interesting take on FB in the New Yorker:

esp like the bit about "gratitude challenges" masked as punishment beneath a veneer of positivity

I don't get the cake one at all. TBH my first attempt to make sense of it is that it's pro hetereo anal sex but anti-gay?

I think it's actually a very straightforward and boring claim: I LOVE CHOCOLATE vs. OTHER KINDS OF CAKE

Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 3 October 2014 02:32 (nine years ago) link

bag on head might need some explaining at passport control?

john wahey (NickB), Friday, 3 October 2014 12:20 (nine years ago) link

immigration control should have a watch list of handsome 43 year-olds travelling to South Africa accompanied by 5 year old girls with bags over their heads

No, the cute pic was a fake!

You know what paedos look like, right?

Mark G, Friday, 3 October 2014 12:46 (nine years ago) link

I would think they're loading a shipping container with 5 year olds or something because there's no way it'd be cost effective to escort individuals to South Africa one at a time at a mere $2500.

$2500? Seems kind of high-risk/low-reward for kidnapping and sex trafficking.

Would take some serious Ebay-like IT efficiency to initiate, conduct and complete a whole child sex trafficking e-auction in the few seconds between the time you "check in" at your child's school and the time you step foot off campus.

Meanwhile, the mystery guy whose friend request you hurriedly accepted earlier this morning is texting 60 other grown men across the world with the caption "Caucasian female. Age 5. Brown hair, green eyes. 40 bucks."

I envision a dark future where child sex trafficking e-auctions are fully automated like stock trading and the dirty business of doing the actual abduction is handled by robot copter drones.

do American schools just let 6 year-old kids walk off with anybody at the end of the day?

Chimp Arsons, Friday, 3 October 2014 16:26 (nine years ago) link

5 year-olds even

Chimp Arsons, Friday, 3 October 2014 16:26 (nine years ago) link

Yes, because the market demands it.

Chimp Arsons, Friday, 3 October 2014 16:28 (nine years ago) link

On a related note, some guy in the UK got jailed today for selling fake bomb detectors that could also allegedly be used to detect trafficked people thusly:

The instruction manuals that accompanied their products claimed the user’s static electricity would power the aerial to move if it detected the substance it was searching for. The device could supposedly track down missing people – including, it was claimed, Madeleine McCann – by simply putting a photo of the individual in the box

Chimp Arsons, Friday, 3 October 2014 16:47 (nine years ago) link

Egyptian government bought 1,000,000 of the things and they're using them to detect HIV and hepatitis :/

πŸ’ͺ😈⚠️ (DJP), Friday, 3 October 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link

i remember the original TV reports from maybe 2 years back, that governments were buying these things was unbelievable then

paedos of wigan got the look bang on:

He was described as white, in his late 50s, 6ft and slim, with short grey hair, stubble and yellow teeth. He was wearing a long black coat with stains on, bare legs from the knees down and grey shoes.
