Friends Ask Dub: "Why Are People Still Getting Facebook Viruses?"

Great question friend. I've been wondering this myself for awhile and I think I have finally come up with a definitive answer. People just aren't that good at the internet.

It's embarrassing that we're in 2011 and people can't identify a virus from a regular link. Today alone, I opened up my Facebook to see a picture of two guys having sex with the caption "WOW" and another picture of a lone vagina with the caption "You won't believe this!"

Jesus Christ.

I'm just trying to creep on some girls' pics, send a couple pokes, drop hilarious statuses, and get out of there. I only get X-Rated on my own terms. That said, how the fuck does this happen? I may have fallen for one virus back in the AIM era of '98. One of my good friends sent the "You look crazy in this pic (insert random sketchy looking link)" message at me and I stupidly clicked it. It was back in the day when the only pictures being taken of me ran through my Mom and a Polaroid camera, so the idea that a pic of me looking zany was floating around brought about some real concerns. From then on, you just read the situation and react like an internet linebacker. Dude you haven't spoken to in years sending you a message telling you to check out a pic of your ass looking "not bad?" Don't click that. Chick posts something on your wall that shows a picture of just a vagina and says, "You won't believe it?" Probably don't need to dive into that one, especially with the EXTENSIVE amount of free porn on the internet. And I don't care what your sexual affiliation is, no one's trying to see hardcore gay porn when you're innocently, but not innocently creeping on some pics.

The ONLY excuse one could possibly have for clicking a virus was that "Nicki Minaj SEX TAPE" link. Obviously I knew it was a virus and wouldn't click it, but if I was in the market for a new computer and didn't care what happened, let's just say, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. If you're not intrigued by what could be in that sex tape you don't have a pulse.
