What Do We Think?

Well, to start with, if you’re using any of the above, you’re really lacking in a little imagination and as such, you’re very liable to come to the attention of the less wholesome aspects of the internet. Well, I say that, but there are more than a few examples which honestly baffle me a little.

Donald? I suppose that’s something to do with the US President. I’m moderately curious now to see if that’s the password to his Twitter account. Princess, sunshine and monkey though? Well, if you do use one of those passwords I’d be curious to here as the logic process that led you to choose them.
