Girls Gone Wild on Facebook

Started by Nick O'Neill · 10 months ago

Today, Fox News, the most objective news site on the planet, posted a gallery of girls that had posted drunk photos of themselves. Where did they post those photos? On Facebook of course! There are close to 5,000 photos now posted in a group called “30 Reasons Girls Should ... Continue reading »

  • No real point to this one.
  • Fox News, objective?
  • Nick, I also noticed in the photoset, a bit of 'enterprising' ad placement.

    Somebody seems to have joined the group and dropped an ad for their business in; it's picture 9.

    I blogged about it here:

    Really enjoying your FaceBook analysis, it's enabling me to make sense of all the fast-paced change there, keep up the good work,

    Mike.
  • Does anyone else see this as a double standard? Where's the "30 Reasons Guys Should Call it a Night" group? Guys post stupid drunk photos of themselves on Facebook all the time. I want to see a gallery of those on FOX News.

    The problem here is that women can't win. If we stay in or don't feel like partying it up to the hilt, we're prudes, boring or sticks in the mud. If we go out and live it up, we're drunken whores with deficient morals.

    Yes, it's bad judgment to post photos of yourself puking in a bucket or passed out in your underoos on Facebook. But half the photos in the group are of girls making silly faces or dancing together. There's nothing wrong with that other than society seems to have a problem with women having fun.

    I've noticed that a lot of these groups -- "All Women are Crazy," anyone? -- have cropped up on Facebook since they became more MySpaceified. There's a lot more misogyny going on than there used to be.
  • Hey Teresa,

    In the second paragraph I stated "in this group or a similar one." I myself was wondering if somebody would make the guys version of the group. I'm sure there are some good pictures for those.

    I wouldn't say that this was being portrayed as all women, just the few high school girls that decided to post these pictures of themselves in one group. I'm sure some stupid guys will do the same thing as well (if they haven't already).

    I won't say anything else on this matter :)
