Today is Big Whopper Liar Day. Do they really need a day in which to celebrate lies? Is deception something we should aspire to? I don't think so. One of my pet peeves is glorifying destructive ideas and terms. This is one of the reasons I am so against practical jokes. I know some say it's all in good fun, but I've seen too many practical jokes gone bad with some gruesome or devastating consequences. Why does society glorify deception?

Last week was Facebook Week and I began last week much the same as I will this week with your pet peeves. So... What are your Twitter Pet Peeves? Here are mine... My three top Twitter Pet Peeves are: 1. Folks with no info in their bio 2. Folks who post things like "Get 10k followers in 15 minutes!" and have 14 followers and no other tweets. 3. Folks who post things that make no sense. I'll be discussing the Twitter Pet Peeves more in depth on the show. I'll also be discussing the differences between...
