Like, Poke and Follow

Recently, i've watched the news about a girl who kipnapped by her "stranger" boyfie, she met the boy on facebook and suddenly the boy lunaticly obsessed with her and kipnapped her TWICE!. I dont know with u but it really made me wandering, how come this things could happen? because i've read more than 10 cases about this kind of kidnapping coming from all over the world.
Actually, this kind of cases becoming world epidemic and (maybe) this is why Nico Muhly (a classical music composer who has collaborated with Bjork, Grizzly Bear and Anthony and the johnson) and Craig Lucas took their part in the making of Two Boys Opera.
Two Boys Opera by Eno Production is a play that brought u a daily (online) life story. its story begin with a teenage boy stabbed. An older boy is caught on CCTV leaving the scene. An open-and-shut case, it would seem. But, as Detective Inspector Anne Strawson investigates the older boy's story, she uncovers a bizarre nexus of chatroom meetings, mysterious internet identities and disturbing cybersex. Something that u can utterly find in your daily life, aight?
But the thing is.. it made me realise that our (online) life is obnoxiously weird actually. For example, on facebook u can poke someone that u barely know, or be liked or commented by some strangers, or suddenly got messages from strangers with a request, "can we be friend?".

So.. what if this "odd things" applied in your real life? what if.. when u walk in the park someone just poke u for no reason?, or coming near u to say "i like your jacket", or even asking u a question "can i be your friend?" in a very sudden, or maybe "follow" u, literally!
If u wanna know, then u should watch this campaign video from Two Boys Opera.. Super Duper Hilarious!



online safely, aight people? :)
