The Facebook Generation

The lady on the train in front of me - well dressed, attractive - is reading Spirit & Destiny magazine. Or possibly Psychologies. She doesn't appear to be doing it for the comedy potential. Reading an article titled 'Tantra' over her shoulder, I encounter this:

The author tells how a year ago she met a wonderful man, Gary. She immeidately knew it was serious. And how did this early commitment manifest itself? 'We each changed our facebook status to "in a relationship".

I suppose it will save them having to fork out for rings come the wedding.
