Facebook: Depressed Lady Loses Benefits Because Of Her Facebook Photos

By Ben Popken, 1:16 PM on Fri Nov 20 2009, 37,570 views

A depressed woman has lost her benefits because her insurance agent found Facebook photos where she appears to be having fun.

CBC reports:

A Quebec woman on long-term sick leave is fighting to have her benefits reinstated after her employer’s insurance company cut them, she says, because of photos posted on Facebook…She said her insurance agent described several pictures Blanchard posted on the popular social networking site, including ones showing her having a good time at a Chippendales bar show, at her birthday party and on a sun holiday - evidence that she is no longer depressed, Manulife said.

While Canada has a magical health care system where a unicorn wearing a blue pocketed shirt shows up at your door and your benefits stream out its mouth in a Care Bear rainbow, the fairy dust apparently does not extend to their private insurance market.

In any event, depression is an illness diagnosed by doctors, not by desk jerks conducting amateur “photographic analysis.”

Facebook: the place where people friend their co-workers, then act surprised when they know about their personal lives….

Referee Mishaps

Lately, it seems that every sport is having a problem with their officials. Seems as though every day the top story is about how a group of officials missed a penalty, made the wrong call, made NO call, etc…

Cases in point, just lately:

In the MLB playoffs, there were the outs that weren’t called. There were foul balls that weren’t foul balls.

In the NHL, there have been goals that were called no goal. (Much to the chagrin of the Wings fans, some of whom think it’s all a conspiracy against them. Yeah, the NHL must just hate how much money people spend on one of the most popular franchises ever.)

In the World Cup, the Henry hand-ball goal has every Irish supporter crying bloody murder. (Wait, that’s pretty normal for soccer, isn’t it?)

But, all of this has me thinking: Is this problem really so new? Or, is it just that with all the technology (ie slow-motion, multiple camera angles, all the replays, pitch tracking, etc.) people can SEE such things now?

In years past, would the majority of the sports world have even seen these calls? Without 15 camera angles and a thousand different ways to get a hold the videos, would we know that these were such horrendous calls?

I don’t know. Just a thought.
