This morning I went for a light 5-mile jog in Los Angeles’ mild 85-degree heat.  Always a good time.  During the run, I took a little break in the middle and walked a short portion.  I found myself behind three older women who were chatting it up about Facebook.  To hear their perception of Facebook was rather interesting and disturbing at the same time.

 I was first quite alarmed when one woman said, “Anyone who joins Facebook is obviously a pervert.”  Facebook is a lot of things…but sexual content is the least of it.

 The next woman completely agreed with her adding, “I heard my grandchildren had joined and I was so appalled that I didn’t talk to my daughter for a week.”  This is where it starts to get a bit disturbing…is this really the perception of the website to people who are on the outside looking in?  And if so…where are they getting this sentiment?

 The third woman added the cherry on top by saying, “I heard that the government uses it to spy on Americans.  Did you hear about those kids in Malibu who were arrested for being terrorists because of their Facebook page?”

 This is getting out of hand.  There are no kids in Malibu who were ever arrested for suspected terrorism because of their Facebook page.  There were some kids in New Jersey who were arrested…but come on…that’s New Jersey.  The problem is that there are too many rumors floating around by people who don’t really know what they are talking about.  Ignorance may be bliss…but it’s still ignorance.

 There over 400 million Facebook users.  That’s a lot of pervert terrorists.
