The Onion's usual insight shows parents how they can stalk their children and interfere in their lives  
In other words, how NOT to be a parent 
(content warning: the video contains some minor vulgar text)

Heh, my mom just joined facebook, so I quickly did some selective untagging of photos from a few years ago.

if I had any kids they would have to be very very sneaky to get past me.
Good thing about being a geek - it is easy to snoop online  | | |

But GPS in the mobile phones are be a blessing. Some trojan horses and key loggers on home computers and perhaps electronic leg irons and other fun things.

| Nah.. You'd just be like one of those cops who goes for the subtle approach of making sure no visible marks are left Quote: |

| Pretty much my sentiments exactly... *shudder*
I mean, it's satire, but I can actually see a lot parents being that way.
Because I value my own privacy, I also value my son's privacy, and I'd never snoop on him like that, I was horrified..

Potential employers will call him a mother's boy, and girls will avoid him like the plague.
