Letting Everyone Inside of You

Facebook was already the "All about you" website.

I'm engaged!
It's my birthday!
I just booked my hotel in Branson!!!
My tummy hurts!
Be friends with my dog!
Look at my new credenza!!!!!

It was already about you showing everyone else the SUPER-AWESOME things you do (pictures of beer cans), complaining about the things in life that just aren't fair (the weather), and describing how unique you are (I like having fun and hanging with my friends).

And all that was great. Then there was the game-changer (actually when dogs requested my friendship that was the game-changer, but I digress).

One word: FETUS.

Not only is your page all about you, now it's about (depending on your views) people/things growing inside of you. Shouldn't there be some expectation of privacy for the unborn child? Even before first breath, he/she has already made a public appearance for your 1,492 friends and 8 dogbook friends.

I've seen three different profile pictures of fetuses in the last week and half (and I don't even have that many friends).

Honestly, stop playing favorites. If you're going to put up the pictures of the fetus, at least post the video of how you guys made the damn thing.
