You Might Be A Loser If...

Yesterday I got a FaceBook message from an old pastor friend of mine.

Hadn't heard from him in a long time, so that was cool.

Cool, until I actually opened it.

I should have known something was up from the subject head. It just read "L.O.L!"

So I open up the message and see there's a link. So I opened it up.

Bad mistake.

It takes me to some hard core porn site. My mind was reeling, because I'm still thinking that my former pastor has sent me this!

It doesn't take me long to figure out this is one of the latest attacks on the Interwebs by some Internet Spam Pushers, er, LOSER! Within moments there's a real message from my friend saying "IF YOU GET A MESSAGE FROM ME ON FACEBOOK DON'T OPEN IT!"

Too late for me.

But it did get me thinking: is there a bigger loser than someone who spams Internet porn into unsuspecting boxes? Seriously. Look, I am no angel. I have seen these sites and filled my mind with garbage. But what kind of loser tries to "sneak" their amateur porn site into people's FaceBook pages!? Imagine the time it took to "hatch" this plan. Write the code. Figure out how to trick people into opening this up. Guess what you proved to us all: that you are a LOSER!

Look. It's a free country. If you want to get down and make your own porn, that's your call. But you have no right to try to trick somebody into looking at it by sneaking it onto their social network, mobile phone, whatever.

The fact that this message looked like it was coming from a former pastor shows how random this was. I'm sure the same message landed on FaceBook pages of soccer moms, high school students, grade schoolers, grandmothers, etc. Anyone and everyone was probably exposed to this trash.

Under the title "L.O.L."

Yeah, that's hysterical.

If you're so depraved that you somehow get off on doing something like that, there's absolutely nothing funny about it. Your life is the only thing that's a joke.
