I Saw Goody Facebook With The Devil!
Another day, another journalist whinging about why Facebook is the most evil thing facing humankind at the moment. Today’s piece in the Daily Mail is cleverly titled “Are you on Facebook? And is it ruining your life?” which is probably a question we could all ask ourselves from time to time.
Here’s are some example as to why all of us who choose to waste our lives on Facebook are complete dickheads.
- Apparently some idiot student named Laura uses the line “Are you on Facebook” as her opener at parties! SYMPTOMATIC OF THE SHALLOWNESS OF TODAY’S “YOUTH”, IT WASN’T LIKE THAT IN THE OLD DAYS, ETC!
- Morons attract morons, and so Laura’s boyfriend Tim used Facebook to look for photos of her smiling near other boys and then dumped her! SOMEHOW ALL FACEBOOK USERS ARE ALL TO BLAME FOR THIS!
- Conversations on Facebook are banal! (Consider the following: “Does anyone like the rain?” “No, it spoils my hair and I don’t like the rain drops on my glasses.”) OH JOURNALIST TOM ROWSTORNE, PERHAPS FACEBOOK DOESN’T MAKE PEOPLE DULL, PERHAPS YOU ARE JUST FRIENDS WITH DULL PEOPLE?
- A professor who is an expert on friendship (!!!!) is saddened by Facebook! “I have looked at Facebook and am depressed by the triviality of it. “It is all ‘How do you feel?’ . . . ‘I have got a hangover’ . . . that sort of stuff.” WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING YOU’D EVER DARE SAY TO THE FACES OF YOUR REAL ‘OFFLINE’ FRIENDS!
Read the whole thing for yourself.

Ah, god, the Crucible reference of the title made me laugh more than anything else this week. And I’ve been reading the Tom Cruise biography.
