Slashdot Mirror
Woman Gets Revenge Courtesy of Google Images
another similar writes "This article teaches us that if you happen to have a bad break up with someone who's reasonably tech-savvy, your descriptively captioned photos might end up all over the internet. From the article: 'Upset boyfriends and girlfriends are nothing new. There are plenty of stories of girlfriends getting back at their ex-boyfriends for mistreatment and visa versa. But in the age where Google ranks supreme, you do not want to mess with a girl who knows how to manipulate Google.'"
Poor Jack Weppler, oops just upped the rank.
If you discover you're dating a vengeful psycho bitch, don't ever break up with her.

She could easily have done much worse than captions. Think 4chan.
If the genders had been reversed, he would have been judged guilty of criminal sexual assault and categorized as a violent sexual offender. Gotta love those double standards.
HIRE THIS GIRL! I wonder if she is the one who submitted this to /. ?
"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms,
While her Google-fu may be good, I'd say that Mr. Weppler's ex could use some work in the wit and viciousness departments.
Without exception, the captions were humorless and(at least without some knowledge of Weppler's background and/or personal life/activities) not at all cutting. A few generic insults, some just nonsensical.
She also seems to have chosen a photo(looks almost like a studio shot rather than a candid) that, while it probably doesn't show him as a genius master of fashion(I'm no judge of this stuff, I can't tell), appears to be reasonably flattering. Neutral background, no embarrassing props/situations/penises sharpied onto his face. Hair and clothes, whether or not well chosen, are in good order, and the lighting is suppressing any facial acne/irregularities.
Plus, of course, you have to be Really Good to pull off insults without sounding pathetic and petty when you are exiting a relationship(even harder when you are the dumped party). Presumably, every one of your oh-so-trenchant insults is either fictitious, or pertains to a quality possessed by somebody you were happy to date until just recently. That takes comedic talent to dodge, and she appears to lack it.
If you must date make sure not to date psychopaths.
Better to just stay in the basement.
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
Journalism is dead.
If you are minor and cannot stand for yourself, even to the extent of having your mom stand up for you, you shouldn't have started dating in the first place.
Having a girlfriend is a fukken responsibility. The girl might actually be a little bitch, but her ex-boyfriend is a pussy beyond the hope of repair and totally deserves his fame.
But when you're supernatural, you can get away with a lot of shit.

In these days of a corporatized internet, it's endearing to know that one person with a bone to pick can still influence vast swaths of the public consumption of the internet.
Now if only she had managed to get the images on Google Images and had the links going to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edaJP3Lp0Gg
My minor son's ex-girlfriend took a copyrighted picture of him (we own copyright) and uploaded it more than 60 times to a website
This might be the first good time I can think of to use the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The mother should've sent a DMCA takedown notice to every company hosting the image including Google. Instead of going through barely monitored channels, it would have gone through the highest priority channels because if they don't respond to a DMCA takedown notice in a timely manner, they're liable for damages.
Based on the things the sick girl wrote on the images, it would seem the parents have a good case for libel against her. Many of her joking accusation are provably false and disparaging.

Careful with your clients..
Doesn't matter if you do a good job or not. If the guy who hired you isn't happy that you refused to do extra work outside of your contract - or for any reason really, maybe he didn't like your tone in a phone call at 3AM - he'll google your name and blast out accusations on mailing lists you frequent, comment on you in social media and submit you to ripoff report.
Yes, I have experience with this, and while I did win my court case it remains a net loss for me. I still find myself explaining the whole mess to potential employers as a precursor to getting work, despite the incident having happened 6 years ago.
The only way to win is to make sure that happy clients post as much or more. Fight fire with napalm.
I can't imagine potential dates querying me on what happened years ago in a past relationship. Time to adopt pseudonyms on Facebook. Oh wait, then I'm creepy and paranoid. FML
Sorry, but judging from the photos and the clueless text on them I guess the storry is completely made up.

