If you have lots of time to waste and have plenty of Pepto-Bismol on hand take a look at the junk that passes for important news on places like YouTube and FarceBook. Many people have no concept of the fact that when they put up all these stupid pictures and videos that they have a half-life that's longer than nuclear waste and will eventually come back to bite you good and solid, especially when you go job hunting.

Today's popular culture hardly discourages the kind of activity that this woman did, and unfortunately in too many circles it is celebrated. Expect things to get worse and not better.
Great post!
