Be Alert, Not Alarmed

e Internet can be a big, scary place and things aren't always as they first appear.

Have you even been inoculated against Internet Disease?

Wait, you don't even know what it is? 

There's still hope. Fortunately for you, Enyclopædia Dramatica gives it coverage here. They define it as

displaying old, faded, blurred or otherwise non-descript photographs of oneself, taken with bad lighting and at awkward angles, on the Internets in order to make you appear more attractive to people online than you are IRL.

Here's a handy guide that accompanies the article:

To be on the safe side, I also recommend you check out Jennifer's "The Buttafly Guide to Interpreting MySpace / Facebook / Friendster Photos". 

You never know when you might need it.
