(Newser) – A Zimbabwe teenager’s backside will be taking the heat for an ill-judged Facebook comment. The 17-year-old boy was convicted of “criminal insult,” and sentenced to two strokes from a cane after taking a photograph of a woman, posting it on Facebook, and calling her a “typical prostitute,” ABC reports. In his defense, he argued that he was new to Facebook. This is believed to be the African country’s first Facebook-related caning, although not its first Facebook arrest: Zimbabweans have been jailed for making political comments on Facebook, including remarks supporting uprisings in North Africa.

You gotta love this kid’s excuse. I’m new to facebook bro! I thought thats what this shit was for! Almost like Costanza fucking the cleaning lady. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? Bottom line is I don’t care if you’re in Greenwich, Connecticut or Zimbabwe, Africa, the sole purpose for Facebook is posting pictures of people and stalking them and judging them. Those are the basic purposes, even if you’re in the Third World. Now once you get out of war torn, AIDS infested countries, we can start to add the luxury of trying to use facebook to get laid, but for the time being for this kid in Zimbabwe was using facebook exactly how God and Zuckerberg intended. See a chick looking like a typical prostitute? Post a pic and write a caption that says “typical prostitute.” Thats facebook folks. I bet all his tribal buddies in the huts down the river were “Liking” that picture. Like yup, thats Ayibongwe. Bitch is a typical prostitute. I guess they cane you in Zimbabwe for telling the truth.
