Everyone likes mocking that mate who posts ridiculous photos to Facebook, using the kinds of hashtags that are ripe for the picking.
The same goes for Instagram, and even if you’re setting your profile to private you know there’s someone on the inside who’s going to spread the love.
And then there’s WhatsApp, which is generally a place people feel a little safer sharing pictures you wouldn’t want to make public.
Spare a thought then for a certain Margaret, who made a real blooper in the privacy of a WhatsApp group. That group consisted of all the hockey parents at her child’s school, and that blooper was sending a picture of her vagina meant for her husband Chris.
We’re not going to show the picture, because I think you can imagine what a vagina looks like. Imagine the shock when a conservative Afrikaans town sees something like this blow up though, and worse yet when it then spreads far and wide to forums around the country.
Are we all so detached from other people these days, that we are happy spreading images like this to everyone in our contact list?
I’ve heard of mothers and fathers spreading these images around like it’s some big joke – sure, there are cheap laughs to be had, but I wonder how everyone would feel if the shoe was on the other foot?
Because you came here for a laugh, and because there’s a good chance you’ve already seen the picture, let’s just look at some of the memes. I mean the ones that don’t show her face, of course, because there are many of those going around too:
You want more? Google it yourself, you won’t have to look hard, but just remember somewhere out there is a woman who must feel helluva violated right now.
Funny memes though, hey?
