"Who says Facebook is the province of the young? Increasingly, the 30something bosses of naive recent college grads are proving adept at turning the social network against its earliest adopters. Kevin Colvin, an intern at Anglo Irish Bank's North American arm, was busted when he told his manager, Paul Davis, that he'd miss work due to a "family emergency". Davis turned up the photo above, freshly posted to Facebook from the Halloween party Colvin apparently missed work to attend, and attached it to his reply, copying the rest of the office as he did it. The email thread is now spreading around the net. After the jump, the entire exchange, and the incriminating photo."

The thing is, in the emails, he never once said "family emergency."

Has anyone found if he was actually fired?

11/13/2007 1:21:01 AM

there are too many things wrong with his picture.

11/13/2007 1:24:00 AM

guy looks like a fag.

11/13/2007 1:24:05 AM

I doubt he'll get fired after his boss goes and just totally destroys his ass like that.

11/13/2007 1:25:21 AM

I like how they call it "face book" and "my-space"

Judging by his outfit, it looks like he may have blown a lot more than that!

Was he a surgeon or something?

Talk radio was all over this story this morning. They were going off on how atrocious it was that he had lied to get a day off. I didn't see the big deal. They guy lied to get out of going to work, it happens every day. What person hasn't done that at least once in their lives?

Sure, it's funny that he got busted dressed as a UNC fan, but it's not that big a deal that he faked an illness to get a day off.

He needs to grow the fuck up. I'd never miss work for a fucking HALLOWEEN PARTY

I mean, you can do both, shit.

oh, adn that kid is gay

11/13/2007 9:42:41 AM

to be honest, he was only an intern

11/13/2007 9:44:02 AM

I'm willing to bet the bank hired him under the assumption that he wasn't an irresponsible little fairy boy

11/13/2007 9:44:29 AM

as an intern i would have just said "i really want to go to a halloween party and dont think ill be in tomorrow"

11/13/2007 9:45:15 AM

I think the party was in NY and he lived elsewhere, so he had to take a couple days off.

you think so, but you're actually leaving yourself open to identity theft. you could get fired on somebody else's shenanigans

11/13/2007 10:09:18 AM

just wait until bosses find out you went to State

"oh, you're a wolfpacker? i've seen some crazy stuff on that there Wolf Web thing."

So you do stupid things like this all the time but your saving grace is that you can't put it up on facebook?

11/13/2007 10:12:07 AM

[no]

we have all done stupid shit but people cant search for what isnt there

better to let people think that you are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt

That's a lot of bullshit. Like I'm gona take the heat for someone else being a dumbass. You could hypothetically sue the shit out of someone for that. One way or the other, you're not going to get fired for someone posing as you on the internet. Seriously, potential lawsuits are abound in this hypothetical situation.

Stealing credit cards kind of identity theft is one thing (simple crime), being a complete retard and trying to make someone's facebook for them is fucking beyond stupidity.

I haven't, and I'm sure the majority of people don't either if they ever expect to get anywhere in life.
