Fuck Facebook

Facebook is at it again. You are the target and unless you are careful you will be added by Facebook to whatever pages Facebook feels like; and if you don't opt in to the 'Connected Profiles' your profile will become blank.

The privacy of Facebook has always been an issue since it started in September 2006 due to the Privacy Policy of Facebook:

"We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services, Facebook Platform developers and other users of Facebook, to supplement your profile."

"We may share your information with third parties, including responsible companies with which we have a relationship."

Basically put Facebook can collect information about you from all over the Internet and add it to your profile. Then Facebook can share (read as sell) your information with third parties (read as advertisers). So your email may get a bit more spam - and depending on user name, location, etc. it may not even be anything you have an interest in.

But both these privacy matters pale into insignificance compared to the latest Facebook controversy.

First, there is the "Like" button which any web designer, blogger, crazy person can put on their website so people can click it to say they liked a certain website; or article from that website. The "Like" button will allow Facebook to keep a record of what a user linked to, providing the company with ever more data about people’s preferences. Facebook, in turn, plans to share that data with Web publishers, so that a magazine Web site, for instance, may be able to show users all the articles that their friends like. So, in theory, if you are a beLIEver and you go and click the "Like" button on a site which has nothing to do with Michael Jackson hoaxing his death, and it is something you don't want your hoaxie friends to know about, too bad Facebook will know, and share that information.

Secondly there is the "Connected Profiles" which Facebook are forcing on to users. With this option, the text in your Facebook profile section where you list your hometown, education, work and interests, is now being linked to the respective pages on Facebook. So for example, if you live in New York, that's linked directly to a page for New York. If your favorite TV show is "Lost," you'll be linked to that show's page, and so on. Those who choose not to link, though, are informed via a Facebook pop-up box that their Profile page will be left empty.

So if you don't want Facebook to decide what pages you are linked to then your profile will blanked. I don't wish to sound like a conspiracy nut but to me that just seems like some web dictatorship. It would be the same as Facebook saying "If you don't allow us to link to whatever we feel you should be linked to you will no longer exist."

And in my opinion that is just fucked up. I'll decide what groups and pages I am linked to thanks. I don't need Facebook deciding for me. And if I don't want Facebook deciding I shouldn't have a blank profile. Fuck that shit it is pure dictatorship.

So make sure when you are on Facebook you choose your options carefully and READ it before you just click the "OK" button. Before you know it just because you have MJ in your name you will be linked to Justice4MJ's page and maybe even some anti-MJ pages. And all this information will be collected and shared (or sold) to third parties without you knowing. Before long your email is getting more and more spam, and although you are a beLIEver your Facebook profile is linked to the "MJ is DEAD" page somewhere on Facebook.


Peace.

Legal Notice: All of the privacy concerns about Facebook are well-documented all over the Internet. There is no real conspiracy in all this but choices need to be made carefully so that YOUR information remains YOURS.

Karen Faye - Bitch Or Believer?

The great Karen Faye - where to start. This woman has single handily made herself a target of hate for her comments, tweets, and Facebook postings. But is she really as bad as she seems on the surface?

I'll be honest here, I've never really followed Karen Faye or her gibberish on Twitter or Facebook, and the only thing I was aware of was that she took some photos of the mausoleum. If that makes her a target of hate then we should all be bitching at Ben and Chris who originally took responsibility of taking the infamous ambulance shot. Seriously, Karen takes a few snaps of a mausoleum where Michael is allegedly buried and is now close to the #1 spot on most hoaxies (thanks Souza and Mo for that word) hit list. Shouldn't Ben Evenstand and Chris Weiss be taken out and publicly executed by the hoaxies for shooting their photo?

So I fired up Google on Karen Faye and in the first few results it mentions her and Lisa Marie Presley contacted Michael's spirit. Just how dumb is this woman? A medium tells you it is Michael's spirit so you have to believe her. Karen if you are reading, I am a medium and I am talking to Ghandi's spirit and he says you must change your ways and your hairstyle.

Come on a medium - for real? In one report about this fucked up seance it states: "The 53 year old insists the psychic had "no idea" of her relationship with Jackson, adding, "There were definite, deep insights that would have been difficult (for a psychic) to make up."

Relationship with Jackson??? No idea??? How about no relationship. You have to be fucking kidding me that a 53 year old woman actually fell for this sack of horse shit. Let me use my psychic powers - you walked in with Lisa Marie Presley who wants to contact Michael's spirit. If you had no connection to Michael you would of been sat outside the seance eating McDonald's waiting.

And what fucking relationship did this fucking great psychic pick up on? Karen Faye and Michael Jackson ever date? Fucking woman is crazier than fucking Charlie Manson. She's living in some fucking dream world.

Let us get this straight. Michael dated Tatum O'Neal, Maureen McCormick, Stephanie Mills, Brooke Shields, Lisa Marie Presley, and Debbie Rowe.


With the exception of Debbie "The Baby Carrier" Rowe these are all beautiful women. You couldn't get Michael to drink enough Jesus Juice to sleep with Karen Faye. So she can take her fat ass to the back of the line with all the other women that think Michael will take a second glance at them if he ever does make a comeback.


I think a large proportion of Karen Fayes problem is she is living with the knowledge that as his make-up artist she saw Michael with all these women and he never once took a second glance at her. She is living in hatred for Michael for not choosing her as a girlfriend; for never acknowledging her as more than a friend.

But there are two questions that remain. No matter what you think of Karen Faye as a person does she know anything? Allegedly she did the make-up on Michael in his casket. She worked with him for 15 years, she would of had to known that it wasn't Michael in the casket. And the second question has to be why is she doing this? Why is Karen Faye putting herself on the front line to take all this hatred?

I have a few theories, none of which at the moment make any sense, but the possibility is that Karen actually knows about the hoax. All of the people that worked with Michael for years get re-hired and are around him again, and then he fakes his death. I know Karen wasn't re-hired but if she did the make-up for the funeral she would have to have been trusted by Michael or the family.

Karen: Hi Mrs Jackson.
Katherine: Hi Karen, you here to do the make-up?
Karen: Yes.
Katherine: OK then, pleas do a good job.
Karen: I will.

[Karen sees the body in the casket]

Karen: Excuse me but this isn't Michael.
Katherine: Of course it is.
Karen: I worked with him for 15 years I know what he looks like.
Katherine: Alright smart-ass, keep it down, let me explain something to you.
Karen: This is not Michael.
Katherine: Well aren't you the bright one. It's a hoax.
Karen: What?
Katherine: Just do your job, keep your mouth shut, and I'll make sure you do alright from this. I have contacts that can get you a lot of work.
Karen: If it is for Michael I will do it. About that work? Anytime soon? I'm almost broke. By the way did you know Outkast did a song about you?
Katherine: They are on my list to take to court. Don't worry about me deary.

So we can all band together and start creating "Death To Karen Faye" banners - but are we jumping on her back too soon?

Peace.
