So far I've been "invited" to 3 events on facebook that are nothing but spam. The invite lists are in the tens of thousands. I've gotten invites to stuff like "LG Washer & Dryer giveaway" and a PS3 givaway. Ugh. I hope this isn't a new trend.

On a related note, adblock plus for chrome stopped working today. I guess I'm quitting the internet till this is all sorted out.

Get Firefox, Adblock, Flashblock, Ant-Social, and Better Privacy. Delete your Facebook account. Problem solved.
