What the %&#$ is Wrong?

This is just dripping with sweet sweet irony.  Thank you Facebook.

Recently there has been a humongous amount of groups that have been making Facebook full of fail.  It’s starting to make Facebook a lower class of social networking that almost makes it feel like MySpace. It started to be cute with the “1,000,000 strong to blah blah blah” but it’s now becoming asinine.

Here are some groups that are absolutly full of fail:

Anything from “Spambook”

The asshole that started this webpage made it so you can mindlessly spam everyone on your friends list by simply going to his page a clicking the like button on one of his listed items. Someone that is a friend of mine joined the group that joined the “Count to 20000″ group and it took me 53 hits of the Page Down button to scroll past it. After looking at this guy’s twitter, he’s obviously just a /b/tard that is trying to do it for “the lulz”. What he doesn’t realize is that is he in in fact 100% full of fail. p

Any groups that offer you free game crap.

I don’t mind that you play the games on Facebook. I don’t mind that you occasionally post something on your wall about your accomplishments. What annoys me, is that you think it’s a great ideas to join stupid groups that try and promise you free crap for the games you are playing.  You are not going to get anything, there is no “hidden exploit” in the game, there is no secret items.  Just save yourself some face and quit joining these groups.

Groups that make you Like them to see what they are about.

A classic bait and switch. They make you like their page for you to see what you are liking, and as a result others that are friends of yours do the same. These groups are just plain annoying because you want to know what they contain, but you don’t want to click the damn like button to spam all of your friends with something stupid.

Here are some examples of some of these stupid groups:

Guaranteed – 9 in 10 people get hypnotized into sleeping after seeing this!!
PROVEN – Men are NOT able to see a TREE in this Illusion BUT ALL Women CAN!!

Groups about Facebook starting to charge to use it.

Facebook will never start charging to use the product…. never.  Even thinking that they might in the future is just stupid.  This is just carry-over crap from rumors that were on MySpace years ago about MySpace starting to charge for their services.  Anyone who joins these kind of groups or believes that it actually will happen needs their head examined…. seriously…

Some examples of stupidity:
Will myspace charge money for making accounts? – Yahoo Answers
We Will Not Pay To Use Facebook.Need As Many Members Possible To Stop This!

There can be a lot of fail in just one picture, and my local newspaper seemed to try and fail as much as they could with this one.

Here’s the graphic:

Now the fail:

The graphic was already a .jpg and ready for use at an appropriate size.  Instead, they took a screen capture of the opened file with the tooltip there from hovering the mouse on it, and then they cropped it down to a size which was very close to the same size that it already was.  After they did that work, they also failed at naming the file before putting it on their site, thompsonscott,jpg.jpg.

Here is a direct link to the fail.

Who would have ever thought that something written as an example of extreme satire by The Onion would ever come true?  I know I wouldn’t…

Today, an article on digg.com showed that a faith based group based out of New Mexico sent over 600 solar-powered audio Bibles to Haiti for the relief efforts.  Never mind that the survivors there need money, food, water, shelter, and medicine… Just send in the Bibles!  Not just any bible… A solar powered audio Bible geared towards the “poor and illiterate people.”

In the comments on digg.com was a link to The Onion, which was written back in 2006 titled, Poverty-Stricken Africans Receive Desperately Needed Bibles.  The satire is as thick as the onion could possibly make it, and readers back then probably thought, oh hell… the onion did it again, no one could EVER be this naive.  Well, humanity proved them wrong as anticipated.  I cringe as I wonder, what else will come true out of the onion?

wtf…

Here is yet another Facebook ad fail.

*shakes head* Kirk Skywalker would be disappointed.
