Web Site Laments Parents Joining Facebook

by Lee Bains on February 9, 2009 at 04:47 PM



As we've mentioned before, there is no Internet experience quite as mortifying as having your folks find you on Facebook. In fact, one ten-day-old Web site -- aptly titled 'Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook.' -- is solely devoted to airing the embarrassment, we learned today from Buzzfeed. On the site, users can submit the best of the worst Facebook exchanges they've had with parents, apparently getting some kind of catharsis from doing so.

Our favorite? One uber-hip dad who exclaimed, via Facebook status:
I also [sic] great numbers for my diabetes from the doctor today too! Woot-Woot!
All this begs the question: How do you say, "When are you going to get a real job?" in leet-speak? [From: Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook. via Buzzfeed]
