With the advent and viral popularization of social networking sites, like Myspace or that new one–uh, what’s it called? Facetome? Facepamphlet? Facebook! That’s definitely it–anyone can find out anything about anybody, anytime. Anyway, as the face of youth interaction rapidly changes, it seems only natural that the face of parent-child interaction would, likewise, change. Thus, old people started making themselves Facebooks and new moral conundrums were conceived.
Should you accept your mom’s friend request? How should you respond when your dad’s ex-co-worker’s girlfriend’s brother writes on your wall just to say hey and to tell you that from the looks of your pictures, you really know how to have a good time? So many possibilities for awkwardness, yet so many possibilities for hilarity to ensue!
Enter “Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook,” the new Tumblr blog where you can send in horror stories (or screen shots) of your parents or older otherwise loved ones actin’ like fools, trying to navigate their way through this newfangled series of tubes, and the people at OCMPJF will make fun of them for you. Ah, sweet catharsis through empathy.
Speaking of old people on Facebook, head on over to Tom Bates’s page and wish him a happy birthday while you still can. He turned the big eight seven-one today.
