Actually, short of Sesame hacking into her account and doing something that overt, these days the internet police wouldn't even give him a glance. A few months ago, there was a news report that totally floored me. Here's what it basically revealed...

POP QUIZ: what is the NUMBER ONE thing people do on the Internet?

1) Download music
2) Trade pictures
3) Watch videos (such as YouTube clips)
4) Create personal websites (like writing their own blog)
5) Look at porn
6) Chat online
7) Send and read e-mail
8) Post on message boards about life, celebrities, politics (whatever)
9) Shop online
10) Maintain a public profile page (like MySpace)

The answer: NONE of the above.

A recent 5 year international study on Internet usage revealed that the Number One thing that people do online...

...Is to snoop around and research friends, co-workers, even their own family.

How many people do that? Well, imagine sitting in a classroom or a movie theater that's filled with your own personal friends, co-workers, and family. Now turn your head and look at the 4 people who are sitting around you. There's someone on your left hand side... someone on your right... someone in front of you...and someone behind you.

Statistically speaking, the study showed that 2 out of the 4 have DEFINITELY tried to research you online. They've plugged your name or whatever details they know about you into Google (or whatever search engine they use) and then tried to see what they could dig up. Person #3 has a 50-75% chance of having spent time researching you TOO.

Amazingly, only 1 out of the 4 has NOT tried to research you online.

In fact, the study showed a direct correlation that seems pretty damn obvious: the more open a country is with its privacy laws or information acts, the more that people will go snooping. For example, the study noted that in Norway (I think it was them) the government actually posts everyone's yearly tax returns online. Believe it or not, the are all publicly available online. As a result, the Number One thing that people loved to do online wasn't to download music...it wasn't to trade pictures or chat or look at porn...it was to spend hours and hours reading through their neighbors or friends' tax returns. To see how much they personally made, how their business was really doing, what they bought that year, what they were declaring as a loss, etc.

Bottom line: these days the internet police are far more concerned about serious criminal activities -- such as identity theft phishing schemes (that drain people's bank accounts) or dopes spreading viruses or spyware (that likewise cause financial harm). But as for people going online to spy on other people they know, these days the internet police just roll their eyes since they figure that's what everyone is doing anyway.

it was to spend hours and hours reading through their neighbors or friends' tax returns. YuK! How boring people have become! They need to change.

They should try to find more hot pictures of bombshell Bionca from the internet. :drool: But alas, no such luck! All I could find was her avatar in a philosophical website! :no:

I wish I could get my hands on some scorching pix of Mizzy B...
noodie noodie, juicy juicee! :D
