Parents Invade Facebook to Monitor Their Offspring

Friended by Mom and Dad on Facebook. Oh Noez!

Could Facebook be in danger of losing its cool factor? In a startling turn of events, parents have begun swarming Facebook daily by the hundreds for the express purpose of monitoring their children's activities at the notorious site. Facebook has gained a reputation over the past few years as the place online where college kids come to make everlasting fools of themselves. This is typically achieved by posting pictures of oneself passed out in a pool of vomit or worse. 

It's "creepy" being watched by older family members:

"It's really weird that nonstudents and parents use Facebook," said Emma Gaines, a Tufts University sophomore. "It makes me feel really uncomfortable that my older aunt has Facebook, because she says that she likes to check up on her teenage nieces and nephews and takes our pictures for her own use. That's creepy."

Facebookers are already mounting a counter-attack against mom, dad, and Auntie Bethany having access to the site.

The Facebook group entitled "For the love of god -- don't let parents join Facebook" has 5,819 high school and college-aged members who want to stop the growing number of parents who are joining Facebook, the massively popular social networking site, from "spying" on them.

This invasion does not bode well for Facebook.
