On the other hand, there are some things, like girl's bikini beach pictures, that can be taken at face value. You know what else? Admissions of guilt. What a lot of dimwitted criminals who frequent Facebook fail to understand is that their updates are open for the world to see.

Most recently, a woman with a private account—who didn't even commit a crime!—was arrested for helping a friend who was trying to out an undercover cop by posting the officer's image on Facebook. Think that's dumb? Read on.
