Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Think it's some Facebook initiated thing. Basically just make your profile pic a photo of yourself when you were a bairn.More pish to ignore then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've not done this but don't find it particularly rage inducing tbh. It seemed to give a couple of people I know the rage when I commented on their pictures. I guess the truth hurts and the truth was he was hideously fat as a child and she did look a lot like the guitarist from Slade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 some utter cretin tonight that is posting a 'beware, someone is trying to poison dogs in the holyrood park area, police and sspca etc have been informed' followed by 2 photo's of flour route markings from a running club.

Worst thing is that it has been shared nearly 800 times already! I saw those as well. Had to work very hard to not point out what the "poison" actually was. Except the version I read was the meadows and one of their friends dogs had to have emergency treatment. Utter bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzroy Pointon Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Saw one tonight. Picture of a guy with a big mars bar on his face. Says police have asked people to share it on fb to warn the public that there is someone going about car parks who chaps on your window, flashes an ID at you then chibs you. Never seen anything on Reporting Scotland but I guess FB is streets ahead with its news. Its almost as bad as the story I heard years ago about the guy who slashed girls arses in nighclubs. Strangely that wasnt on the news either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I am very much a part of the social media generation and it would never enter my head to put something like that on Facebook. It's incredibly demeaning. Sorry, I wasn't meaning that everyone who uses social media is like that. It was more that amongst our society, there is a large amount digitally illiterate people out there. One aspect of this is publically bearing your soul to the world, despite there being mechanisms in place to let you do this, but to a select audience.

Beverley Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 i've been tagged in this about 6 times now... still not participated. while i'm partial to a photo overload and a few selfies from time to time, this particular "challenge" feels a little self indulgent really. at least previous things like make up free & ice bucket etc, people were donating money to a cause. (well most of us as i'm certain a lot of folk didn't)) Also, just noticed the: I'm beautiful the way I am Challenge now. Anyone got that? Two deleted birds with one stone to kill now, thankfully.

Sooperstar Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I've already mentioned it but the selling of pyramid schemes is getting out of hand now. Stop trying to con your friends into buying shit. Stop making posts that were clearly worded by whatever shitty company you are selling for. Stop pretending that selling this shit is life changing and you are now like totally super excited about the future. Oh so you're your own boss and have your own business - then why are you battering on about getting a promotion? WHO GAVE YOU THE PROMOTION? You don't have a sustainable business plan. Haven't you realised that if you are all selling the same thing then there is nobody left to buy it? Eventually people will stop buying this shit from you and the people that you have sucked into your little shit selling world will realise that it's all a load of bollocks and they'll think you're a right bitch.
