Would you like a side order of WTF with those fries?
Sometimes I see things that break my brain.
This is one of those things. Sighted on Facebook, the content falls somewhere between comical and extremely creepy, so of course I'm publishing the whole glorious train wreck below:
.....what??
I love how "I am dead" is thrown in as an afterthought, like having pencil shavings up your butt and not having any nose or ears wasn't quite bad enough.
Bonus points if you can work out why it has a random picture of two teens hugging attached, too. As for "don't send it to me", I can't say I have any dead seven year olds missing half their face waving kitchen knives on my friends list to send this to, but oh well.
"Dude why am I getting a different friend request from you?" - some guy I know on Facebook
Why indeed. A quick search for myself on Facebook later, and....
......hello, future blog entry!
A quick rummage around the fake profile on the bottom reveals some curious things. For example,
Most of the information above is wrong. Even better than that:
.....I'm doing what with who now? Seems I can't keep my hands off the ladies, because...
I'm just THAT memorable! Well, that or she was sent a completely fake "We knew each other because.." mailblast. Finally, it appears I have a penchant for turning up on photograph pages and making random comments. Namely:
Go web go! So yeah, if you happen to get any odd things sent to you on Facebook from "Chris Boyd" (like, I rub myself in lard and think of you at night or I am your baby-daddy) then it's probably best to ignore it.
There are two idiots on a forum arguing about who hacked what. One kid claims he "hacked Yahoo" and took them offline for ten minutes. The other guy apparently "took down Scientology's website".......and then he wheels out the ultimate leet hax insult:
When I grow up, I want to be an ethnical hacker too.
"Finally i managed to trace the idiot! I located his ip, ISP, called, they gave me his info and i paid him a visit...guess what: he was 14 years old!!! LOL i wanted to kill the idiot but his parents were home. I didn't tell them but i had a little talk with him telling him to quit doing this or i`ll beat the sh... out of him. I can`t belive i went into so much trouble for a 14 years old! When i told her she couldn`t belive it...she thought i was joking...i asked her if she knew him and she said no. Probably he`s seen her myspace profile.
I wanted to tell his parents but he started crying in front of me lol. He actually started crying when i told him i sent a complaint to the police but when i told him i`m going to tell his parents he fell on his knees begging me not to do so. I will retract my complain tomorrow. Anyway at least i know the idiot is not a public threat. Thanks for the support. Who would have thought it was a 14 years old boy living a couple of streets away from me...the net these days"
Sometimes I see great things. Great, wondrous things that make me cry puppies of joy. Here, my friends, is a beautiful piece of WTF lifted from a forum somewhere.
Hey, you....you with the crackpipe? Yeah, put it down. Thanks.
I can only hope that one day, I will also be "hip to the cyber cop".
Hi, here are my questions for the Navy Seals as requested.
1) Social Networking sites have come under fire recently for allowing, shall we say, compromising pictures of people from various armed and professional forces acting in a way that the outside observer would consider to be "beneath their status". What countermeasures do you have in place to ensure the integrity of the SEALs is not compromised?
2) Are SEALs allowed to reveal their faces on the social networking sites used? Or do they have to remain undercover, maybe through use of advanced prosthetics like in Mission Impossible 3?
3) If one of your men was looking round on Myspace and happened to come across Chuck Norris...could you take him? I mean Bruce Lee kicked his ass but that was just pretending, right?
4) Who has the better films, Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme?
5) Steven Seagal said "it's not a job, it's an adventure!" - however, it took him 102 minutes to reclaim the hijacked ocean liner from the terrorists in "Under Siege". How many minutes do you think you could shave off his time, not including time spent getting it on with the naked chick in the giant cake?
6) If a SEAL can kill a Ninja but not Jet Li, are pirates awesome?
Thanks, and I should add, my userbase requested the SEALs send me a gun as reward for taking part. Please have the gun engraved with "Boydy's Boomstick" and send it over in a jiffy bag.
Okay, it's obvious that one way or another, I'm going to reply to the random, fire and forget email regarding me interviewing Navy Seals (I'll close the poll tomorrow). However, this is where it gets REALLY interesting. Poll time again:
I get a lot of really crazy stuff coming through from random people, but this really does take the cake. In fact, it probably takes the entire cake tray and a couple of maids with it:
"Hi Christopher - wanted to see if you were interested in working on a story on this topic? The Navy Seals, known for their teamwork, camaraderie and leadership, have turned to (social networking site goes here) to help their Seals interact across social network sites and communicate (and locate members) across the globe.
Interested? We have a contact at the Navy Seals that has agreed to speak with press, if you're open to that?"
....this is simply too awesome for me to make a decision on my own.
