(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 :mischief:

Indeed. Any kids you had would probably feel as though they had a cop as a parent

Well - not a cop, cause they have to follow the law whereas parents are more ..... free to take irrational precautions and consequences :laugh:
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.
(I think it is a good thing I'm child-free.....
)

For the sake of the child, I couldn't agree more.

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

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..

For years to come, her kid is gonna get a hard time just because what hid dear old momma did. Potential employers will call him a mother's boy, and girls will avoid him like the plague.

Satire? And here was I thinking it was for real!
So... the Onion is a satirical mag, huh? I'm afraid I never heard of it before...