I can't figure out why this is news in any way. First off, TFA suggests that they are minors. So just to set the stage, we're essentially talking about a teenage breakup here. Not a great start. Next, we have a girl who decided it would be fun to post images of her boyfriend all over the Internet. Wow, that's a new one! I've never heard of anything like this before! And to top it all off, the double standard here is absurd. As another poster already mentioned, if the shoe was on the other foot, no one would think it's funny or cute in any way. So Slashdot has devolved into a gossip tabloid now? Wonderful.
Now I see why the "News for nerds. Stuff that matters." tag was removed from the top of the site.
Actually the copyright is with the professional photographer who captured the image - unless the photographer has signed over the copyrights.
What in the world does this have to do with Jack Weppler?
Could be something his ex thought about him? ;)
More on topic, I am glad they gave the error 200 info in TFA. I was about to mention that a friend had a girl problem. One thing about the ordeal was how responsive the Google URL removal tool was. Just about the only thing he had nice to say about anything related to the issue.

he'd embrace it, and put up some pages of his own - pointing out specifically why someone shouldn't get involved with {nameof} bitch. He might also point out that psychos are great sex, while it lasts.
She just uploaded his picture to MemeGenerator.
This should be in Idle at best.

The story doesn't make sense.. The images are still on www.memegenerator.net and have not been removed at all..
I suspect this is just a hoax, viral marketing or social experiment of some sort.

Yes, because posting pictures of your fully-clothed ex with captions on them is sexual assault. And 3 other people thought this was insightful? Um... what?

So going to http://memegenerator.net/ and creating dozens of captioned pictures is considered tech savvy these days?
She didn't manipulate google or anything for that matter. The moment you create an image there, it's placed in a spot that Google can immediately recognize. She named the "character" and then created a dozen different phrases for him. She even abused the service because you have to certify that you have the legal authority to use/distribute the image you upload, and if the picture is what the mother and son claim it is, she had no right.
An 8 year old child could have done this.
Sounds like his ex-girlfriend thought he was...

YEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!
My ex-wife made the mistake of being a bitch and posting false statements about me. They bordered on libel, but not enough to be worth suing over. Instead, I posted a few things about her that were not at all good for her image but were 100% true. Shortly thereafter googling her name resulted in that post being in the #`1 spot. She threw a hissy fit and threatened to sue me for libel, defamation, etc. I told her to point out any false statements and I would be happy to remove them. I also told her to feel free to sue. She didn't bother to take it any further.
If she hadn't started the hate-fest I would not have made public postings about her.

