What happens when the world of parents and kids collide online? Embarrassment, what else?

In the early days of ultra-popular social network Facebook, you had to have an email address that ended in .edu to join the site.  It was originally intended as a netork to be directed primarily at college age students, but as time went on, they opened their doors wider to all comers, and now it seems that parents are finding the wonders of the site, much to the disappointment of their children.

The site has been well known as a place for students to post drunken pictures of themselves after a weekend of debauchery, but while that was already a bad idea due to school officials and employers finding them, what do you do when your parents see them?  Better yet, what do you do when your parents try to act “hip” and get in to all of the Facebook fun?  That is the question being put forth by MyParentsJoinedFacebook.com.

Examples of some of the best parent moments on the social network are being gathered up (an example below) to let every one see just how much fo a nightmare it can be.  With the ever increasing popularity of Facebook, especially with people trying to find old friends, wasn’t this sort of inevitable?  Enjoy the discomfort folks, it isn’t going away any time soon.
