on the drive with kenny jones – we discussed an incident that took place at the station. some call it rude, others claim its a violation of personal privacy – i feel an open-unattended facebook account is begging to be messed with.
it’s been dubbed the great facebook status hijacking of 09. the names of the players have NOT been changed to protect the innocent.
it breaks down like this, see…
- guru of all things music – dj rami abbassi accidentally forgot to log out of his facebook account before leaving work.
- upon rob stevens (host of the beat breakfast) arrival at 7:04 a.m. he spotted the unattended facebook account.
- rob took it upon himself to enter a new status for dj rami. below is said status:
when rami arrived to find his newly updated facebook status, not to mention the dozens of comments threatening to disown him, retract friendships, throw up their breakfast or daring him to proceed – he was not a happy camper.
however, it does beg the question:
what should you do if you happen upon a facebook account that has been accidentally left open & unattended?
here’s what the drive contingent had to say on the matter…

we’re of the opinion that it’s your moral obligation to post a new status for the irresponsible party. otherwise…they don’t learn nothin’!
