Facebook Phenomenon

Let me start by saying Phenomenon is a hard word to spell the first time. I'm big enough to admit I got it wrong my first try, and had to check dictionary.com

So I'm still sitting here jacked up on Niacin (See the next post) and with nothing to do. Therefore I do what I normally do when I'm bored, and online. I creep facebook profiles. I think there are still a lot of profiles on my friend's list that I haven't even looked at. I'm pretty liberal with my addition of friends though. I have people on there that I hardly even know, but hey I'm a friendly guy, so add em on. It just gives me more profiles to creep through when I'm bored. I've noticed a shocking trend on facebook. Applications.

I have scrabulous, and some fancy map that shows where I've been in the world. I am a very big fan of both. I love playing scrabble, and the map is both a glaring reminder of the places I didn't get a chance to visit which will always cause me a bit shame, and a good indication of all the awesome places I did get to visit. However almost everyone else seem to have upwards of 25-50 applications installed on their profile. People my age and older seem to have been reduced to the online modern equivalent of 14 year old girls, putting stickers on their locker doors. And not just women either. Men are guilty of this crime too. I understand that these facebook applications are devious little fuckers requiring you to send at least 15 of your friends a stupid invite to join the retard club, so you can proceed to either bite people, or be a pirate, or a vampire, or a werewolf, or whatever the fuck the pointless application does. You'll then proceed to use this stupid application a few times until it just sits on your profile collecting proverbial dust, and forcing me to wade through pages and pages of shit to creep your profile.

SuperWall or FunWall or whatever the hell it's called is the most sinister demon of the bunch. I mean I hate getting spam mail in my email inbox, but this application has taken spam to scary scary new levels. People who I know personally wouldn't open a spam email RE: ENLARGE YOUR COCK NOW FOR $$$$$$$$$ LOW PRICES BIG BIG RESULTS INCREASE YOUR PLESURE FOR HALF THE COST are willingly spreading this superwall spam. I don't understand how this application manages to install this level of hysteria in people such as to make them perpetuate (I spelled that right on the first try go me) this evil evil spam demon. I understand that some people like my mother didn't realize you could delete applications from your profile page. Well you can. I suggest you spread the word, and maybe get these funwalls deleted.

This application shitstorm has gotten so bad I've found some profiles with little tiny squares representing an application, and these people have a whole lot of squares. Could be like 60-100 squares. That's just not right. There is no way you could possibly be using even a small fraction of those applications. Is it because they are free that people seem to want so many? Perhaps they are like Pokemon or something. (What the fuck. Blogger's spell check did not approve charnel but Pokemon is okay? You can tell this program is american.) If somebody does in fact collect all the applications let me know how it goes. Maybe it opens a portal to the 4th level of hell. Which is home to hoarders, and wasters it seems according to

I see that violence against neighbours, and homosexuals are both invited to the same party in the 7th layer of hell. I believe that layer is either the refried beans, or the guacamole (Again on the first try. I'm getting better at this spelling thing) in the 9 layer hell salad. Keep this in mind if you decide you want to attack your gay neighbour and beat him or her to death. When they are choking out their last words "I'll see you in hell" while you have your fag hating hands wrapped around their homosexual throat it's not an empty threat. It seems you two will in fact have tickets to the same afterlife party. I know where I want to be when I go to hell. Pimps, and "Seducers" are both attending the level 8 show, so that should be a pretty fly party.

Anyway I fucking hate facebook applications for the most part. Facebook is about connecting with, and cyber stalking people you used to go to school with, and probably never even thought about until they sent you a friend request. Unfortunately it seems everyone I used to know just seemed to grow up into an adult version of themselves. I'm hoping to eventually stumble across somebody that changed their sex, or lost half their face in a horrible accident or something. Just to keep things interesting.
