Apologies for last week's atrocious behaviour. I fully rescind any derogatory statements regarding the book of face apart from the part about alternative creations, selfish megalomaniacs and society's inevitable plunge into idiocy.
Having seen a photo of one of the Thai 'Red Shirt' leaders using facebook to share political ideologies after his government shut down his website, I now believe that the social networking phenomenon can be used for good. How effective this communication is, I have no gauge on and can only speculate on the efficacy of other people's behaviour when I have spent this fine Thursday morning sleeping, eating and waiting to do a poo.
rant in F major
facebook is rubbish.
instead of talking to people and discussing ideas, feelings and stories we now feel obliged to communicate through meaningless abbreviated cliches, OMGROFLLMAO! if i wanted to spend my life drooling monosyllabic crap, pretending that I'm something that I'm not, desperately trying to fit in, I would have joined the marketing industry. look at what social networking could be used for - collaboration, saving time, effective networking etc. and look at what it is primarily used for.
a film about facebook is revolting garbage, the kind that we dump in small african villages through fly-by-night corporate-directed small businesses. why would anyone want to spend their free time paying homage to geeky, selfish megalomaniacs who have cursed our society with the gift of unburdenable idiocy? because it's cool. it's cool and we've got plenty of time and money to splurge on bullshit, rather than creating something ourselves or reading a book or, perhaps even more enlightening, shooting yourself in the face. Why not combine all three and create a situation of having a book inside your face? Damien Hirst eat your heart out and stud it with diamonds.
