Couple breaks up on airplane. Tweets on it go viral.

The deal is, we're living in 1984. You are being watched and monitored almost everywhere, by companies and the government as well as individuals.

This is as good a place as any to post this, which is the proverbial tip of the iceberg, because privacy is an illusion not only online but in the real world, too:

The Illusion of Online Privacy

 

Do you regret using your real name as a handle, Daman?

 

So, we're convinced this whole thing is real?

 

They already know my real name. And yours.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

 

Seems real-ish. I mean, spilling a $10 airplane Bloody Mary is pretty far to go for a bit.

 

Well, I hope this Kelly chick enjoys her fame...so when she has a bad moment it will be broadcast to the world somehow.
Karma baby!

 

Live-tweeting this kind of thing is gross.

Taking pictures of it to include with your tweets? Something is actually wrong with you. You are a bad person.

 

Nope.

 

Not surprising. We now have a whole generation of people who won't feel their lives are quite complete until they go viral.

 

If this is real, the guy has to be the dumbest person on the planet to think this was the best course of action.

As a side note, I'd totally "live tweet" my observations on couples having their first date a few tables away from my wife and I. Those are usually gold.

 

Dave Bidini (Canadian rocker/author) did this a few years ago. He was sitting in a cafe and the couple at the next table were breaking up. He had about 10 tweets that were really just overheard quotes. I had a mild issue that he did that, but because she included a pic I absolutely hate that this woman did this. To what end?
