Poor girls can’t win at anything!!

Rule of thumb: Never text ex’s or send messages when under the influence of alcohol…we have all done it. I’ve done a few beauts in my time. Cringe city!!

This approach also applies to social media updates whether that be on Facebook, Twitter or MySpace where the activity can be done quickly and spontaneously with potentially disastrous results or hilarious results depending on what way you look at it. I would be of the hilarious outlook.

I think this shall become a more popular venture in the future. Imagine it though, after clubing hit private chat on FB. Everybody online demented. The truth would be revealed. Possibly shouldn’t have shared that idea I could make millions yet.

So don’t or do hit drunken FB or Twitter like my feathered friend Feargal “Monse” O’Reilly who has used this many a night…a modern day legend to be fair.

Here is the top ten list of all those who have suffered the wrath of social media.

1. King Nerd

Second Life is a virtual world where users can play out real-life fantasies. Amy Taylor in Newquay, England, found this out. Taylor told the Western Morning News that she filed for divorce after walking in on her husband having a virtual affair on the service…she must be horrific enough to be two timed virtually. The two met in a chat room and had held a marriage ceremony in Second Life. A modern day Cinderella story.

Virtual over reality bad call out of Amy’s ex. Better off with out him girl. 1 – 0 females.

2.  Facebook Strkes Again

The draw of social media is compelling…even when you’re burglarizing a home. The Journal, a West Virginia newspaper, tells the story of how Jonathan Parker, a 19-year-old, was busted for felony daytime burglary after leaving his FB account logged into his victim’s computer. He had apparently used the computer to check his FB status. Good man bud hawking at every opportunity.

Burgular FB definitly takes a point. 1 – 1

3. Indecent Proposal

Cheryl Smith’s husband found a “hot singles” ad on his FB page that he’ll never forget… the “hot single” was Smith herself. Facebook rushed to note the ad was from an outside advertiser, not the company, but the incident underscored what could happen if you keep loose privacy settings around the net.

Nobody deserving of a point due to false pretences. 1 – 1

Note: Facebook settings can allow you to be placed without you knowledge or consent into an ad.. to fix this setting and read instructions on how to prevent this happening click here

4. Twittering Goon

President Obama knows first hand the consequences of loose lips and social media. In an off-the-record chat with the press, he told reporters that rapper Kanye West’s stunt on Taylor Swift at the  ’09 VMA’s was “inappropriate” and made him look like a “jackass.” It did to be fair I had one of those look away from  TV moments. Nightline co-anchor Terry Moran tweeted the comment, then deleted the comment, but the presidential gossip spread like wildfire.

Lose a point for us males. All Terry’s seem to slip up and leave us down…har har. 1  - 0 females.

5.  Relationship Status: Public

Neil Brady made his relationship frustration public…very public…after he asked his wife for a divorce on FB and the U.K.’s Daily Mail got wind of it. “Neil Brady has ended his marriage to Emma Brady,” the status update read.What a man. I was always with Neil… add insult to injury. Although the publication called the incident the world’s first divorce by Facebook, it hopefully won’t be the last.

Two points for that move utilising social media to the fore. 2 – 1 males.

6. The Twitt

Graduate student Connor Riley was pondering whether to take a high-paying internship at networking giant Cisco and tweeted herself out of a job opportunity: “Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Joseand hating the work.” A Cisco employee spotted the post and informed Riley that she’d pass it along to her hiring manager. Riley told MSNBC that she had already turned down the opportunity.

Undecided whether to award or deduct. Bragging boast nullified by being a  dumb dumb/loser no points given either way. Still 2 – 1 males.

7. You Are Who Your Friends Are

People looking at your social network accounts can surmise a lot about you. A pair of male MIT students showed that it’s possible to guess sexual orientation based on their online friends. They call the project “MIT Gaydar”.

Innovation props to ye two, very true. Equals 3 – 1 males.

8. Lady’s Take A Bow

Cody Redenius’ ex-girlfriend saw him posing with a shotgun in a Facebook profile and reported it to local police in Dane County. Wis. Redenius (haha best name ever) was under a domestic abuse injunction that prohibited him from being in possession of a firearm. The photo was enough to get him arrested.

Absolutely phenomenal play out of her. Well done lady’s 3 points for that ingenious move. 4 – 3 females.

9. Halloween H20 Fairy

Banking intern Kevin Colvin told his bosses at Anglo Irish Bank that “something came up at home” and that he had to immediately return to New York. Major family emergency, right? Nope. Someone had tagged a Facebook photo of Colvin at a Halloween party wearing a fairy outfit and holding a can of beer.

Yes lik… if he didn’t get caught out it was a guaranteed 3 pointer however we will deduct two for stupidity reasons. 4 – 4 draw

10. Root Beer Bust

Police officers find out about under-age drinking parties from kids’ event postings on Facebook. Dustin Zebro, an 18-year-old Wisconsin high school student, decided two can play that game: He threw a root beer ‘keggar’, and cops took the bait…what a move. Ninety breath tests later, all the party goers were cleared, but the “bust” was videotaped and uploaded to YouTube.

90 points rewarded. 94 – 4 males.

Hard luck lases better luck next year. Dustin you saved us big style.
