You might have seen that Facebook has now crossed 350,000,000 users. Really! The MullerOver editors did some fact checking on Wikipedia, and it turns out that if Facebook was a country, it would be the third largest in the world behind China and India. Like any country, the social networking site has it’s share of idiosyncrasies.
For instance, Facebook has become that gossipy friend everyone telling everyone what you’re doing. Each day, it announces to all your friends, “I heard that Jim is now friends with Betty Sue. I’m just telling you what I heard.” Try to now plan a surprise party without Facebook being that friend that ruins everything. Facebook’s live feed would announce, “Chris is planning a surprise party for you.”
And another thing … do you remember when MySpace was cool? Now, mention MySpace to a Facebook user and you’ll receive a superior snort of derision. That’s SOOO 2005. Or what about the omnipresent founder of MySpace named Tom (pictured left – you remember him). Believe it or not, since he is a human, he now has a Facebook page as well. That’s like George Steinbrenner caught wearing a Red Sox cap or Bill Gates typing away on a Mac Book Pro at Starbucks. Or Michael Moore putting a “Palin in 2012″ bumpersticker on his Hummer.
And another thing … what’s with all these MafiaWars gifts we get everyday? I’ve got enough imaginary lead pipes and sawed off shotguns to take on an imaginary army. I’m really not sure what MafiaWars is all about, but based on how often its played, it seems to be more addictive than crack. I’m wondering if Mafia Wars should be regulated by the FDA. We’re worried about legalizing marijuana when these addicted Mafia Wars people have been sitting in a dark room surrounded by empty pizza boxes.
Then again, maybe that would solve our prison overcrowding problem. Instead of putting them in cells, just give the criminals a Facebook account with Mafia Wars and we’d never hear from them again. (more)
