So. One of my classmate posted a photo on the UBC Law Group in Facebook. It is a supposedly funny little collage suggesting that if one of our profs slept with Mr. Dress-up, it would've led to Casey (the puppet).
Clever, maybe. But I don't think it is very nice. If it were me, I would find it hurtful, rude and in bad taste. And knowing the power of the internet, I know there is good chance she might see it someday.
So I posted a comment on the photo, saying what I thought, and that I though he should take it down.
And then I deleted my comment.
I feel conflicted. It's none of my business, really. Should I speak up? Should I be worried about the feelings of my adult professor? Opinions? You can see the picture on Facebook. I am pretty sure it is an opne group.

If your prof has any semblance of a sense of humor they won't be offended. If anything, they'll be flattered that someone would take the time to pay that kind of tribute. 'Cause that's what it looks like to me: a tribute.
There doesn't seem to be anything offensive about this photo. It doesn't denigrate the profs character in any way. It makes light of the professor's appearance, or the profs appearance in that particular photo.
If this prof, on the other hand, doesn't have a sense of humor, and takes offense to this gently mocking tribute, then she deserves all the mockery - gentle and otherwise - that can be sent her way.
Oh, and from what popular culture has told me about lawyers, there's no room for Principles in law school.
maybe you could voice your cautions about posting things on facebook in a more private fashion and then see what happens.
do you talk about facebook in class? because people have been fired for what their employers find on there...must have legal implications of some kind.
