People can't help themselves. Facebook doesn't help them much either.
For weak-willed humans have feelings and foibles. Then they air them on Facebook, and suddenly their faces are red and their slips are pink.
So along comes a blog called The Facebook Fired, which serves as a memorial to those who expressed themselves out of their jobs by expressing themselves publicly.
The most recent post concerns 14 lifeguards from El Monte who made a Gangnam-style video of themselves and posted it to YouTube.
They were divested of their costumes for using city property for their own benefit.
The fully aware will have noticed that this story didn't concern Facebook. Yes, The Facebook Fired has a liberal definition of itself.
However, another recent tale tells of Anya Cintron Stern, who clearly thought she was performing a public service. She is the lawyer who thought it wise to display her client's underwear on Facebook. No, really.
It didn't cause a stink. Well, other than that little mistrial.
