Social Networking
Posted by officerincivvies on November 21, 2008
I have many beefs with the media… and social networking… and idiots… I now have found combinations of all three.
Recently there was a south park epsidoe which inspired kids to make a facebook group called, “Kick a Ginger Day” which basically was a day to kick red haired people because they are “weird”.
Of course this kicking got one kid sent home for the day!
Of course this did not stop here…
All the way out in Sooke this series of events happened.
Now these series of events are calling for the media to get schools to ban Facebook!
edit: Even out in Calgary a beating happened, but with older kids, and now the police are looking at it as a hate crime. Of course the media seems to be over-exaggerating his injuries as the injured only had “minor bruising.”
Other schools knew of the kick a ginger day so they sent out warnings to children, which obviously ended up in scaring the young children half to death to go to school.
Even schools as far across the country and Newfoundland and Labrador were warning kids they would be “disciplined” if they participated in the events.
Oh noes.
But of course you cannot forget that lady in the states who pretended to be a boy on MySpace. She was talking with some girl who thought they were really close. Then the “boy” told her that he hated her. As a result she killed herself and the lady pretending to be the boy is getting charged with a series of ridiculous crimes.
Why can’t people just think.
