Has anyone read Facebook’s Privacy Policy or their Terms? It’s really scary actually. So long as you have pictures on the site, the terms state:
By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.
So, you post a picture of yourself on Facebook. Two years down the road you get famous for that star role in the movie and Facebook sells your waste-face party pictures to People Mag? Are you kidding me?
That’s bs. I want to take my pictures off Facebook now. That’s messed up if you ask me. Be careful people. It’s not just a privacy issue. You deserve the money for those pictures. It was you after all.
I have these annoying small people, that follow me around calling me Mom. If I don’t feed them they threaten me and I don’t want Child Services on my case, as I have my hands full with the Building Inspectorate right now, so I provide vittles to shut the midget people up. Tonight, The Golden Corral sign glowed winsomely as I drove up 29 with one brat wailing ‘I’m so hungry I’m going into a diabetic coma” and another one just wailing. »Read More
2. The lame-o Bank of America protesters were back. This time they had witty Christmas tunes that were anti-Bank of America due to their funding of “immoral mining practices.”
3. The Bank of America protesters got in a fight with the bell-ringing Salvation Army folks. It was a musical fight for prime real estate. Salvation Army lost.
4. Did anyone see that ginormous truck outside Christian’s? You could barely cross the mall.
While we are dazzling ourselves at Zinc and dining at Mas and dancing to B Yo’s sexy beats at Escafe, the Flooze is being beaten with a stick, shackled to the toilet, and forced to wear orange. Yes, one of our own has been unjustly incarcerated for a crime she may or may not have committed. This is wrong! And this WILL NOT STAND!
So, I saw this one and I was thinking is this worse than the blackface incident at UVA a few years back?
Apparently, the reason this hit the news was because of incorrectly managed privacy settings on Facebook. Most of the news media won’t show the pictures, but you can see them below.
They beep out half the stuff in the interview, but obviously this is poor taste. The guy on the phone who dressed up as one of the victims explains:
It’s not that it was funny, it’s that we are notorious and infamous in the state college, so we have to do things that push the envelope just for shock value.
He sounds insensitive to me. Listen to the whole interview, look at the pictures and tell us what you think?
Penn State officials were quick to respond to the costumes.
“We are appalled that these individuals would display this level of insensitivity, indifference, and lack of common decency and sense by dressing up in this manner,” the school said.
In October, students performed a “lie-in” demonstration on the Lawn to protest slack gun control laws, in response to the tragedy at Virginia Tech. While not the research project or letter-writing campaign I might recommend, the act attracted a good amount of attention from state-wide media and higher ed outlets. See above video.
On Friday, in line with both the performance art protest method and the practice of rhyming, students held a “die-in” in front of the corner Bank of America to symbolize the deaths of coal mine workers, which they perceive the company to cause by investing in the coal industry. The Daily Progress gave it about as much attention as it deserves: 128 words.
Why do students think they can help to foil a multi-billion dollar industry via one of myriad funders, in the context of a country that’s already reforming its environmental practices in spite of an ill-willed central government? Why am I letting it bother me?
may be coming to you from a reputable journal in the future, this one’s purely prurient.
So the last girl I dated was well endowed, and by that I mean 36DDs, and I don’t just mean 36DDs, I mean the kind you’d see in Playboy, firm, perfectly shaped, and natural. The only problem was that the girl lugging them around thought they were her American Express Black Card and would get her what she wanted, when she wanted it, no questions asked. She used them as a tool, she used them as a weapon. Sometimes they were the carrot dangling from the end of the stick, sometimes they were the means to move to the front of the line or be served first, and sometimes it seemed like she thought that just showing up with them allowed her to ‘phone it in’ in the sack. Personally, I’m a C cup man myself, and firmly believe that the girls who bring a little less cleavage to the table make up for it by going that extra mile to make their partner happy when it counts. The Mae West’s out there (look it up youngsters) on the other hand seem to think they can offer less and get away with more just because of some pervasive ‘I’ll pay more to supersize it, even though I don’t need it’ attitude.
Indeed, it’s been covered by The Hook, the DP, the C-Ville and probably more. But, the only problem is NO ONE SHOWED a friggen picture where you could see Sacagawea. The issue is this:
Protestors say the Lewis and Clark statue depicts Sacagawea as subordinate because she is “cowering in the background.”
