Whoever thinks that the pillory was something of the Middle Ages,
probably hasn’t seen sites such as Dumpert where naming and shaming
attracts thousands of visitors each day. Thanks to the smart phone and

their fights and their swearing. And all under the motto of being the
guardians of morals. But are we really? Or are we just looking for
that minute of fame?
