Dear FaceBook Users
Get the fuck over it.
No seriously, stop.
Do you need to hear it again?
Get the fuck over it.
If you’ve spent anytime on FaceBook over the past month you probably know what I’m talking about. The big drama of the “New FaceBook”. FaceBook had the audacity, the outrageous audacity I’m telling you, to change the look of their site. And people are flipping their shit.
There are over 2 MILLION people signed on for the top “how dare FaceBook change the layout” group. Now some would say this is a fantastic example of social proof and The Powers That Be of FaceBook should change the site back. At least that’s what the people joining these groups think. I say it’s a perfect example of the superficial bullshit “me, me, me” culture.
Top “let’s end poverty” group? 110,000. Top “cancer sucks” group? 1 million. Barack Obama? 705,000. John McCain? 58,000.
FaceBook layouts; more important that the president of the United States, cancer and poverty. Just warms the heart doesn’t it. Don’t even get me started on AIDS or peace.
So next time you feel like bitching about a redesign on a website, stop, and do realize that you’re on a bloody website! Then here I had a great little comment about actually making a difference in your life around you, like raising money for a cause, training for a marathon, or reconnecting with your loved ones. Then I realized that was far too much to ask of people who freak out over a web application.
