Today, I found out that aside from being savagely overworked and treated like shit for zero pay, another one of my responsibilities as an intern is to take the blame for my boss accidentally posting a link to a porn site on the company's Twitter account. FML

Today, my boss yelled at me for visiting Facebook on my work computer. He says that since I can't be trusted, I'll be supervised from now on. I was uploading pictures to the company's Facebook page, which I have to do once a week as part of my job. FML

Today, my boss was using my computer and tried to copy and paste a website URL. It must not have copied first, because it pasted a URL to a porn site. I think I should start looking for a new job. FML

Today, my boss bitched me out for violating workplace privacy, after he found an FML post from last year that eerily resembled a situation that happened the same year. He thought I posted it and twisted things to make him look like an idiot. I've never posted here in my life. FML

Today, my boss fired me because someone hacked our website and replaced pictures of our products with furry porn (don’t Google it, it’s weird as fuck). We don’t have an IT department, but since I spend the most time on the computer controlling stock and purchases, he blamed me instead. FML

Today, at work, I stepped out for a few minutes to use the bathroom. Shortly after returning, I found out the hard way that one of my coworkers had used my computer to send a profanity-filled email to our boss, calling him an asshole and telling him to go fuck himself. I'm now jobless. FML

Today, my boss bitched me out for doing some random web browsing while waiting for some documents I needed to arrive, then went back to his desk and went on Facebook, thinking I couldn't see. FML

Today, I found out my boss and some employees on my floor have bets placed on who can get the best picture of my ass. I found out when one of the pictures was accidentally sent to me. FML

Dude **** that. Make it clear that wasn't your fault. Talk to HR about it.

IT can track it. Don't take the blame.

That sucks OP! I hope it won't follow you throughout your career & you're able to move forward without too many bumps in the road ahead. When you're an intern you're an easy target, unfortunately. Like others have said - I'm sure the IT department can trace it & hopefully HR will hear you out & believe you. HANG IN THERE & WELCOME to the R.W.! ; )

That kind of place will NOT give you a career. And it will never be the kind of place you want to spent the next 40ish years of your life. Report this ass of a boss and get on your way.

This is not acceptable at all. Your boss is using you. Please do not let this go on any further

Bullshit if you let yourself take the hit on that one! & if you do, YDI - that attitude is why they think that they can treat you like shit in the first place.

You're completely missing the biggest lesson of your internship here. Never take the blame. Your boss is showing you that you can be a totally incompetent prick and still be a boss if you can find some idiot to pass the blame to. I suggest pinning it right on his chest.
