a sign in your front yard with the pic on it......something I even knew was asking for trouble. If ya don't want anyone to see it, then why put it out there for everyone to see??????

Social Networks like these aren't actually alll that bad its the idiots behind it making it bad. You wont end up getting abducted if you don't put your address and age. People who you dont know wont see you if you dont befriend them. Use common sense!!!!

I joined becuase someone who I cared for dearly asked me to be your friend again and join facebook but now all I get is messages from her that say " I don't have anything for you!"
Tell mr, is that rude or what?

That is how i feel about online forums such as myspace and facebook lol.

I am on those networking sites and I feel that ppl should have enough sense to post certain things. You wouldn't send certain things in the mail or on the cell phone then why put it on the internet? I have been on these sites for over a year and I have managed to avoid having questionable pictures and/or things online.

Facebook used to be cool when it was only for college kids. But since they opened it up to everyone, it blows. There is a new site out there called bookwormme.com that is only for us college kids. Really! I heard final version will be out right after TG.

Personally i dont see a thing wrong with this entire thing other than the jerks who thought it was their business to turn them in,,THis is just people caught in the act of being people,,like the guy singing into his hairbrush or the fat chick poledancing in her kitchen with the refrigerater,,This is a very hard life everything fun is illegal and ridiculed,,,what was just shown didnt hurt anybody,,you have to grab some fun someplace,,and as long as it legal who cares?? play on people!! play on!!

I never cease to be amazed by those that post embarassing or private things on line for the whole world to see, then get upset when the wrong person sees it. If it's on the internet, anyone can see it, and it's a whole lot harder to get it off the internet!

College students come in all ages..for some people, well into seniorism. I don't watch stupid people doing stupid stuff. I do think it's great they are all corralled in one place though. Keep them out of my neighborhood.
