the like button


I hate facebook with everything i have yet i am obsessed with it.

which leads me to think why on earth they are insistant on making it worse for me. Its filled with people like me who spend there time at home on facebook instead of doing something, which means its impossible to start a good conversation with them.

So you find yourself "liking" pages that your freinds have also "liked". Theres cute little lovey pages for the girls to waste there time on HOPING that the right boy will take pity on them enough to go out with them (if they notice that they liked the page), then theres the downright funny ones which recreate real life situations that everyone "likes" because they assume that just because they have been in the same situation before they must therefore "like" it.

All these problems never occured back in the old school days of "becoma a fan" but then again they had there own problems with the unstoppable surveys and popups that for some reason EVERYONE USED. but hey good old facebook got rid of that problem with the "like" button......

oh yeh the surveys are still here, and thats right there not even surveys, if you were yelling at the screen for long enough to notice they arnt even surveys.

there prize draws and advertisements in my book thats not even a survey unless filling out your personal details is classed as a survey. NOT ONLY THAT but they have the cheek of calling them a short FREE survey. there about as free as a terrorist at guantamino bay.

So here we are on facebook with noone to talk to, countless farmville requests and mafia wars notifications and when we see a page we want to like we find ourselves on another website filling out a free survey which turns out not to be a survey but a conjob completely unrelated to the original thing we liked. we shut the page down go back to facebook to see that all of your freinds have seen what you have "liked" and have also gone through the same process. i dont know who invented this idea but they need to be linched

but if you are lucky enough to miss this horrible turn of events and you find yourself on a reasonably ok looking page that shows you what lady gaga looked like before she whent gaga you may also notice this huge misunderstanding that has also gripped facebook

"like this page to continue"
forgive me for being the most simple person on the planet but i thought that in order to "like" said picture of lady gaga i need to see it first in order to like it?

thats like saying that i like avocado...... i have never touched an avocado or tasted it and from the pictures ive seen it doesnt exactly look amazing so how can i possibly like the dam fruit???????

and then if thats not enough to drive me insane, yes theres more, they then ask you to suggest the page to all my freinds as well BEFORE I KNOW WHAT IT IS IM LIKING.

so imagine me and my avocado again for a minute ive stated that i like it when ive never tasted it and now im going to all my freinds that they should try it..... THATS MADNESS.

facebook the worst form of life deprivement there is yet i know that as soon as ive typed this up i shall be back on it. God help us all
