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.

  1. Is this truly how you feel if so i demand action, be the Ghandi, or how about switching stance and writing some work (rant) on how facebook is amazing

    my belief is facebook is amazing
    or has the potential to be amazing
    so i would be willing to switch stance and write how it is rubbish

    pps
    perhaps and this is a big perhaps
    the world of creation
    and people who create or quest to create new ideas and there own songs, stories, artwork, music, songs ground breaking or sky shattering endeavours in science etc
    should have a face-book type space on the web in order to do just whay you say -
    talking to people and discussing ideas, feelings and stories
    if only there was a way to design websites - huh there is wahey!
    ppps
    wheres my sandwich

    This part was really cleverly and wittingly written by the way and funny too especially the situation of having a book inside your face (quite a dark and sparkling critique of face-book )

  4. I'm so glad u like it, as I was trying to get things off my chest without blowing a cylinder and have now taken the opposite position as suggested. From now on I will use this virtual realm to create, innovate and share things (other than beastly thoughts from the dungeon dimensions). Would you like a banana, my fuzzy ginger friend? OoOok!
