So, I'm not on Facebook, but I do have a MySpace. To be honest, I'm thinking of deleting it, because I haven't logged in since, oh, January or so. I'm thinking even more seriously about deleting it because I read this article in the NY Times about grown-ups who encroach on teens' online territory with Facebooks & MySpaces of their own.
Here's an excerpt from the article, written by a woman who gets a Facebook profile at least in part to annoy her teenage daughter:
Things were going really well, when suddenly something disturbing happened. An instant-message window appeared onscreen to deliver a verdict.
“wayyy creepy,” it said. “why did you make one!”
Ah, there she was.
“What are you talking about?” I typed innocently.
“im only telling you for your own good,” my daughter typed.
“Be my friend,” I typed.
“You won’t get away with this,” she typed. “everyone in the whole world thinks its super creepy when adults have facebooks.”
Is it in fact "super creepy when adults have facebooks"?