Seconding....37th-ing the notion that if a man did this to a woman, the article would have a completely different tone ("Creepy Stalker Ex Abuses Internets, Police Taking Note"). That aside...
FTFA: "You see, she knew to have the source site remove the images but Google still has them in their index. The issue is that although the images appear to be gone, the URLs they are sourced via are actually returning a 200 status code, which to Google means they are still there. They need to return a page not found status code, and they do not."
In 2011, does GIS or any other search facility still take non-error status codes at their word? Has any commercial site since 2001 or so actually ever returned a 404 response to a non-existent page, rather than an arbitrary ad-happy landing page or redirect to the homepage?
Caveat Emptor is not a business model.
Well, maybe the "streisand effect" tag would be right for this story? :)
It is his own fault. This is why I date morons only. Smart people are dangerous.
"But in the age where Google ranks supreme, you do not want to mess with a girl who knows how to manipulate Google.'"
Guys, to be safe, you should only date blondes.
She is sheer awesome.
I'm not too bothered about the technicalities and whether this counts as "tech savvy", but this girl is smart, sassy and interesting.
She shouldn't have a problem finding a replacement.
However... that man who had to get him MOM to do all the fighting to get his images taken down, well... I think his man card needs to be revoked...
This would never ever happen to anyone that frequents slashdot.
The article itself reads like it was written by a high school freshman. "Visa" versa, "Professional taken picture", "There has to be dozens"?
See 4chan for examples of that. This isn't even a good story.
"This post is an artistic work of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
Look, just do what everyone in civilized countries have done since the decline of dueling. Sue the bitch for slander. It's amazing how money helps a person recover emotionally from slander.
Hoist Number One and Number Six.
Exactly!
Everyone thinks it is funny when it is a girl but if it was a guy he'd be under arrest by now.
Look, here's the truth, from a distance maybe she looks and seems awesome. It's like how it is funny to see somebody get hit in the crotch by a football or exciting to see somebody flip their car at a race track.
When you're in the crap though, you're nowhere near as happy.
Stay out of it. You'll be a lot happier.
And you want to know something? If that guy had defended himself, he'd be looking bad, because men aren't allowed to have grievances with women. They're supposed to just suck it up. True story, a man stands up to an abusive women, then HE gets in trouble.
From the article: 'Upset boyfriends and girlfriends are nothing new. There are plenty of stories of girlfriends getting back at their ex-boyfriends for mistreatment and visa versa. But in the age where Google ranks supreme, you do not want to mess with a girl who knows how to manipulate Google.'"
Visa Versa? That's priceless!
the story in the post is stupid, boring, and as others have pointed out, does not involve "Google-Fu". if a girl does it to a guy, it's boring. if a guy does it to a girl, it's boring.
but I honestly don't understand this "Men are the victims of PC-ness" meme. It's not true. It was never true. It refuses to die.
It breaks my pluginses, my precious!
You really want revenge, post his picture and phone number to craigslist in the MFM section, asking asking those interested "call any time!"
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
We'd just call her a psycho bitch and no one would be even a little impressed. She'd also never get a date again since no intelligent person wants to be on the wrong end of her. The same would happen to a guy if he did it.
Today, women get praised because she did it on the Internet ... and a guy would end up being taken to jail, labeled a sex offender and have his life ruined.
Seriously people, what the fuck is wrong with you? This behavior is unacceptable. Do not give her attention. The entire event and everything she does should be ignored, herself included. We seriously need to stop giving people who behave unacceptably any attention.

It had some hilarity about a similar subject where the sexy Aussy doc had his nude pic on facebook adjusted in an unflattering way - then had to try and figure out which girl, of many, he used and tossed did the deed.
1 - I agree strongly with everybody saying this woman had better suffer the same backlash a male would over such behavior.
2 - Unless the gender inequality is the motivation of this "news" item, I'm pretty sure we are the wrong target market for this story.
Every trollism an AC posts is prefixed, in my mind, with "A. Coward whined, in a weak and cowardly voice:"
Any evidence to the contrary? Anyone remember that whole story about the "lawyers assistant" who quit through a series of photos? Turned out to be fake.
I barely buy anything on the internet unless it comes with time stamps, sworn and filed affidavits and the pixels don't look shopped.
No girls name, no links to actual moms post. No proof other than a stock photo that Jack Weppler even exists.
How did the parent title fuck it up? It is literally written as "v". How you pronounce it is not specified by the parent. I suggest that you only assumed the wrong pronunciation because you're a tremendous prick that thinks everyone else is an idiot. Given that it can only be left to assume that your literal comprehension is flawed to the point where you project additional meaning where none exists.
what does this mean?
"...you do not want to mess with a girl who knows how to manipulate Google.'"

