Lessons Learned

Here's what I've learned so far from my job dealing with inappropriate content on the social networking website:

1) Inevitably, when men older than 30 are flagged for inappropriate behavior, it's because they're spamming. And specifically, because they're telling all the sweet young things on the site how hot they are, and asking if they'd like to be friends. (Although about half the time, what they're asking is much, much worse than that.)

2) Just like you can guarantee that the people you'll see at a nude beach are the ones you'd least like to see naked, you can also guarantee that the men who feel the need to post pictures of their penises have the least to be showing off. (Not that I condone anyone posting pictures of their penis. Or any other body parts that are regularly covered with clothing, for that matter.)

3) You really can do amazing things with Photoshop these days. In the past two days, I've seen fairly convincing "naked" shots of Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie.

4) There are more naked pictures of Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson than there are stars in the sky.

5) Disney's "High School Musical" is quite possible THE most annoying TV movie ever made. (And considering it's up against every TV movie that's ever been shown on Lifetime, I'd say that's quite an accomplishment.)

6) There are more people out there upset about a video of two hipster boys making out to emo music than there are people upset about the naked photos of Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. (I personally choose to be upset by the emo music--not the making out. I can't stand all these whiny hipsters crying about their feelings.)

7) I really need to think about a different job. This one makes me cranky.
