"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Better facebook than Bebo, which is a hotbed of school bullying and doesn't have any way for kids to protect themselves.

My 11 yr old niece has a Facebook page, and it was an invaluable help when I gift-shopped for her. All the adults in her life are her FB friends. What could happen? It takes a FB village.

can I take a moment to vent about Facebook martyrs? A co-worker's home was partially burned down last weekend, leaving her and her family basically homeless. A fellow coworker kindly offered her a place to stay while their home is being built. Since that time, at least twice daily, the kindly-samaritan-coworker has been updating her facebook status with little dropped hints about 'entertaining houseguests', and 'oh I'm so tired but at least I get to take care of the 'new family' staying with me' ...and everyone piles on and says "oh your so sweet, oh you're so nice" blah blah blah. Maybe it's the Australian in me but DO the nice thing, or DON'T do the nice thing. Just STOP BLOODY FISHING FOR BLOODY COMPLIMENTS YOU COMPLIMENT WHORE.

that is all.

yeah...

It's .. I dunno, now everyone is their own TV station, with more viewers each than the average non-mainstream Freeview box channel...

I'm more amazed this thread is only three years old! First few posts being "hey guys, this new thing" and "oh, I saw something about this" and "oh what is it?" and stuff...

What I hate is that Facebook statuses really show the divide between horribly jaded internet people who take nothing too seriously (maybe to everyone's detriment) and really naive and "not used to this whole internet thing!" types who aren't used to leg-pulling and detachment as a constant form of online communication.

I really like the description 'horribly jaded internet people who take nothing too seriously'

Yes it sounds good to me too.

because it describes ilx

yeah but it also describes a certain broader culture that ilx shares w/ a large % of the english-speaking internet. ilx didn't invent ironic jpgs.

Ah, but back in the day, people used to show each other ironic pictures cut from newspapers, on bus journeys...

mine is french for some reason

dope post, cunga

...before being clowned on Rate the people sitting across or next to you on public transport for doing so

xxp

I'm inclined to think most of the really bizarre ones are hacked accounts. Not to mention that we can see the "Delete" link on that one, which means that "Shawna" would have taken the screen capture. Takes all the fun out of legitimately bizarre//lame stuff.

Didn't 4chan set about hacking the accounts of a Christian mailing list they got the details to? A lot of them come from that, I think.

Facebook give up on my chances of another girlfriend any time soon:

You do know she can delete the comment, right?

but can she mod this thread?

Anyway, stunning level of maturity on display here.

mmmmm...

I don't know, just seems that a passive-aggressive Facebook comment doesn't exactly seem like the best way to address the situation.

This is horribly dickish but, like the Kanye comics, I just stumbled on it.

I'm not looking for internet trouble but when it comes I don't run.

if you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything

lol at alex in NYC making a pissy facebook comment when michael jackson died (something like "well I won't miss him") but dropping an RIP for swayze

He's an incredibly complicated guy, that Alex hailing from NYC.

Nobody understands him but his woman...

That's because (a) I was never a fan of Michael Jackson and (b) actually enjoyed the odd Patrick Swayze movie (namely "Red Dawn" and "Donnie Darko" ... if the latter can be referred to as a "Patrick Swayze movie.")

Michael Jackson meant nothing to me other than irritation.

UPDATE: http://i28.tinypic.com/x26xhh.jpg

just got back home, i've been on campus all day (midterm week :'(), and then at a friend's.

she defriended me on facebook. so i'm pretty sure she (and some others) saw it. i had checked facebook on my phone earlier, and after my post there were 2 other replies, one saying "ummm" and the other ignoring my post and congratulating her.

i'm going to bed, i have a mutual friend who i just txted to check up on her profile tomorrow morning.

i sent the message:

idk dude, you should probably talk to your gf about it not me. but trust me, it happened, i know the guy she did it with, and other people do too. when you were going home every weekend, she had sex in your guys' bed. if you dont believe me..tattoo. inner thigh.

i'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but i figured youd wanna know..

tattoo. inner thigh.

Wait so you're seeing all this unfold and you're not involved? How public is this shit going down?

The guy who's doing this is asking for help and posting the developments on a massive thread somewhere over the internet rainbow. Hundreds are watching it go down on there - he asked for advice and it naturally took this turn.

mental.

Hahaha thats awesome.

good god

Yes, "awesome" that this poor guy gets to find out his fiancee cheated on him via a Facebook comment. "Awesome" indeed.

tattoo. inner thigh.
