I'd hack my wife to death with a meat cleaver if she was all pixelated like that.

This T-Shirt is actually alright.

Despite the massive pixelation it is a fair call to say I would hit that, forcefully if need be, as if there were no tomorrow. Not advertising rape as an effective resolution to a dysfunctional marriage, but if you commit a crime of passion for which you'll be obviously caught, I would choose something a tad more fulfilling.

I lived with a couple that were dating. There was a promise ring exchanged, but no engagement. However the girl changed the facebook status to engaged at some point, and the guy had to accept.

But one day he changed it back to in a relationship.

My god, did this girl freak out. Tears, tantrum, the whole bit. She kept calling it a slap in the face. It was really awkward trying to find a way to get out of there.

And she is a GW grad with a master's degree.

Well, if he reacted that way then no wonder she changed it. He must be a royal prick.

Facebook is serious business. Unlike Myspace where the opportunities to whore yourself out are limitless, Facebook is where your daily life and friendships take place. Forget the fact that the majority of the people on your friends list are people you haven't seen in nearly a decade, just think of it as a Rolodex with a lot of dust on it.

So I can't really blame the guy for doing what he did.

If she had used twitter:

"Single at last, someone hook me up!"

...

"Some luser knocking on the door..."

"OMGWTFBBQ999!!11!1!!"

Forrester drove to Croydon armed with the knife and meat cleaver and forced the front door open. After neighbours called 999 he emerged from the house covered in blood and holding a carton of juice.[i/]

I have both my former boss and my current boss among my facebook friends. It means that I actually have to think when I update my profile, and resort to other means of communication if I want to whine to the world in general. Which I don't do with regards to work, because my current job isn't sucking out all the joy from my soul.

Oh_Enough_Already: Or, alternately, when it was a well-written and T-shirt worthy headline yesterday:

Women who use social networking sites can sometimes meet some scary men. Men who may someday hack them to death with a meat cleaver. Men like their husbands, for instance.


Redlight. And the headline's too big. Short and to the point, like confusious' teachings.

My boss's husband banned her from communicating with me outside of business hours because he saw my myspace status that humorously stated "swinger." He implemented a rule that we couldn't go to lunch without a chaperon, and even made her call me to state the ground rules, with him listening on speakerphone... twice.

/insecure much?

Sound more like "Coming soon to a Fark headline near you!"

Overprotective and obsessive are two great feats for a lasting relationship. Chance of him snapping one day? I'd say "pretty damn good".

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I hacked my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that big, dull meat cleaver beneath my head

Those don't necessarily change the situation. The boss didn't see the status, nor the conversation about not liking the job. A mutual friend mentioned it to her. So unless you set your privacy settings so that no one can see your stuff, don't assume the info isn't getting out.

wow, what kind of "mutual friend" casually mentions to your boss that you hate your job? or is this one of those 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer' deals?

That's just hilarious. I'd say your boss's marriage is doomed.

Oh_Enough_Already: From the comments section on the Daily Male Page:

"I don't condone his actions by any means, but when things like this happen, people do crazy things. They don't think about what they're doing or the repercussions that follow, they just do it. She was wrong to change her status on Facebook only 4 days after the separation, especially knowing her husband would view it. She didn't deserve death for it, by any means, but perhaps she should have thought twice about the consequences of her actions."

Besides being true and a necessary caution the fact that it comes from a woman as well ups it's awesomeness tenfold.


I was just coming in this thread to say, whoever Kelly from Michigan is, she's a stupid cooooooooont. And insensitive, to boot. What an idiot.

Nogale: How does that only get him 14 years?


Minimum, though some odd line says "jailing him for life", so I think the actual punishment is still being decided.
 
2008-10-18 6:54:12 PM  

Nogale: How does that only get him 14 years?


Because it's the UK? Lacking the death penalty, and not operating with imaginary numbers like "360 years in prison", they need to keep their penalties appropriate, and save some for the people who really deserve a life in prison.

Half the people on my Facebook list are work colleagues, and I to wouldn't have any qualms about griping about my job.

I never post anything about dating or relationship status.

HMS_Blinkin: StoneyBologna: I lived with a couple that were dating. There was a promise ring exchanged, but no engagement. However the girl changed the facebook status to engaged at some point, and the guy had to accept.

I agree, a lot of people take this shiat seriously. The only thing I picked up from TFA was that the couple had "separated" 4 days before the killing, which, if I understand marriage, would make them estranged but still legally married. For the woman to advertise herself as "single" under that circumstance is pretty shiatty, in all fairness. Deserving of murder? Of course not. But she probably should have waited until AFTER the divorce papers went through to change her status to single.


I think "Kelly from Michigan" has just outed "herself". Nicely done! The woman can do whatever the FARK she wants -- it's HER facebook page. Who are you to judge? The marriage had been on the rocks for some time, according to TFA. If this last breakup was "the last straw", she has every right to change her status on HER facebook page, and excusing this man's insane overreaction is just pathetic.

He hacked her to death with a meat cleaver and only got 14 years? Shiat, over here he'd get the chair in some states. I am no English law scholar nor do I claim to be, but 14 years isn't long enough for a crime like this.

It's infinitely more weird now that everyone can comment on your status updates. Somebody will enter a relationship and then 20 of their friends leave comments like, "Congratz!" or "He's cute!" or "OMG we need to get together and talk ASAP!" And then everyone else can come along and see those weird comments, including the person they're in the relationship with.

*shudders*

I'm on Facebook because you have to be if you're a student and you don't want to be totally ostracized. If it shut down tomorrow though, I would be extremely happy.

I am guessing that the coding for these sites uses a simple 1/2/3 type coding for single/married/divorced/etc.

So in effect, this was a murder over a byte.

There's emotional intelligence and then there's intellectual intelligence.

Something like this just happened in Rochester, a woman's ex stabbed her with hedge clippers (new window)
 
2008-10-18 7:10:14 PM  
Oh_Enough_Already Long story short too many women never truly take in to account what the possible repercussions of their words deeds and actions are.

Not saying you are, but suggesting that her changing her facebook status to single is similar to needless yelling is idiotic. This is not a woman not thinking through, this is a massive over-reaction from a jealous prick...there is not a parallel to be drawn.
