Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 20, 2021

Do the say on Facebook if they are sleeping with your wife?

Saw that one coming.

Rat was going to exploit Facebook’s and Twitter’s security flaws to rat out his client’s subjects.

Might as well shift to the dark web. You can probably hire(/get scammed) some stalkers over there.

Last time I visited FB was last year, maybe on Sept.

Come on Rockford Rat! You know that’s supposed to be $200 an hour …….. plus expenses!

Pig presents an issue that may stop Rat from monetizing his site. On the other hand, Rat may be willing to go beyond the readily available information.

hard to beat social media, isn’t it?

There was once an SCTV sketch in which John Candy played a private detective in a small town where everyone already knew everything about everyone else. Today it seems like a premonition.

Be careful, Pastis…Zuck the cuck will sue ya. ;-)

The Onion had a good take on this a few years ago https://www.theonion.com/cias-facebook-program-dramatically-cut-agencys-costs-1819594988

They have Jawed for thiss, mah pips…

You is too late, Rat. Zuckerbot beats you to it.

“Social media” is a social disease. “Every move you make / Every step you take / Zuck is watching you…”

It is amazing how much privacy suffers at the inclusion of social media

“Oh Rats.”

Foiled again, Rat!

Sherlock Holmes: “I called you all here because I, the World’s Greatest Detective, have solved the case…the murderer is—”

Scotland Yard: “—the neighbor. We know. He posted a video of it on Facebook live.”

Holmes: “But…the clues? …My brilliant deductions?”

Scotland Yard: “’Have a nice day, Mr. Holmes…”

Pig speaking words of wisdom …. Mark the calendar ! ….. Wait it is marked ! ….. Happy Father’s Day to all Dads ;-)

For two hundred and fifty an hour, Goat will show you how to clean up your Facebook profile, so that not everyone can see it.

As a kid, I loved ‘The Rockford Files.’ Jim had a small mechanical printer in the trunk of his car. He’d use it to make phony business cards to help him scam info out of people.

A decade ago, on the TV series “Person of Interest” the tech billionnaire (who never revealed his true identity in the series) said he’d invented social media in the wake of 9/11 to help out the CIA and NSA. He realized most people will happily spy on themselves and self report their activities if given the opportunity.

Facebook is not free. It’s just a different business model where you pay with privacy/information.

How about Alexa snooping on everything you say!

Whose gonna go to a business run by a rat?

Rat’s going to have to run ads to complete.

If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.

We give it away now. We are all hos.

FB is the spy….it may be lethal to ones life….

Geezus, where ya been, rat???? Nobody hasta spy these days: idjits all over the world will TELL you whatever you don’t want to know on “social media.”

Facebook? I went in there once, looked around, and said, “not for me!” and left.

going to have to post that on Facebook

That’s why I’m not on Facebook.

I don’t know if Rat is another Sam Spade or Richard Diamond, but I hope with all my heart that no one will club him!

The burden is whom is Facebook.

Another job made obsolete by technology.

Time to make a new sign.

It was a dreary day. I was counting passing cars through the rain streaked window when I heard my door creak open. A customer? He was a roly poly fellow…pink…sticks for legs. I sighed…that type always means trouble.

There was a day when one could ask the internet for John Smith’s phone number of North Cornwall, Indiana and GET the dam thing for free. Now, the same question gets 16 different websites willing to sell you everything about the poor bastid and his mortal sins, how much he owes in taxes and worse, all for a MasterCharge of $79.95 that takes 3 months to dislodge..What’s missing?The current phone number, of course….Sheeesh !

Don’t forget, what they buy.

I’m flashing back to when Rat tries to sell “scorn.”

My Bride and I were talking about getting a Screen Door to take advantage of our Delta Breeze. Well 15 min. later I have Screen Door Ads all over Facebook. I wonder how that happened ? NOT

Pig is wise! Let Pig live up on the hill and retire the Wise Ass!

Hard-boiled private eye Rat won’t be drawing (so to speak) any clients in the age of that social networking [and spy-] site!

Don’t you worry, Rat. Lots of people will consult you claiming they are ‘being watched’.
