It's Official: If You Cheat, You WILL Get Caught!


A few years ago, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick got caught up in a broo-hah-hah when a collection of incriminating text messages between he and his mistress were made public.  This became the realization of a nightmare for two-timers the world over.  But apparently some people didn't get the memo, because we've recently seen both Shaquille O'neal and Tiger Woods fall victim to the whole exposed text message/email/voicemail thing.  I find myself questioning how newspapers and tabloid mags get their hands on private data like that in the first place.  My guess is the un-famous part of these lewd equations make deals for some loot.  In any event, it's time for people to realize something.  The combination of social media and technology makes everyone's life that much easier to track.  Everyone has Blackberry's, iPhones, etc.  These phones rely on data plans, and data plans rely on servers.  Meaning the things you do on these phones CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU!  And as we've seen, more often than not that is precisely what happens.  So rather than vilify Tiger for his poor choices, let us LEARN from them.  This isn't 1995.  We're no longer restricted to beepers and 911 pages.  Descriptive text messages and emails will get your ass hemmed up.  Please act accordingly!
