I was recently at a party with a guy who was trying to recruit us for the East Coast version of "Burning Man" (held in Delaware). One of his ideas was to have a hotdog stand where the men had to show their penis to get a hot dog and their ass to get a bun. I told him: 'Are you crazy? The minute those images hit Facebook, we'd all be international laughing stocks'. If I'm so enamored with myself that I need to post pictures or my activities (Twitter) on the web, daily, I need the therapist's couch, not online access. It's funny though interacting with 20-somethings. Their collective impatience has surpassed that of even the "me generation".
