A word on Facebook’s new “timeline”:
Whoooooooo cares. If you were stupid enough to put every last detail of your life onto Facebook, then you deserve to have to go through 3 years of old status updates to remove the embarrassing ones. I have the same amount of sympathy for people who complain that Facebook doesn’t give you any privacy. Dumbshits! YOU have FULL control over what you put...

Chapter 5, The Hemulen
lolinnea:
