Hard News: The price is that they get to…, in reply to James Butler,
Facebook also has the audacity to want to show it to your FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Not just friends and family, though, is it? It's potentially quite a few people or organisations throughout your extended network, as I understand it.
You might not, for example, want a potential or existing employer finding out you've been searching for furry-forums, for example.

Do those hoardings actually have much of an effect?
Seems to me that there's a lot of effort put into them - design, placing, compliance, etc.
What's the reward for all that effort? Is it actually worth it?

We are being interrogated by the CIA while someone fucked up on drugs fires automatic weapons in the background.
I had a dream like that last night. Next time I'll try the red cheese rather than the blue.
I'm not on FB, and every time I start thinking I should be (because it's become the default for a whole bunch of stuff - family, clubs, business, etc), they handily do something like this to put me off for another few months.

Being a vegequarian, I thought this shot over the back fence up here was a stark reminder for meat lovers.:)
BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNERA stark reminder indeed.
A warning of a world without bacon. It's enough to bring me out in a cold sweat.

OnPoint: Set it on fire, then, in reply to Kumara Republic,
I once read that laughter is a weapon that dictators and other unsavoury characters can't fight.
There is also a saying that goes something like: "the English have satire instead of revolutions".
Laughter can act as a convenient/inconvenient safety valve.

Someone once gave you one?

OnPoint: Transcription of new Rick Perry…, in reply to Kumara Republic,
It seems that left under the carpet, prole problems become elite problems - a modern hypothetical example would be a meningitis pandemic that starts in the poorest regions and eventually breaches the razor wired security blanket, and the gated elites do nothing because it's "not their problem".
Stupid proles should probably eat more cake to vaccinate themselves.
