All this talk about privacy reminds me of the revolution. Back in the sixties and shortly thereafter, plenty of part-time JC stoonts were against whatever was, and they met in groups over coffee at the Student Union and said so. They also talked about how their phones were all tapped and FBI agents were peeking at them through subterranean curtains every minute of the day.

The Freedom of Information Act allowed them years after to seek out their various CIA dossiers, which were universally nonexistant, for what interest had the gumint in duds who only sat around talking? The revvies could not understand why come it was the Karl Marx of Chaney County had failed to arouse the slightest attention.

A greater fear than being watched is being ignored.

Holy crap, they've also made changing your multi-layered privacy settings a confusing marathon. I want that half-hour back I just spent double-checking everything, and I know there's still options I missed...

@Swifter: It's only part that I can't restrict others from finding my name and photo - although I'm not cool with that being available to anyone on the internet, it'd be relatively hard to find. It's that I can't prevent my friends from making their friends available to anyone who can see their profile, meaning anyone who can see my friends' profiles can see me, including people who frankly don't need to know where I live or what I look like now.

"laughing at Courtney Love's batshit claim that Britney Spears was molested as a young girl, and the British tabloid who's paying an unnamed female Spears family member to argue that she did. "

Did what? I'm so confused.

@bowleserised: Got molested? The sentence construction is confusing, but kind of British-sounding. Like, "I haven't ever snorted Pixy Stix from the floor of a drained jacuzzi, but I have it on good authority that Courtney Love has done."

In 2003, shortly after Versace's murder, some pals and I were in South Beach walking south when we happened upon a mansion with a spotlight on it and maybe 15-20 people standing around staring at it. I didn't know right away this was Versace's old house, but suddenly this horrid white guy with a tilted baseball cap starts to loudly explain to his friend "Yea yea this is where that fashion faggot got gunned down!" and he proceeded to re-enact the shooting as if he were Cool Moe D cast in some thug ghetto shoot'em-up -- he crouched behind a pillar and jumped out and pretended to point a gun, er, sorry, gat, sideways at Versace, and yelled "Blam, blam, die, faggot!"

Some notes:
1. Chad Wiggerton likely did not realize the shooter was Versace's ex-lover, and likely did not use the word "faggot"

2. The shooter probably did not hold his weapon sideways.

Nonetheless, his editorializing of the event was hilariously grand, and all of the onlookers made sure his role in the douchebaggery world was maintained.

@lobstr: Uh, that's not awful. Miami's full of characters. Always fun to see people go to South Beach who are otherwise total troglodytes, and how they experience it.

Also, where's that video of you and the Koala Pillow? I was trying to explain this to someone the other day and kept laughing too hard to find it.

@lobstr: The shooter wasn't Versace's ex-lover, he was some nut who maybe met him once at a charity event. I used to see Versace and his partner on the beach and walking the streets of South Beach, and he was always super gracious to people asking for pictures or autographs. He'd been in a long term relationship, and wouldn't have touched Andrew Cunanan with a ten foot pole.

@ParahSalin: ah, whoops, guilty as charged for being equally as uninformed as Glocky Douchebaggala.. I guess I was just recounting what I remember from the press.. (cuz, you know, wiki wasn't around in '03 to misinform us, heh) ..

but I still maintain Versace was probably not called a "faggot" and shot at with the sideways gangster-grip when he was being accosted.

@lobstr: No problem, it's just that I used to work in the fashion industry, and there were so many awful people who deserved to get shot in the head, and Versace wasn't one of them. Sadly, that's how it always seems to go (note the number of Bush death threats vs. Obama death threats). I'm pretty sure Cunanan didn't call Versace a "faggot" before he killed him since he was gay himself. I think he just wanted to go out in a blaze of glory after a killing spree, and decided Versace was an easy target because he was so accessible. I'll always remember walking behind him and his partner one day on Collins Avenue, and some young couple stopped him and the girl posed with Versace and his partner while her boyfriend snapped pictures and he gave them autographs. I remember when I heard he was murdered I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.

I can't find the video but you should see a great episode of SNL from like 2000 with a PHENOMENAL sketch starring Christopher Walken and I think Ana Gasteyer as lovers, guests of the wonderful LOVAHS Will Ferrell and Rachel Dratch. Jacuzzi. Native Drumming. I think its on Will Ferrell's best of collection.
