I agree, and when it’s all said and done, I think she will be.

This photo is endemic of social media in contemporary privacy conversations. She probably intended for this to be a joke seen by few and instead it turned into a national conversation being seen and discussed by the entire nation.

So many of today’s youth think they are immune from controversy yet so many incidents of youth being suspended or expelled from schools, kicked out of universities, and fired from jobs have been reported that you would think there would be a national outcry AGAINST social media; yet the beat goes on and kids continue to post their stupidity for the world to see and comment upon.

Yes and some people seem to forget when you post a “private” (direct) tweet on Twitter EVERYONE can see it. Or a reg. tweet. So many people have gotten into trouble for that—and shown off their real personalities and politics (often
hateful)

It’s disrespectful behavior, even in “oh it’s just a joke” mode. Would someone at a funeral get up and do a crazy dance or start shouting or do an Occupy-style MIC CHECK!!!? To use Rodney Dangerfield’s catch phrase, many today SHOW “no respect. No respect at all.”

If you read the details, you’ll see that this kid is really a thirty year old woman. She’s a disgrace to this country.
