Laptop Dad gets a visit from the authorities. (And they say "Meh!")

57. You make a good point

I've been thinking this whole thing is creepy.

First, the guy has zero respect for his daughter's privacy - bragging about being in IT and therefore able to get into her Facebook account, computer, probably email - i.e. she has no right to any privacy. A sense of privacy and boundaries are very important for teens.

Second, he takes *way* too much offense at his daughter complaining about chores - something that probably every teen on the planet has done at some point.

And finally, instead of acting like a decent parent and talking with her, he uses the "entire internet" in just the way you point out. Sure there are lots of people who are frustrated with their teenagers' behavior who are going to think it's funny and/or justified, but really if any thought is given to it, it's clear that it's creepy and very poor parenting. And that's not even mentioning the gun.
