FACEBOOK SAVES THE DAY

An article on CNN shows that Facebook really is life. This 19 year old kid was arrested for robbery and held in jail for almost 2 weeks. then his dad realized the kid had updated his facebook status from his house a mintue before the robbery and voila!

"Bradford posted: "On the phone with this fat chick... where my IHOP." Of course people had no idea what this meant, and didn't even get the IHOP reference.
