Stupid things posted on Facebook are still funny.
Posting self-incriminating information on Facebook is *more* than “the 21st-century stupid criminal equivalent of robbing a bank and leaving behind your driver’s license”. Leaving your license behind suggests an accident, posting evidence on Facebook is proactive stupidity. Especially in cases like this one.

Idiot criminals as a newsworthy item predate the internet by a long stretch.
No matter how many times the Facebook thing happens, it will NEVER stop being funny.
