AOL - A Florida couple went from Facebook to central booking after a squabble over the popular social networking site. Thomas Gannon, 35, told Brooksville authorities that the couple's troubles began when his 31-year-old girlfriend, Tina Cash, "unfriended" him on Facebook, the St. Petersburg Times reports. According to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, Gannon claims Cash not only nixed their online friendship -- she also changed her relationship status on her Facebook page.Gannon reportedly stated that when he asked Cash about the Internet break-up, she started throwing things at him, hitting him in the face with a framed flag that once belonged to his great-grandfather. Cash told officials that she wasn't the only person throwing things, stating that Gannon also hurled objects at her and punched her in the head, UPI reports. Both have been charged with misdemeanor domestic battery.
Simple case of a dude just not understanding a 21st century breakup. She gave you all the clear signs bro, changed her status and unfriended you, that's as clear cut of a breakup as you can get in today's Facebook age. That is today's equivalent to "breaking up in a public restaurant or place" move. You do it out on Facebook so everyone sees it, it's public, and if you go around throwing things at your significant others head they'll know why you're doing it and you'll be arrested. No need to go over there and nag her about the status changes, if you have to ask you already know.
Your next move to "win" the breakup is equally important though. Where guys used to just rally around their friend, take him to a strip club or two, things have changed a bit. It's no longer enough to just hope a story floats back to your ex about how well you're doing. You need visual proof. You need to arm your friends with a digital camera and start staging some pics. Toss that stripper an extra $20 so you can take a picture, get plastered and take a pic of yourself licking some drunk broads face at the bar, and the icing on the cake, photoshop a photo just right to make it look like you're jumping in the cab with some hot broad at the end of the night that you couldn't possibly hook-up with otherwise.
Boom, you've just won the Facebook breakup. And you didn't go to jail for throwing coffee mugs at your ex's grill. Win-win situation.
