Dating Tip: Don't Date Someone Who Posts Incriminating Pictures on a Social Networking Site

You've all seen them: people who post pictures of themselves smoking weed, workers who called in sick posting pictures of themselves on the beach that day, graffiti artists posting photos of their work, teens who videotape themselves beating another teen, offspring who post photos of the party they had when their partents were away, underage staff of a Christian camp posting photos of themselves drinking while camp is in session - you get the picture. Whether or not you date people who participate in these activities is up to you, but you should definitely not date those who post pictures of them.

In particular, don't date people who bathe in fast-food-restaurant sinks and post videos of it on YouTube and photos of it on MySpace.

25-year-old Timothy Tackett once worked at Burger King in Xenia, Ohio (also the setting of the movie Gummo), and decided to bathe in the restaurant's sink for his birthday . . . then post the video on YouTube. Timbo got fired, and he for some reason removed the video from his YouTube account. Two teenage KFC workers took an after-hours dip at their Redding, California, restaurant . . . and then posted photos of it on MySpace. Think before you date any these individuals, mostly because you'll end up on the Internet and likely mocked for it.
