Facebook is shutting down?? Global panic! Slit your wrists! Murder your enemies and drink their blood! Rape, pillage and plunder like a Washington politician! All laws are dead! GOD HAS PUSHED THE BUTTON!!!
It was funny to read the story about Facebook shutting down on one of those alien-baby-with-three-heads Websites. Caught it while browsing for stories to drop my blog links on. It was quite well written, but patently bogus. Still, it did amuse me to think of millions of FB junkies ritualistically drowning themselves because life had lost all cyber meaning.
Makes old Nietzsche look a tad naive when he said "God is dead" -- he never envisioned the Internet. It's one thing to kill God, but bringing down the pillars of "social networking" is quite another. Poor brilliant bastard had no idea.
I've written about FB before. I don't hate the thing. I just think it's so chronically overused by so many people -- and has become a vomit receptacle for every little public and private detail of their lives -- that it isn't a healthy pit stop for everybody.
I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg just chuckled as he danced on his pile of money, dreaming up the next near-useless application of his exceptional intelligence (I'm being serious; not sarcastic).
Here's a subsequent article I found that explained the whole thing.
Maybe there's a Facebook-movie sequel in this. I might even audition for the part of the villain. The saboteur or assassin or macho fatale who brings the whole Facebook monolith to the rim of the toilet before a team of cyber nitwits saves the day and sends me packing back to my humble little blog.
Hmmm, I'm likin' it, baby. Hello to Hollywood!
Take care,
Adrian
