Facebook Who Are You: Natasha Brown

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Within the last few months, I’ve been receiving friend requests from females who are scantily clad in lingerie and nighties, and they seem to be my age or younger. I never know who these women are nor do I believe they are actual people with feelings and hopes and dreams. With that in mind, I will now be posting them on here. That’s what they all want, right? The attention? Today’s latest request is from Natasha Brown, who actually has that she went to U of I (my alma mater) and went to a hoity toity high school.

pleeaaaaaaaaaase pay attention to me

Judging by the poor lighting, hair, and makeup, this instance may very well be a real person behind this profile. The Ikea lamp in the background is perplexing as well. Maybe she just wants a real photographer to shoot her? Maybe she should try messaging. Somebody who graduated high school and college four years earlier than everyone else her age should probably know about that option.

I’m not sure if it’s more distressing to be friended by fake profiles of girls or real profiles from Lebanese men.

Ehh, we weren’t that close anyway… nomnomnom

Burger King has let loose the latest of its hip marketing: the whopper sacrifice. For ten of your facebook friends, you can get a coupon for a free whopper. WHAT? Yes. It’s an application on facebook, and Burger King’s website is keeping a count.

“They” say they are challenging people’s fair-weathered friends lists. I say they are cleaning up. Your limit of coupons is one burger per account, so don’t go deleting everyone and be eating burgers everyday — it isn’t healthy! Bonus: whopper-sacrifices show up on facebook feeds.

Banhammered Michael Ian Black

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Michael Ian Black got banned from Facebook and wrote about it. Wtf, Mark Zuckerberg?

Neither of us generate as much advertising revenue as we would like, but that’s not my fault. I didn’t create your shitty business model. All I did was write a scathing article about it in the Wall Street Journal, which I then reprinted and left under people’s windshields at the mall. Don’t kill the messenger, Facebook!

edit: he got it back

Facebook’s Pirate Speak

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

My roommate told me about this thing. Somebody or somebodies decided at Facebook to add another language to the setting choices: Pirate! Yes, now we all can swab our status messages when we want to change them. We can use a variety of Arrplications. We can read through our bottle o’ messages! GO TO HOME PORT. It’s in the beta version.

Here’s a capture of my profile to get an idea of the thing with a couple things highlighted in pink. You can click the picture to see the full size.
