You should click into the application and report it to Facebook. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505362 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:38:00 +0000 c505363@http://metachat.org That is wrong on so many levels. I'd definitely report it as Teeps suggested. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505363 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:40:20 +0000 c505365@http://metachat.org I'm trying to figure out how to report it right now. ]]> http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505365 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:45:18 +0000 c505366@http://metachat.org There, I reported it. Hope I'm not sounding like a member of the Moral Majority here, but that shit is just unacceptable.

We big kids gotta patrol the young'uns, who need to be schooled about internet hygiene and ethics. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505371 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:41:13 +0000 c505372@http://metachat.org That's so wrong. Good on you for reporting it, OS. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505372 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:57:06 +0000 c505374@http://metachat.org I didn't think about reporting it until I was chatting with my friend Steve and he suggested that I do so. My first response was to try to figure out whether, and how, to approach the issue with my niece and/or her mother. I don't know either of them well. If it were my other young niece, it would be a different matter, because I know my sister-in-law would make her take it down immediately and talk to her about it if she knew. Ergo, it would just be a matter of informing her, because obviously she didn't know. I am really disturbed by the fact that my niece posted this item with a "Hey, no fare!" comment, and that some young boy in her friends list commented, "Sucker!"

Terrible. Glad you reported it. "YEYY"??! yuck. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505379 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:25:49 +0000 c505383@http://metachat.org I am really disturbed by the fact that my niece posted this item with a "Hey, no fare!" comment, and that some young boy in her friends list commented, "Sucker!" While that does give one pause, remember that when you're that age, you're bulletproof and made out of kryptonite and rape is something that is not real and only happens on TV and the internet. Give her time, she'll likely look back on that and cringe a bit. When I was her age-ish, I chuckled at portrayals of drunk drivers on TV. Then I turned 16 and an alcoholic ex-cop murdered my friend with his car on homecoming night. Suddenly even Otis the drunk on Andy Griffith lost his charm, once it became real to me.

I mean, she followed up that quiz with one about "what Halloween character she was going to be" and was quite indignant when the quiz told her she was going to be a princess. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505384 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:50:01 +0000 c505386@http://metachat.org "your gunna get raped" and other creative spelling/elaborative variations is straight out of 4chan comment memery, to answer the what-kind-of-sick-fuck question. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505386 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:20:34 +0000 c505388@http://metachat.org fully agree with MCT. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505388 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:53:30 +0000 c505390@http://metachat.org What notquitemaryann said. This definitely reeks of /b/-style trollery. Seriously, it's a meme.

Just a guess, but I have a feeling FB is going to start vetting things a lot more thoroughly sometime soon. FB's an advertising engine, and advertisers, for the most part, don't want their messages next to this stuff. Obama quiz was bad.

If an app is deleted or removed, its postings don't go from your wall, they're not connected. Maybe facebook goes the extra mile on some and nukes all its traces though, like with spam and viruses and this. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505534 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:08:24 +0000 c505545@http://metachat.org This would be an occasion on which going the extra mile is warranted, I should think. http://metachat.org/index.php/2009/10/06/i_think_i_ve_seen_the_worst_facebook_qui#c505545
