Bernie, Have You Been Hacked on Facebook?

That's the question a friend posed last night.

"A couple of really strange YouTube videos just showed on FB under your name. Either you have a deep interest in other language videos or you've been hacked. I don't want to click on them or I would send them to you, but they're strange foreign things..."

Nobody hacked me. I do have a deep interest in "strange foreign things."

Last weekend, I played around with my Youtube account so I could post video from there to F/B. I mistakenly set it so that any video I "favorite" on youtube automatically appears there, too. So this afternoon, when I favorited two youtube videos that I like, they were automatically listed for all my Facebook friends.

It's a good thing I wasn't watching porn.

What I was watching was talented singer and songwriter Utada Hikaru, the NYC-born daughter of two talented Japanese musicians. She's virtually unknown here, but is quite the diva in Japan. I understand next to nothing when I listen to her, but her melodies enchant me.

You can check her out yourself here.

    God, she's gorgeous, and her music is so original.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
