In this 50s Style news reel we meet Alice, an average teen (white, blond) who loves her beau Timmy until she discovers he downgraded them from "In a relationship" to "Single" on Facebook. She is not impressed and decides to seek revenge when she finds that he "friended" a buxom brunette in the middle of the night.

As their relationship falls apart online we learn the dos and do not dos of dating in the social networking world (aka the electronic friendship generator.)

Most of the rules in the video are sort of obvious (don't post pics of your boyfriend wearing your underwear for all to see), but the well-handled anachronisms make it worth a watch...also the part in which she calls him a Communist.
