    Does anyone else think this is really creepy?

    http://www.tubecrush.net/

    Basically people see someone they like, take a picture, and post it on this site. Either in the hope the person contacts them, or to just have a leer. Funny enough its mainly pics of men. For one thing, don’t all camera phones make a noise when you take a picture? Also, what do the picture snappers think will happen if the person spots them doing this? Just creepy. :eek:

    Well, they do say in the about Tube Crash section that this website was set up to pay "homage to the hommes".

    Its not that different from looking through Facebook friends photos and people with no profile privacy.

    Yeah I suppose, there’s just something weird about taking a secret picture of a complete stranger, at least if they're on your FB page or your friends page you probably know them.

    So let me get this straight; you see somebody you like sitting 5 feet away from you on a train, and, instead of actually saying 'hi', you take a picture of them - hoping meanwhile that they won't spot you taking the pic and think you're a freak (which, by the way, you are if you do this). Then you post the picture on one of the millions of websites on the internet in the hope that by some insane freak of coincidence the person in the picture will FIND the website, FIND their picture, and be SO flattered that they'll try to make contact with a random faceless stranger from the train that didn't have the balls to say hi in the first place?

    Tachnology is brilliant! Bringing people together, indeed...

    Judging by that first page, it's, without question, a gay site.

    Is there a non-gay version of this web-site?

    An admirable, if understandably naive, first post.

    Have sex with each other, possibly. Or maybe embark on a mutually benificial long-term, loving relationship. Or both. Or neither. Who can say?
