3 more things that are weird about the world that are weird about Facebook

NEWS ITEM Mentally ill man attacks a head of state; mentally ill people create a Fan Page.

• • • Oops -- It's a tragedy (in the classical literature sense) when people who desire attention through Facebook get their petards hoisted. It's a comedy (in every sense) to have those captured and collected. New selectivity settings in the privacy protocols might have prevented most of those.

• • • Assassination -- Asking if the President should be killed will have the Secret Service come looking for you. Attitudes that spawn the 2 above citations, make this 1 no less shocking, but not surprising.

• • • Porn -- Note to newbies (this won't be the last time you hear this): Don't click on everything. Anti-porn zealots keep site clean (it's about the commerce); girls just wanna have fun (and make their moms nervous).
