Sir John Sawers, who is to take over as chief of the UK Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, and the new British cybersecurity organization, experienced his own personal security breach face-omelet, when his wife posted intimate details and photos of their family and friends on her Facebook profile.
Coming to the defense of spy chief Sawers, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband had this to say: “You know he wears Speedo, swim, swimming, swimsuit… I mean what is that? I mean, that’s not a state secret.”
Good point.  Regardless, this was still a major coup for SPECTRE, and you can be certain James Bond is furiously changing his privacy settings right this moment.

If you’ve been living without internet access and/or in Iran the past week, you may have missed the most heartbreaking image to sweep the world since, well, anything coming out of Iran: Megan Fox unintentionally snubbing a young, adoring fan.
But, thankfully, the noble blogosphere won’t sit idly by and allow such atrocities to cripple the hopes and dreams of this bright-eyed youth.  When made aware of the snub by an overwhelming internet response, Ms. Fox immediately offered a personal apology… if anyone could find the kid with the yellow rose.  Kodak, being the selfless-slash-opportunistic corporation it is, began a wide-reaching search to find this mystery “Flower Child” and make this face-to-face meeting of idol and idolizer a reality.  Lo and Behold, within 24 hours, Fox’s Flower Child had a name -Harvii- and his Facebook profile had been published on Gawker .
My name is THE INTERWEBZ. Gaze upon my triumphs of Good, ye Mighty, and wonder!”
…But upon closer inspection, something about Harvii’s facebook rubs me the wrong way…  Is that a picture of him with Lady Gaga?  And again with the Ugly Jonas Brother?  Is that him with those stupid gimmicky Kanye plantation-shutter sunglasses???  Methinks our sympathy has been snatched by a star-fucker…
And hold the phone, what does that say under birthdate?  “1983?!?!?!” This is no Flower Child.  This is a Flower MAN!
My name is THE INTERWEBZ. Gaze upon my works of pure, hoodwinking Evil, ye Meak, and DESPAIR!”

FACEBOOK FUN TIME!

Here’s a neat little easter egg the Facebook programmers hid in the code:

Open your Facebook homepage, then (using the arrow pad) type:

up up down down left right left right

Type “ba” and hit “enter”

Tony Blair’s sister-in-law, Lauren Booth (pictured here with her TigerBeat collage of hunky Palestinian leaders) changed her status from “Married” to “Single” just for funsies.
When her perplexed husband, Craig Darby, confronted her about the change, she changed it back, feeling guilty.  But then to add injury to insult, Darby fell into a coma the following day after a severe motorcycle accident.
Do you need any more evidence that God hates Facebook Divorces?!?!

When Headmistress Belinda Langley-Bliss sent home 61 students for dress-code violations, she didn’t consider how they would spend their free-time.
Certainly she must not have expected them to do some Facebook reconnosence into her past and organize a digital-revenge.  Amongst loose useage of the “f-word” and gloating about her breasts (‘They are fabulous aren’t they … they are now bigger - and solid!’), the students also discovered that Belinda didn’t show much respect for dress codes when she was a student herself… 20 years ago:

“Her tie was clearly visible under the back of her collar, her sleeves were scruffily rolled up above her elbows, and her hair was teased into a classic 1980s quiff.”

Students and parents are now crying shenanigans, while the rest of the world shakes its head in embarrassment for everyone involved in this dumb episode from Wilmington Enterprise College.

Long I’ve waited to see what happens when the Facebook generation starts running for office, and today I finally got to enjoy the first sweet eye-tastes:
Canadian candidate Ray Lam has withdrawn from the race after racy photos were pulled from his private Facebook profile.  Besides the one pictured above, there is another classy pic with a happy couple touching his underwear.  Sounds sexy, right?  Click on the link to see it. I’ll wait…
Kind of gross, right?  You know, on second thought, I liked it better when politicians left their scandals to our imaginations.  Facebook has ruined the romance.

This guy? A racist???  Who would have ever thought!!!
Back in March of 2007 (yeah, we’re a little behind) USC linebacker Chris Matthews (pictured above) created a Facebook group called White Nation, “as a joke,” for himself and teammates David Buehler, Brian Cushing, Dan Deckas and Dallas Sartz, who collectively had been lovingly nicknamed “White Nation” by the rest of the team.
Their Facebook group had a picture of a black baby in handcuffs and pledged of “protecting the Arian (sic) brotherhood.”
A lot of students at USC didn’t get this hilarious knee-slapper of a joke, and joined another group instead: Clay Matthews (USC football player) expresses anti-black sentiment (not as catchy a title, but at least it makes its point).
After talking it over a set of squats and a circle-jerk, Matthews and his cronies agreed to take down the site and issue an apology.
You might remember Texas’ Buck Burnette, whose similar racist gaffe got him kicked off the team.  At USC, he only would have had to apologize.  Keep that in mind, all you perspective college footballers… who just also happen to be racists.

We’ve seen universities do it, we’ve seen employers do it, and the authorities practically wrote the book on it.  Now even the NFL is getting in on the fun, setting up fake Facebook profiles to candidly and discreetly (or maybe just creepily) check out their prospective draft picks.

But let’s get a honest dialogue going here, NFL.  Maybe some good, ol’ fashion, R. Kelly-style real talk: if the next Matt Leinhart gets caught with a bunch of ASU teenies, are you honestly going to reconsider drafting his ass over a no-name, straight-arrow Skip Dickley?  Yeah, I wouldn’t either.
