"A guy sends you a friend request. You don’t know him, but he’s got a cute profile picture, so you accept his friend request.
It’s your baby girl’s first day of school. She looks SO cute in her new outfit you just have to take a picture and put it on Facebook so all your friends and family can see.
You’re so excited dropping her off that you ‘Check in’ to her school on FB saying
‘I can’t believe how big she’s gotten. Time sure flies. One proud momma/daddy right here’.
Meanwhile, the mystery guy whose friend request you hurriedly accepted earlier this morning is saving that picture you posted of your daughter in her cute new outfit to his phone and texting it to 60 other grown men across the world with the caption –

‘American Female. Age 5.
Brown Hair. Black Eyes.
$5,000-‘.
Not only did you provide a picture of your little girl to a child trafficker, you’ve handed him the name and exact location of her school on a silver cyber platter.
You go to pick her up at 3:00 this afternoon, but she’s nowhere to be found.
Little do you know, your precious baby girl was sold to a 43 years old pedophile before you even stepped foot off campus this morning, and now she’s on her way to South Africa with a bag over her head, confused, terrified and crying because a man she’s never seen before picked her up from school, and now she doesn’t know where her parents are, where she’s going, or what’s gonna happen to her.
STOP ADDING STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK
and
STOP
posting everything about your life on Facebook.
Avoid keeping children’s pictures as profile picture.
Please SHARE it for the sake of all kids and parents."

Jesus H Christ !!!

Who the F*ck ...

a . Thinks up this SH*T
b. Believes THIS SH*T!!!

although I agree with the "Stop adding stangers, and stop posting your kids pics online" but this method ... f*ck me social media is moronic.

Has anyone noticed this new thing where people take to Facebook to announce to the world how happy they are with their new carpet / fitted kitchen / wedding dress etc

Do they get a discount for mentioning the company or something?

I saw a fairly ridiculous one today. "Actually couldn't be happier with our new fuse board" accompanied by before & after pics of the fuseboard and singing the praises of the electrician

I can just imagine this woman now settling down with a cup of tea to watch big brother, unable to keep the smile off her face thinking about her new fuseboard. I wonder have the neighbours been invited around to see it yet

I can't be the only person who has started to get these types of invites and has been added to group pages for selling and buying branded products because a friend of a friend has joined these companies and is selling door to door or throwing parties/events just so people can buy these products. The competition statuses are the worst of all.

All these of me being completely neutral about my own fuseboard, now I'm wondering if there's something I've been missing out on. To be honest, and I hate to admit it, but I've only ever given it attention when the trip switch needs resetting.

On a related note, whoever this Michael Korr chap is I'd say he's raging now his brand has been hijacked by the full time yummy mummy brigade. A bit like the English chavs with Burberry now any normal person wouldn't be caught dead wearing it

Ah, basically it's all about Wogan being a Thatcherite West Brit that betrayed his own people and will burn in hell. You know, the usual stuff that gets said when someone passes away.

Tbh - it be very hard...

there is a poem written about Sir Terry that needs to be seen...

anyway comments 147 - so here is one or two

He took the soup with a big spoon , He loved the torys, he loved Mrs Thatcher, he idolised the Royal Family , he turned his back on his religion

I don't like to hear of anybody dying but this old bastard took a knighthood from the same people who were responsible...(list of bad stuff)...Tory loving wanker

why didn't they bury this disgusting traitor alive in the same coffin with the so called charming lady who was nothing more than a wretched ****?

Friends with Thatcher must have been mates with Saville too...Sellout to his own

and so forth for 147 comments...

riveting in a car crash kinda manner...

Wow never would have expected there were people who disliked him like that. I guess those people dislike everyone though.

The people who comment on that page have a warped sense of reality.
Either that or they are not mentally right in the head.

It's one massive echo chamber. Scary really.

I often pop onto the "A call for a Revolution in Ireland" facebook page for a bit of entertainment.
The comments are cringe worthy. People will believe any guff you tell them, as long as you include a picture of minions or use the terms "banksters", "parasites" or "sheeple". Be sure to use capital letters to drive your point home.

I imagine they are the same people who went dancing on the streets when Thatcher died, people living in their own bubble away from reality.

In the same comments section several of them are criticising Wogan for his views on the Hillsborough disaster and stating "justice for the 92".

To say these people are stupid is an insult to stupid people.

Did it not occur to her to maybe buy her son a history book, or turn on the History Channel instead of the Jeremy Kyle Show?

It is a tough choice to teach a kid either history or their future.
