    Loved every minute of this. My sister is just like this but even at 21 she is still thinking it is all about her.

    I love everything out that video. Down to the shooting of the laptop, that right there shows and proves he was not messing around.

    The kid should of known there are ways to see even private postings.

    She should have done one of the fallowing:

    A. Vented directly to her friends instead of putting it online

    B. Texted it to them

    C. Kept a diary

    D. Call friends

    Could be anti virus, could be microsoft office, could even be some kind of photo editing software for the camera she wanted. Unless you are pirating software, I find myself spending money of software maybe twice a year.

    Best part is how she got caught taken from the link a couple posts above:

    ___________________________________________________
    HOW SHE GOT CAUGHT: The Dog Did It.. no, really.

    I finally came out and told her this today, partly because it was too funny NOT to share.

    When my daughter made her post, she used Facebook's privacy settings to block "Family" and "Church" friend's lists. All her other friends could see it. We, of course could not.

    One of our dogs is always getting in photos and therefore has her own Facebook pa...ge. It's just a cute dumb thing we did for fun. Well, the dog's profile is rarely used except when funny pictures of her are posted. Since that's not too often, and she has very few friends on Facebook, her wall is kind of bare, with relatively few posts showing up on it.

    The other night we gave the dog a bath and there was a funny photo we uploaded to Facebook and tagged her in. I logged in as the dog the next morning to comment on the photo. However when I logged into the dog's profile, my daughter had forgotten to add her to the "family" list.... so our family dog's profile showed her post right there on the front page.

    It wasn't any parent-hacking, computer spying, or monitoring of any kind.. the dog actually ratted her out completely by accident. She hasn't petted that dog all day today...

    I'm going to refrain how I really feel about some of these posts and just say again, kudos to dad.

    Now the guy is going to piss and moan that the press is hounding him for interviews!!! DUDE, the moment you decided to create a video of yourself blowing apart your daughter's laptop for being a **** on Facebook...you invited the press in. Like it or not, thats what the press does these days. That what talk shows do these days. They look for people like you doing what you did. When you posted it to Youtube, you invited the WORLD in to criticize you! Being an IT Professional, he should know full well that thats what happens. Doesn't take a genius.

    Keep the stuff private behind closed doors! Just cause your daughter does it on Facebook, doesn't mean you should!
    No excuses!

    Maybe he wanted to (legally) upgrade it to Windows 7. And, we'll say, tossed in some extra memory.
    Ludicrous gibs!
