Idiot steals gas from cop car, posts picture on Facebook, and goes directly to jail.
From Gizmodo: This is Michael Baker. Michael is 20 years old, lives in Kentucky, and likes The Bucket List on Facebook. I know these things because Michael has not activated his Facebook privacy settings, which is something that’s recommended in most cases but absolutely essential if you’re going to post pictures of yourself stealing gas from a cop car on your wall.
The theft occurred last month, according to The Smoking Gun; that’s when Baker raised his middle finger at his girlfriend’s camera while slurping up gas from a Jenkins City police cruiser. He was arraigned yesterday in Letcher County District Court.
Baker has since taken down the incriminating photo, as well as a few updates he had apparently left along the way (sample: “yea lol i went too [sic] jail over facebook.”). Which, yes, lol indeed.

Luckily Facebook did not exist when I was in a band. Nontheless, I was guilty of inviting all my friends to some random bar on a Tuesday night at 11 p.m. to see us play a gig. The reality hits you hard when you realize no one wants to see your shitty band.
Here is how that Facebook thread might look for the person you know that’s in a band.
Help me expand the Duck Duck Gray Duck flock by “Liking” my Facebook page. It only takes a moment and will give you another way to stay on top of new content and share it with your friends.
Help a brother out!
A new study shows why people drop you as a Facebook friend.
23% of people unfriend for depressing comments; 20% for “lack of interaction” (sorry, dead people!); 14% for “political comments”; 11% for “breakup/divorce”; 8% for “don’t like their friends” (you just chuckled in recognition, didn’t you?); “update profile too often” and “they add too many people” tied at 6% and “they don’t update often enough” coming in last at 3%.
I’m guilty of some of these.
Summary (as Gawker put it) - “Your Racist, Shilling, Sad Sack Status Updates Are Why People Keep Unfriending You”
So if you don’t care and want to lose all your friends immediately, just post the following status update every five minutes for a week:
Why can’t [members of racial group] be more like [members of other racial group] and vote for [political party]? Buy my homemade jewelry so that I won’t have to kill myself.

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The Web site’s membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students when it launched in February 2004, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University.
As of July 2011, Facebook had more than 800 million active users.
1. Is it just me, or do Old Dutch Dill Pickle chips taste different now? It’s like they changed the ingredients or something. If you have noticed this, please reply.

4. Political correctness run amok. Nursery World Magazine reported that Anne O’Connor, who is an “equality and diversity consultant” for school districts, thinks we should replace white writing paper with other colored paper in the classroom and replace witches’ black hats with a pink ones for Halloween as a way to prevent kids from becoming racist.

5. Facebook is kinda becoming terrifying I think. I have seen it ruin relationships. I have seen updates from people that make them look bad. I have ”friends” that have completely dropped any form of human interaction and insist to only be communicated with via Facebook. I’m not saying Facebook is all bad. A lot of it is fun. I just wonder what the long-term ramifications of it will be. Here are some things about Facebook that should scare you:

6. Here is some good insight on the recession, and why it is here to stay. Factories were at the center of the industrial age. That age is now over due to new technology and efficiency that does everything faster, cheaper, and smarter. If you want to save American jobs by creating more factories, you can’t. We don’t need those jobs anymore. Seth Godin says “Job creation is a false idol,” and explains why here.
7. So the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced nominations this week. RUSH apparently was snubbed again despite having the more gold and platinum albums than any artist except The Beatles (#1) and Elvis (#2).
Sweet mother of all things holy…
The Dorito taco shell is a reality. There has been a Facebook campaign (aptly titled “Taco Shells Made From Doritos Movement”) for quite some time but according to the page, they were not informed that the product is now actually in development. It is unclear if or when this product will be nationally available, but if you’re in the Toledo, Ohio area, you may just be in luck, as it’s one of the test markets for the bright orange nacho cheese shells.
