Annoying Facebook Groups

DiggThis

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!

The amazing thing is, it’s not just a few people joining these groups, it’s 10′s or 100′s of thousands of people joining these groups to spread stupidity across Facebook. If anyone reading these joins any of the groups in this article, please do us all a favor and quit Facebook as soon as possible.

Ad Fail – Talking Points Memo

DiggThis

When you are a mainstream political blog that gets a lot of daily traffic, you would think that you would keep better control of your ads and be mindful of what might come up when you post words such as “porn”.  Well, the political blog, Talking Points Memo, just spewed fail all over the place when they decided to do an article about a recent bill that had a revision about government employees being able to watch porn in it.

The keywords in the article triggered predictads.com to display some links to porn in the lower ad bar on their site.

Hopefully TPM cleans up their ad services in the future, because this is not appropriate for a main stream blog such as this one.

Internet Censorship – Australia

DiggThis

Anonymous is back.

They are back, and they are taking on the Australian government.

The government of Australia has set forth in it’s plan to censor the internet and ban certain kinds of porn such as porn with small breasted women, because the person watching could think that the actress is under 18. (source)  They have also banned the use of cartoon pornography as well as female ejaculation.

Of course the Australian Government has sent a release stating otherwise… (link)

So, Anonymous has responded on YouTube as well as an open letter to the public


Along with this announcement, Operation Titstorm has started.

The attack is a 3 tiered attack of email, fax, and DDOS attacks.  Of course, the main sites being attacked are the main governmental site as well as the site of the guy that started it all, Senator Stephen Conroy. The attack is gaining a lot of press, and is gaining speed fast.

Let this be a lesson to the people that are fighting against Net Neutrality in this country.  This is what could happen to us if the internet is not promised to be free and open.

Keep up the good fight Anonymous.. Keep up the good fight.

Facebook Bra Colors Gone Viral – Wtf?

DiggThis

So, you’ve noticed that women have been updating their status with just one word, a color.  Why?  It is for breast cancer awareness, but they aren’t telling you that.

As one blogger put it on NPR, it’s slacktivism at it’s finest.  Have you learned anything more about breast cancer?  Have you shared a story about how breast cancer has affected you?  Have you learned how to fight against breast cancer?  No!  You just know the bra colors of women on your friend’s list, and are leaving people in the dust about what you are talking about.

It could be that people are a little late in noticing that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  January is Cervical Health Awareness Month, so expect another viral surge 3 months from now in the form of colors of underwear.

As a recognition of prostate/testicle cancer, blue.  Oh, and you can go here to learn more about it.