The secret is to out-crazy the crazy girl.
While at a friend house his brother and his friend busted in shortly after midnight - totally naked. When asked what happen they claim they where jumped by a small group of drunk girls out on the town for a bachelorette party and 'forced' into sex acts with the women. It turned out to be true as I 'knew' of one of these ladies and saw her the next day where she was bragging about the rape of the young men the night before.
What happen to the ladies.... nothing. What would happen if a group of drunk guys jumped two younger women and did this? Think about about and go beyond the thought of how lucky those guys where.
I'll agree with this poster. It's very nice to read semi-intelligent posts from people with diverse backgrounds (albeit mostly nerdy) that frequent slashdot. Several times, I've fallen for a story only to read the postings and realize that it's mostly bunk. Without other well thought out opinions, people tend to believe what they are told, much like people watching fox news or npr are further brainwashed by what they hear day after day.
How did the parent title fuck it up?
Because the "traditional" pronunciation would be how the Romans said it, not the Anglicized version. Don't get so excited, it's just a history lesson.
It's just that there's a social stigmata attached to

I was watching divorce court proceedings run by a Judge that was retiring the next year. The Judge held up a piece of paper with his left hand looked at the ex wife and said let me get this clear you have a restraining order against you ex husband is that correct?
'Yes your honer'.
The Judge picked up a piece of paper with his right hand looked at the man and said; 'This is a restraining order you have against your wife is that correct?'
'Yes your honer'.
The Judge laid them both down on the desk before him and said 'This is a request to have both restraining orders voided and it signed by both of you?
they both replied 'Yes we love each other and want to get back together again'.
The judge looked around and raising his eyebrows stated; 'Well far be it for me to stand in the way of marital bliss and with a flourish stamped the request and said 'Next case!

That wasn't God's plan - in fact it caused all sorts of problems.
and had a kid steal his brothers birthright via fraud
Erm, what? If it wasn't a fair trade, Esau oughtn't have accepted it. Reminds me of the TV show I watched where some hobo had made off with a bunch of charts that were thrown out, and it turned out the charts were needed for an important business meeting - so the hobo wants a million dollars for them. And then the guy in the program apparently thinks he's clever when he agrees to pay the hobo the one million dollars... one dollar every day for the next million days! Esau figured he'd get what he wanted "now" with minimal cost, and failed to recognise the long-term repercussions of his trade, and he paid for it - the rest of his life, one day at a time.
Not to mention, God had already said that Jacob would get the birthright anyway, it was only a matter of how. Plus, birthright wasn't something that was necessarily set in stone anyway - for instance, Isaac in his old age put Joseph's sons in reverse birth order when he blessed them.
Haha, literally broke the silence of my office with hysterical laughter. I'm sorry for the guy, but this is just too damn funny.
He doesn't know the difference between "knew" and "new" either.
So I jumped in cab with dice in the mirror, sped over to Duke Burger for a WOPR, but the voice at the window said "hehe, we're like...closed," and I told to the cabby "yo home's, smell you later."

I think courtship might approximately be equal to dating, but then there are the corporate-Statists that demand courtship to mean the two lovely consenters to approach an elevated banker's desktop where a government employee in a whig and Hairy Pottery blouse declares the articles of association to the pen of a corporate sole derived from half her former instrumentality legal name to be supplanted by the husbandman's surname.

That "article" is just an attempt to drive traffic to that site, which is un-interestingly enough, a SEO news site. Of course the site doesn't generate any content, beyond poorly written articles about things that don't matter. I'm curious as to how it made it up onto /.at all. Sigh.
I worked for a company that grew into SEO. It's a joke. Everyone with half a brain knows it. Unfortunately a lot of marketing people don't have half a brain so SEO continues to generate revenue. Instead of getting a decent web developer, marketing types pay enormous sums of money for people to look at their meta tags and give advice about what to put into h1 headers. Its retarded.
"(two is traditional)" .. it is indeed true for the the reconstructed Roman pronunciation.

I'm going to skip A) - I recall that passage differently, but don't care enough to look it up.
Regarding B) however? You're saying the part where he disguised himself in order to receive the blessing is moot then? The same way if you win the lottery and jokingly trade the ticket for a kiss from a pretty girl, then she forges the signature on the check to receive the prize money, it's not fraud?
You know, if the one true word of your God calls that ethical, you need to go shopping for a divinity that's read better books on ethics.

