That one-night stand just became an even worse decision: New craze of men tweeting pictures of their sleeping partners sweeps the net


It's the picture no woman wants taken - semi-naked in bed after a night out, messy hair and make-up smeared across her face as she lies asleep. But more and more shameless men are sneakily snapping pictures of their sleeping one-night stands and posting them online for thousands of followers to see. The new social networking trend - dubbed #bedofshame - has emerged on Twitter and has left women across the land reeling.

Many were smiling and were pictured with their thumbs up. Beadle has since been dubbed a 'hero' and 'legend' by his Twitter fans. However, in a statement today he urged people to delete the images after some women branded it 'sickening' and 'disgusting'. Others got their own back by posting pictures of men lying next to them asleep.

However, many men were quick to defend the trend, describing it as a 'laugh' and 'banter'.

there are already plenty of websites out there with such pics. Videos, even. And I've seen a few 3x5's passed around the bar over the years.

However it's done, though, it's lowlife. Maybe, if the woman agrees, and she's sober, it might barely get a pass, but it's still pretty rotten and adolescent to blast "Hey! Look who I just fucked!" for all the world to see. There will be repercussions.

And these guys are just doing it for bragging rights, not money like the "Girls Gone Wild" guy did. How stupid is that?

i hope you say something to the guy that does it at the bar. sons and i just had a conversation about this. chad johnson. australia air. all wrapped up in one. we all need to speak up. whether it is guy behavior or girl. we need to address our gender.

(i brought girls in because our conversation went to chads wife hitting on him, starting the violence, or girls in school hitting a boy. and no one says anything. or the guy gets in trouble. and that needs to be called out, too. for whatever reason, that has been being brought into our house the last couple days)

but, something like this will take a man calling it in front of that friend.
