Facebook Forced To Let You Vote On Privacy Changes
What Will Google Announce Next Week?
UK Teacher Reprimanded for Online Thong Pics
Natasha Gray, a P.E. teacher at Manor Community College in Cambridge, England, has landed herself in a bit of hot water for posting provocative photos of herself, wearing a thong, on the modeling Web site iModel.com. Gray, voted the UK's sexiest teacher on a television show in 2002, has been soliciting modeling work on the side through iModel, where the eight risqué images were posted. Ben Slade, headteacher of Manor Community College, said that Miss Gray would not be suspended, but did say that he had asked her to remove the photos, telling her that publishing such images is completely inappropriate for someone in her position.
While all this certainly wasn't the brightest move on Gray's part, the pictures aren't pornographic. And, despite Slade's apparent moral indignation, Manor Community College certainly didn't seem to object when Gray was parading herself around on stage, in revealing outfits, for that iTV show.

Losing Face on Facebook
Facebook is going to rewrite the book on standard office excuses, at least for its shortsighted users. Kevin Colvin, an intern at Anglo Irish bank, thought that had an ironclad story when he asked off to attend to a "family emergency." When his boss was alerted to this fresh picture posted to his Facebook profile during his absence, that story lost just a tad of its believability -- unless he was curing Aunt Hattie with his magical powers and a potent hoppy elixir. We're sure that posting the picture seemed like a good idea at the time, Kevin, but you were sadly mistaken. Same goes for that costume.
Students at Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey were shocked and confused when the news trucks rolled up to get the scoop on a set of Facebook photos. Obtained by a nosy parent, the pictures featured underage drinking that led to the suspension of school athletes. Many saw the role of the photos in the punishments as legally questionable, but despite organized protests and other umbrage, many students opted to just take their own racy Facebook pictures down as soon as possible. Live and learn, everyone -- just don't post visual evidence of it happening on your profile.
Even the charmed lives of beauty queens can be dragged through the mud by Facebook photos taken far away from the pageant stage. Miss New Jersey Amy Polumbo discovered this firsthand over the summer when she was the target of a strange "blackmail plot" centered on profile images of her partying and carrying on in a less than royal fashion. She ended up releasing the photos herself, and soon everyone was wondering what the fuss was all about -- from venture capitalists to gossip reporters, Facebook has a tendency to get people riled up.
Thinking about shoplifting some clothing? Here's a tip -- think twice before posting pictures of yourself modeling the hot merchandise on Facebook. Two students at Radford University in Virginia learned this lesson the hard way when a store owner was tipped off and found the incriminating images on Facebook. A stroke of the 'print' button, a trip to the police office, and the bust was complete.
This story -- women who show little discretion in their alcohol consumption and even less when documenting their misadventures on their profiles -- seems to have started the most recent wave of Facebook embarrassments. While it's difficult for many to understand the personal pride and motivation behind such excess, it's even more mind-boggling to know that these exploits are being glorified online for all to see. Mom must be proud, and potential employers are surely beating down the doors.

Believably unsexy and non sexually provacative. A stylish teacher getting repromanded for nothing but some underware showing. Was this picture taken at school or what? Did not think so. She is a stripper on the side, I dont know and dont care. She makes extra money on the side by modeling. If the parents are looking for that kind of stuff on the net, they should keep there mouths shut for being sickos if they did not like it, should not be looking if it bothers them. Come on adults your acting like children seeing muff or stick shift and ball bearings for your first time. Besides that you got to have quite imagination to find the picture a problem with teaching. Shut your eyes clothes your mouths and wash your pensils with soap and water. Now its all better!

TO MASTERSHAKE: WE HAVE A LOT OF CRIMINALS IN THE UNITED STATES AND A BIG MAJORITY WE GOT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. OTHER COUNTRIES HATE THE USA, BECAUSE WE ARE FREE!! I LOVE MY COUNTRY AND WOULD NOT TRADE MY FREEDOM TO LIVE IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY WHERE WOMEN ARE NOT TREATED AS EQUALS. PEOPLE LIKE YOU THEY SHOULD NOT LET INTO THIS COUNTRY. WE SHOULD SEND ALL THE RIFT-RAFT BACK TO THE COUNTRIES FROM WHENCE THEY CAME. GOOD RIDDENS TO YOU!!!

It did'nt bother anyone when Clinton had sex in the White House with that "other woman". All I heard from his supporters was "it's his business and it does not affect his role as Presient" why should it be any different for this teacher. Showing her thong does not affect her teaching ability - get over it folks!!!!!

MASTER SHAKE... can I move in with you?? I'm sick of America! For the first time in my life, I am ashamed of my country! If I could, I would move in a minute!

I have two competing thoughts on this. One, she is teaching at the adult level. Two, but how much does credibility and respect mean to her as a teacher and role model? This is a case of two separate careers in which one can cause the other to suffer. What is the college's policy governing behavior unbecoming an educator in their facility? I have to say, I might be concerned about the influence on my 18-yr.-old son being taught by a softcore porn model. I might be even more concerned by my daughter being influenced by the same teacher.

If she was a teacher of a k-12 school, i could see the concern. but as it is, she is a teacher of a college, where most of the students are of age, and most likely have seen it all before. the fact that she was voted sexiest teacher might have alot to do with all the hoopla. im thinking some of the not soo sexy teachers might be envious and jealous of this and that is why it even made headlines. everyone needs to live in their own damn worlds and mind their own business. just another example of trying to hold someone down for expressing, or in this case, flaunting what shes got.

Hello Master Shake,
"Yes" you are right about much of what you have written here. As an American I see the same rubbish that you talk about here each and everyday. Never out of all the other Countries I have visited, lived and/or worked in and Honorably served in with the Military, have I seen so many pompous, arrogant, and ignorant people in any one Country outside of the US. If they weren't such a bunch of cry-baby-asses with so little spine of integrity they'd see exactly what the rest of the World sees and the Rest of the US, the percentage that is actually worth the damn, primarily a vast percentage of Military members and veterans. It shows how pathetic so much of this Country has become in the way people here drive and raise their children, they don't have a clue. Other Countries primarily Central to Western Europe do not have the any-where near the amount of sexual crimes and predators that the US has nor do they have any-where close to the amount of daily crimes being committed either. It is fact, that repressed poeple will act out. The repression here is done, pushed and acted on by some of the most scared and cowardly people on the Earth to include those who are insecure in their own sexuality. There will be hate replies to this message, but it'll only go to prove what this message says, is being the truth. To All the Brothers and Sisters here in the US that know the actual Truth and Reality, I Salute You! To the rest the large majority of sissified whiners and cry-babies, dig a big hole in a designated hazzardous materials waste site, take your families and jump in and pull the dirt in over you. To you Master Shake, "have a Nice Day Brother."
Signed: One Each, disgusted Military Veteran.