I'm going to skip A) - I recall that passage differently, but don't care enough to look it up.
I'll save you the trouble. They were supposed to leave the cities and flee to the mountains, which they eventually did, although with a bit of warbling along the way. First Lot complained that the mountains were too remote, and asked God to spare the hill cities so that he could take refuge there; but then, apparently feeling like "the only guy who escaped from Sodom & Gomorrah because he's such a goody-goody" and fearing for his safety, he finally did flee to the mountains with his family.
Presumably God wanted them to just sit tight for a while. The whole getting-a-kid-from-dad idea was purely concocted by Lot's daughters, who didn't like the idea of living out in the middle of nowhere with no men. God put them into those circumstances, but their reaction to those circumstances was based on their own poor decision-making. Furthermore, the descendants of Lot's daughters' incestuous relationships with their father were generally at odds with the descendants of Abraham - very similar in fact to the results of Abraham's taking matters into his own hands with his maid and the descendants by his son through her, Ishmaal.
Regarding B) however? You're saying the part where he disguised himself in order to receive the blessing is moot then?
Ah, I'd overlooked that. It was underhanded, no doubt about it. Granted, the blessing was supposed to belong to him anyway - it was part of the birthright. His dad favoured Esau and wanted to reverse the deal that they'd made. Anyway - it was a blessing. Blessing comes from God, not man; it really didn't matter all that much what sort of fuzzy good feelings were elicited by some words spoken by a dad on his death-bed.
However that doesn't justify Jacob's deception - in fact we can also pretty safely say that it wasn't God's plan either - and it caused him plenty of problems, as well: he feared for his life and had to flee the country and live with his uncle for years, which led to a whole series of more bad decisions. And even though Jacob and Esau were eventually reconciled their descendants still didn't ever tend to be on particularly amicable terms.
So to sum it up, yes, there's plenty of material to draw from if you want illustrations from the Bible of people doing unethical things. And there were always consequences, so it's given in example of what not to do. There were plenty of thou-shalt-nots... but stories illustrating bad choices and their consequences tend to be more memorable than thou-shalt-nots.
Haha, you might have to import a divinity from another universe. Not sure if there is any deity on earth that had any sense of ethics or morality.
Not sure if there is any deity on earth that agrees with my sense of ethics or morality.
FTFY.
Part of the very nature of a deity is that it gets to define what "ethics" and "morality" actually are. That was the serpent's original temptation to Eve - the knowledge of good and evil. In gaining our own sense of ethics and morality, we became like god, exactly as it had promised her.
And, since part of the nature of fallen man is that our new-found sense of ethics and morality was at odds with God's sense of ethics and morality, it's only natural that you won't find God's sense of ethics and morality to be in agreement with yours.
But i see your point.
I'm the kind of idiot that needs to know everything before making an attempt at defining something like ethics, morality, justice, etc...
On the contrary... only an idiot ever would make an attempt at defining something like absolute ethics, morality, justice, etc., without first having absolute knowledge of everything. That's why fallen man's sense of ethics and morality disagrees with God's in the first place - God does know everything.
It's kind of funny. I made a joke about "men's rights advocates" with someone earlier, then I read this a few days late because I'd forgotten to get around to it. And one of the early comments pretty much sums the problem with these people (and their wannabes). In it (I'm not scrolling to quote), they mention something to the effect that women will always be the ones who choose the mates.
You know, if you ever wonder why the stereotype of nerds includes the term "pathetic", there's a good one right there.
Every damn one of you whiners knows for a fact (deny it if you want) that there are countless "revenge on the ex-girlfriend" type of porn websites. People make fucking money off of this. And even if the majority are staged, you're full of shit if you say they all are. No one's raising a stink about it, no one's going to jail for it, no one's life is ruined (with the possible exception of the ex-girlfriend).
And you know, a lot of people like to think that whining is now an acceptable trait for masculinity. It's not. It is, however, an acceptable trait for being a loser.
Geez.
