Facebook Fiasco

I warned you all years ago that Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc., was nothing more than a grab on your personal information and relationships to exploit. I told you all that your ego was selling you out for "likes" from people who really don't mean shII in your life should push come to shove. 

Now you're shocked that Facebook is being blamed for sharing your personal information. 

Did you really think this fun internet service was being offered to you for free?  I hate to break it to you, but nothing is free.  Always remember that.  Especially when you want to download the latest app for whatever.  Your information is being tracked and sold. 

I don't think Facebook is entirely to blame here.  You're an idiot if you think these tech giants protect your information.  Still, there you are.....posting your constant whereabouts....taking pictures of what you had for dinner....consenting to quizzes that steal your data....the look at me vacation photos....detailed lists of your friends and families. 

Don't post anything that you don't want the entire world to see. 

Required viewing:  Terms and Conditions May Apply.  It's a documentary film that will make you think before hitting that "like" button or posting your political views. 

It's over, folks and thank GOD.  Social media and oversharing has run its course.  it's soooooo last decade.  The new "cool" is to be offline.  No results when your name is typed in a search?  That's the new status symbol. 

Didn't I say that snail mail, cash, and actual phone calls were making comeback? 

Damn.  I did. 

Facebook: Popularity Contest for the Unpopular

Like I need any more reasons to hate the most popular app some college kid created to degrade the chicks who refused to date him. The irony is that the most prominent users now on Facebook are bored wives on Prozac. 

Most of the general population (i.e., bored moms on Prozac and the bored/underemployed) think they "need" Facebook to be visible in this day and age.  You don't.  You only look like a needy, pathetic ass if you're fishing for "likes" on your business or latest money-making scheme endeavor. 

No, I don't want to see pics of your company manager's 44th birthday where she has posted a pic of herself licking a phallic-shaped-something with flames.  So professional -- not.  No, I don't want to see your frat-party-wannabe drinking contest pics posted, either.  You are waaaaaaaaay past the age where this was once thought remotely cool.  Now you look like a pathetic dork who tries to look like a gangster downing shots with other drunk ass-wipes along with those in the background with their hats turned backwards and making duck lips at the camera. 

Yeah, you're bad...... sooooooooo bad.

2012

Well, my predictions for 2011 came true.  I won't bore you with re-posting them as any moron could have predicted them.  You know, politicians lying, Wall Street execs getting away with financially raping us, etc.  Basically..... the theme is the working guy trying to do the right thing and being honest is getting screwed with out a kiss while the people who break the rules get rewarded.  Period. 

My wish for 2012?  Other than mid-east terrorists blowing up Wall Street execs and their whore politicians in elevators?  hmmmmmmmm  Just WHERE is Freddy Kruger with Ahmad Kameel when you need them? 

Here is my wish for 2012.  I have a dear, dear friend back home who is dealing with cancer.  Her wish?  Just to not have cancer.  How pure of a wish is that?  Here I blog and bitch about meaningless shit that pisses me off...and in the big picture none of what I bitch about means shit.  M's wish????? Just to NOT have to deal with cancer.  My wish is her wish.....  Telling cancer to f*** off so we can continue blasting our "mutual" friends on facebook, drink wine, and laugh at your collective dumb-asses.

Sorry, M, I did not post pics of myself naked in my bedroom, nor did I post pics of myself cleaning my boyfriends teeth with my tongue. Just WHAT would we laugh at????????   Our love being like chili and onions???? Bwa-haaaaaaaaa...  just remember always.... as I start my truck in the morning to go to work, the key that starts my truck is like the key to your heart. 

Yes.... people post lame shit like this on fb..... we laugh at YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
