Did you know that posting something to Facebook can land you in prison? Well, if what you’re posting is illegal, of course it can. For many, it’s easy to forget that Facebook, despite its home on the Internet, is a part of real life. While we all might wish it so, it’s not some alternate universe where people care about what you’re up to and nothing can get you in trouble. If you post a picture of a baby smoking marijuana, you’re going to hear from the police, even if they never sent you a friend request. Take a look at these awful posts that got the people who posted them in hot water.  <\/p>\n
