Facebook is sweating, or it seems.. Apparently the intrusion of Moms and Grandmoms on the social media platform, spreading photos of their dogs and meals, has caused a revolt: Teens are abandoned Facebook to Tweet. Hence, Zuckerberg is becoming more like Twitter..
I don’t know if it will work—it may be too late to stop the bleeding.
Once a platform becomes uncool, kids leave it. That’s why JC Pennys and Sears are doing so awful…
It’s much easier to do it these days than it was during the times when you had to nervously look a cashier at a local gas station in the eye..you tried to hide it.. you attempted to conceal the evidence.
But no matter that, PLAYBOY’s logo would always peak out over the paper bag..
But this new information shows that porn addicts are most 12-17 year olds..
So… as usual, my local news just opened up, yet again, with another cautionary tale of mindless zombie teenagers getting high, and dying, on bath salts. Yes, indeed, this new phase of drug addiction is interesting—but particularly bothersome at the same time. It shows that, without question, the kids aren’t alright. No one just wants to be happy being alive these days, I guess. Instead of seeing earth as it is, people would rather seduce their brains with mind altering drugs. And even though the idea of drug and alcohol use among the puberty-wrought teen crowd as been around for ages, the latest bout of the human body with bath salts shows the unintellectual ability that kids have to come up with strange ways to destroy brain cells without inhibition.
And at the same time, I’d somewhat tired of hearing of bath salts.
The top story every night? … Along with the latest fire to burn a barn, or the latest accident to destroy a family. Weather 15 after, sports at 20. Followed up, at the end, with the fun little story of a goat with three legs or a potato sack race for cancer patients.
Local news is so predictable—and often boring.
I will argue that bath salt deaths are the best thing to happen to local news since rumors of knives in apples on Halloween. Unfortunately, unlike the Halloween scare, bath salts are real along with killing kids.
But state Legislatures will soon ban them. And …. that will … solve the problem………….. [inject sarcastic face.]
