I’m a huge fan of modern technology and I’m elated that we have such things but sometimes there comes a point and time when it gets to be over the top creepy. Let me explain…
I work with this really weird dude who got himself a mail order bride…she’s in Thailand. She forces him to SKYPE at all times so she can see what he’s doing and make sure he’s not talking or looking at any GIRLS. (She is still in Thailand finishing up paperwork to come over and live happily ever after in a skypless world with this freak).
First off, this guy is a short, fat, bald…fifty-something…I hate to say it, but the chicks aren’t exactly clamoring to him. But this chick (mail order bride) thinks he’s some sort of Hugh Hefner, with hot young girls frollicking all over him.
One day I’m at work minding my own business…and I walk by a computer screen with a forty-something year old woman putting on her goddamn pajamas. I do a double take and ask any co-workers looming around the area. ”Is there a woman in bed staring at us?” Does anyone else think this is pretty fucking odd?
A few people nod in agreement. Then a few minutes later, I see her brushing her hair and staring at me. I wave. Then I gather up some more employees and ask them if they want to flash her with me.
Anyways, according to this dude…THAT IS FUCKING LOVE. Not crazy ass psychotic behavior. Apparently, she makes him have the webcam on his bed at night so she can watch him sleep.
So that is totally freaking weird but how about FOURSQUARE? I like to call it “stalker tool”…people constantly updating where they are at, you know…in case there are any stalkers out there who need help finding you. Or any rapists looking for easy victims.
I actually joined Foursquare and only put locations I was NOT at that I thought would be funny to check into…also to make my four square friends think I’m a total social deviant. Places like the LA county jail, the morgue, various cemeteries around town…you get the jist.
I guess modern technology makes nothing a secret anymore…(unless you use fake names on all your profiles like I do).
