Karl Marx is wrong.   Religion is no longer the opium of the people.   Facebook or FB is our new drug.   But this social networking platform isn't just a repository of both vapid and valid distractions.   It's also the source of disturbing news and ridiculous scenarios.   SPOT.ph lists 10 FB scandals that blew our minds and had us reeling in disbelief.

Gina Alajar's pent-up frustration and rage allegedly exploded on her FB status message.

1. Award-winning actress Gina Alajar expresses how much she "un-likes" Manny Pacquiao's leading lady Krista Ranillo

Last year, while Ranillo was in hot water over her rumored relationship with Manny Pacquiao, Alajar seemingly jumped into the fray.   Her FB comment said it all: "Sino si Krista? Siya ang babaeng anak ni Matt Ranillo III na mahilig pumatol sa may asawa." ("Who's Krista? She's the daughter of Matt Ranillo III who likes hooking up with married men.")   Alajar's anger stemmed from the fact that Ranillo was also rumored to have hooked up with her ex-husband Michael de Mesa in the past.   Alajar then allegedly addressed Pacquiao's wife Jinkee, writing, "I was in her shoes once."   She also added: "If I am Jinkee Pacquiao I will not give up Manny. Krista Ranillo is not at all worth it!"   Alajar's words were said to have been "shared" by some of the people in her FB friends network.

Your sanity will be challenged.

2. A man in Pennsylvania propositions his own daughter

Sometime in 2009, John Forehand, 39, who had not had any contact with his biological daughter for 10 years, used FB to track her down. Unfortunately, his reason for doing so was not fatherly.   In fact, Forehand called himself "Bad Daddy" in his online correspondence with his 13-year-old daughter.   He made graphic suggestions to her and revealed that he had "inappropriate dreams" about her.   Luckily, the girl told her mother about it.   Her mother then alerted the police, who proceeded to lure Forehand to a fake meeting with his daughter.   Forehand showed up at the said meeting with a camera, a tripod, and an unopened box of condoms.   He was promptly arrested.
