On Facebook, nobody knows you're not a whore
The only thing worse than having potential johns ringing your mobile at all hours? Not actually working in the sex industry, but having the same call-screening woes. 23-year-old Brit Kerry Harvey knows all too well, and she blames not the poor manners of the punters, but Facebook, for allowing a fakester profile using her photo, actual date of birth, and phone number, listing her occupation as Prostitute. Boys, are we 12?
No real working girl is going to use the world's hardest-working zombie generator as a place to advertise for new clients. Still, Harvey is humiliated, and has called for Facebook to tighten up — to respond faster to user complaints about fraudulent profiles, and if they can't? To shut down, displacing users who want to hurl those most reliable of playground insults, "whore" and (don't feel left out, guys) "fag" to the rest of the Internet. (Photo via Daily Mail)
