Boom Goes The Dynamite. No, Seriously.


In spite of the fact that MySpace and Facebook are part of a facist conspiracy to control the world that is only rivaled by Harpo Studios, they do have some use. I have a friend who is a prosecutor in Florida. Yes, interesting. Very interesting. He's actually used MySpace pages of gang members against them in court and won convictions thanks to them. Note to you aspiring gangbangers and Unabomber wannabes, don't write your plans or pose with your weapons on your pages. Advertising doesn't work for Bond villains and it certainly won't work for you.

Someone should have explained this to former Wake Forest RB Luke Caparelli before he decided to post his plans to blow up the Wake Forest campus on his Facebook page. He also claimed to have an Uzi "locked and loaded in his bag".

That same someone should probably tell Caparelli the "I wuz just playin'! LOL!" defense was probably not the move either. He acknowledged writing the posts but claimed he really wasn't going to do it. Claims of really meaning to blow up the outside world would probably fall on deaf ears as well.

As of post time, Caparelli has been dismissed from the team and charges could be pending. There's no word on any discipline from the school itself. I'm sure there are several people from Virginia Tech who would like to have a word with him in an alley.

Although he got full ride offers from 6 other universities afterward. Must have been blown out of proportion.
