Who cares? Facebook sucks!

I totally agree with you there!

If you're using the internet period, your ass is being watched.

Interesting, considering I am sitting on my ass.

One of the many reasons I don't use Facebook

If companies are using the information gathered from facebook to scout potential employees, then I can see the benefits and the negative aspects of this. You are "interviewed" before being interviewed. Such is the way of the digital age.

YOUR face sucks

I'm not too bothered about this. I use it a lot, but I sure as hell don't stick any personal information down, other than my name and DOB.

Red Bull is now alcoholic?

 

[BlackLantern]

no..but it is the official drink of *****ebags

 

[JayCaz]

Jeez, in that case, if I ever get arrested for a driving offence I'm getting 10 years if the judge sees my Facebook;

The car was stationary though to be fair.

I hear that, only people who wear Hollister, have blonde hair, and wear pink polos drink that ****.

Hey, watch the Red Bull bashing...I love that ****. I don't drink alcohol though, and am black, so most of the above don't apply to me.

Oh Terry. I went to catch a movie one night and these two girls driving a Red Bull car drove up to me and asked if I wanted a free package, I knew there was two Red Bulls in there and something else which I can't remember, but I do remember saying no thanks.

The last time I was at a party, my friend was taking photos of everyone, and I asked that she not take photos of me holding a drink in my hand. Not that I'm going to be drunk driving/crashing anytime soon, but I wouldn't want a future employer to think I'm a drunk.

And I might have dressed up as a prisoner too if there was a possibility of me going to jail. It's easier to handle things when you make fun of them.

 

[BlackLantern]

smart move...lots of employers these days are going through MySpace and Facebook for potential employees....the last thing one needs is you applying for a decent job and there is a picture of you online table dancing in a diaper

Yeah, cause if there are pictures of you with a drink in your hands you must be a drunk. No one should ever drink if they plan on getting a job at any time.

But that's ****ing stupid. If I'm a good employee on the clock, why should I get fired/not hired over what I do in my personal time, provided it's not illegal. If I found out that I didn't get a job strictly because theres pictures of me being a drunken ******* on my Myspace, and theres a buncha videos of me Rapping on it, I'd sue the **** out of that company and make sure I'd never even need their ****ty job in the first place.

Sue them on what grounds - not hiring you for the public image you have promoted of yourself online? Don't think you'd get very far. Best to pick your employers, carefully. Better yet, work for yourself.

 

[Manic]

Remember, folks: if you get caught drunk driving, do NOT go to any parties before the judge can carry out his/her sentence, and promptly remove all pictures from your Facebook and MySpace accounts.

 

[X-Punisher]

Those pics are SO CASH!!!

I agree with Soulless, Myspace and Facebook should be off grounds for employeers. What you do in your personal life has no grounds in what you do in your professional life. :

Yeah, but I've known people in the corporate biz that Google every ****ing person they call for an interview, just to see what comes up in a search. Is it right? No...but it's public domain. I would suggest searching your own name to see what pops up, just to be safe.
