Why I hate Facebook.
Oh, Facebook. You cyberland of rampant narcissism and wasted time. What started out as a social networking site for college kids has somehow turned into a cesspool of self-absorbed way-too-old-to-be-fucking-around-on-Facebook adults who think that the rest of us actually give a shit about what they're drinking, eating, thinking, reading, watching, and/or are listening to every five minutes. They post their top 5 records, movies and TV shows. They post "25 Random Things About Me" lists. And they tell us constantly what they're "fans of." One person is a fan of "grilled cheese." I kid you not. What have we come to when grilled cheese has its own Facebook page? Someone clearly has way too much time on their hands.
I think I've figured out Facebook's major appeal. It offers uber-narcissists an opportunity to have their proverbial 15 minutes every five fucking minutes!. The site is overcrowded with attention-starved grown-ups essentially screaming "look at me...look at me!" all day long. They change their profile photos as often as I change my underwear, and they've somehow convinced themselves that their lives are infinitely interesting all the time. The "audience factor" is just way too attractive to these folks. It's drunken karaoke without the booze and the bad singing, but with all the requisite self-indulgence.

If you haven't seen it yet, you should really see the following clip from Congressman Brad Sherman on CNBC last Friday. It is outstanding.

Better late than never.
And now that you've begun to get a clearer picture of reality, I invite you to take a look at OTHER useless BULLSHIT that most Americans center their lives around; like Twitter, the fucking stupid Blackberry, and the iPod. All of them communication devices spefifically designed for stupid Americans ... with NOTHING TO SAY.
BTW, I love Colbert but the last time I checked; NO revolution was ever won by cracking jokes.
This REALLY IS pitchfork time, douchebags of America!
