Yeah - I just hate it when my friends break up with my via Facebook…

Yes, I think Facebook is mildly annoying. Yes, I have a Facebook profile. No, I never update it - though I do manage to look at it pretty much every day. 

The second reason I posted the article is it is just another example of the growing trend in articles that, when describing a relationship, describe a gay or lesbian relationship. I am pretty sure that percentage of coverage these types of relationships receive in articles, even ones about something completely different, is much higher then the percentage of relationships that are this type. Just one more manifestation of bias? Nah, didn’t think so either…
