Dan Vs. World
Episode 1: The FACEBOOK
It’s another typical night in the apartment in Guatemala. Dan is intently watching FOX news despite the fact he hates it. Frustrated with the television, he averts his eyes to random objects in the living room. Dan notices his daughter Casey opening up her laptop. He decides she might need help with whatever she is doing. Because, after all, she’s only 18.
Dan: “Whoa whoa whoa! What’s that?! ‘[Name] enjoys pooping on front lawns?!’ Why would somebody say that about you?!?”
Casey: “Dad, it’s not on my Facebook. It’s what I see when I log in.”
Dan: “Why would somebody want you to see that every time you log in?”
Casey: “They don’t, it’s just part of the news feed.”
Dan (reading the screen): “ ‘[Name] is divorced?!’ WHAT?! Casey how old is that girl? She goes to your school doesn’t she?!”
Casey (frustrated but remaining calm): “No, she’s not divorced. It’s just a joke. I’m divorced on Facebook. People do that all the time on Facebook.”
Dan (sighs): “Oh.”
Dan rubs his forehead and folds arms in relief.
Dan (returns to look at screen, 4 inches away): “So people put jokes on your page?”
Casey: “Um..sure...”
Dan: “And you let them write poop all over your website?”
Casey: “No.”
Dan: “Who are all these people?”
Casey: “Friends.”
Dan: “So if I go to your website, this is what I’ll see? I don’t wanna see poop or scary song lyrics on your website. Wait! Click on that click on that!”
Casey reluctantly clicks on “Bloo Bingham” from her News Feed.
Casey: “He’s not really on Facebook, dad. He’s just a friend on Facebook.”
Dan: “Who made a website for our dog?!? HOW DO THEY KNOW WE HAVE A DOG?!”
Casey: “Dad…Erin and I made it. It’s a joke.”
Dan: “So people post all these jokes on here why?”
Casey: “Dad… I don’t know…”
Dan: “Click on that.”
Casey clicks on her own senior pictures.
Dan: “Those are nice! Why are you not smiling? Are you embarrassed of your smile? Why didn’t you do your hair? Did you send these out to people? Why is it black and white?”
Casey: “I don’t know, dad.”
Dan: “Can I see this part of your website if I log in?”
Casey: “Do you have a Facebook?”
Dan: “No, never!”
Casey: “Then no.”
Dan: “Why won’t you let me see them? I’m your dad!”
Casey: “Because you don’t have a Facebook. I’ll email them to you.”
Dan: “Oh so am I not allowed to see your website?”
Casey: “You have to have a Facebook.”
Dan: “I’m not getting on the Facebook! That’s stupid! I don’t want people writing stupid things on my website!”
Casey: “It’s not on your website! OTHER people write those things on THEIR PAGE.”
Dan: “So I can make a page?”
Casey: “You can make a Facebook.”
Dan: “No.”
Casey: “Then fine, don’t make one.”
Dan: “Casey… what?! You’re friends with “Joseph Smith” and "Jimi Hendrix?" ”
