Ugh... something on facebook is getting a lot more annoying

Look, there's a lot of facebook haters out here and I want to start by saying I'm not one of them. I like it for getting together a huge group of people for different things when using a phone would be too complicated. It's even good to catch up with old friends.

Something has been getting out of control though, and that's all this '<person> is a fan of <blah>'. It seemed like a good idea at the time. You can put in what movies, actors, books, etc you like which was still pretty worthless but at least had some merit. Today I saw this pop up: "2 of your friends are fans of LAUGHING. Become a fan"

Laughing? Fucking laughing? What tweedle-fuck dip-shitter needs to announce to their friends that they enjoy laughing? That implies that there are some people who don't enjoy laughing, which might make sense given how many emo fruits are on this thing.

You know what I'm a fan of? Shitting. Breathing's pretty good too. I'm also quite partial to choking my chicken, sleeping, making racist comments, hookers and blow... but I'm not going to post that obvious shit on facebook. Christ almighty what a stupid fucking idea.

I'm not a fan of people who are fan's of things
 
Start your own fan thingy so everyone knows you're a fan of people who aren't fans of stupid shit.
 
I need to catch up with my face book account one day. Sometimes I wonder what ever happened to [some person I went to school with]

I too, got tired with all the notices "so and so has made so and so their friend" "so and so has this interest" I don't care!
 
Facebook is Myspace for people who think Myspace is shit. You can essentially do the same thing on both, but FBers will always turn their noses up at the mention of Myspace, like FB is not even close to the same, lol. I will say while I don't like either at all, the iPhone FB/MS apps are pretty cool. The closest I come to social networking is when I'm playing Counter Strike and using voice/text chat. And that generally involves belittling somebody I just killed, or accusing somebody who killed me of cheating.

I like this idea... I may just do that. But then I'd be a part of the group I hate, right? Oh I don't know *head asplodes*

No, it would be for a good cause. Make it so I can become a fan.

Yes. For some people though, its more fun to complain about it.

no :roll:
 
Well I can't make that fan page as I keep getting this:
"Our automated system will not approve the name "people who aren't fans of stupid shit because it contains a word or phrase that is blocked to prevent the creation of unofficial or otherwise prohibited Pages. If you believe this is an error, please contact our Customer Support team."

But the word 'shit' isn't the problem as I've changed it and it didn't work. Might just have to make a standard group for it 🙁

Haha...
 
Heh, I just ignore that crap. I'm a purist, if you can say one exists. I try to keep my feeds/etc as minimal as possible, and NEVER install any applications, no matter how many spam invitations I get to 'mob wars' or some other crap. If I wanted that, I'd open a myspace page. ::shudder::
 
I think even worse than the Fan pages are the stupid quizzes that have been taking up most of my feed lately. The ones that say "xxx has taken the 'What type of personality are you' quiz and the result is xxxxx"

Those are quite poor too. But I've disabled notifications from that shit.
