I have been on Facebook…well, it seems like forever.
Yet it doesn’t really seem to know me.
To wit…
My late grandfather worked for Pepsi Cola for more than 30 years. I grew up on Pepsi — almost literally.
I have been a Pittsburgh Steeler fan since time immemorial. I mean, come on, Facebook, didn’t you read THIS?
Glenn Beck? I can’t believe five of my friends like this jerk-off.
Beck: It’s all right as a beer, but as a douche bag, it’s even better — or so I hear.
As if all that wasn’t enough to annoy me, Facebook wants me to like the most general things:
I want to know who hates music? Anyone? Anyone? Really? If you do, you might as well just go ahead and “defriend” yourself from my list of Facebook friends.
And then there’s this:
Not even a specific sport, just “Sports.”
I mean, I might could understand if you liked Huey Lewis’ album “Sports.” Might. Not that I’d agree with you, because like Bender, I don’t know if it would stand up to the test of time.
Of course, this post probably won’t even stand up to the test of time, with I’m guessing at least one of the above things fading before too long.
And no, I don’t think Coca Cola or the Cowboys or going anywhere, but I’m guessing someone else’s 15 minutes of fame are about up…
…you will never never know me, no, you won’t.
Not sure how you can disagree with almost NINE MILLION PEOPLE on the Coca Cola thing.
Nine Million.
But I prefer Pepsi, too…so, you know, our group has at least two people in it.
Hey, Lady Gaga has more than 10 million fans and I can disagree with them too. So there :P. Glad to know, though, there are at least two of us.
Facebooks stats are rather screwed-up (in my opinion). The recommended pages are often very generic or completely off base. What I find most humorous are the ads that appear on my wall.
I am always getting the “Go back to school and be something other than a housewife” ad even though I work full time and have two degrees.
Oh, I love the ads too. That’s a whole other post. I think I might have commented on it previously, but I’ll have to do it again. Great thing about Facebook: It never grows old to make fun of.
Only 6 of your friends like sports ?! That is awful !
And count me out of your stats because I ain’t your friend on F-book and neither are you mine – Kapish ?
I didn’t even think you were on Facebook…I mean, you were, sort of, but not really. Sort of like you have a blog, but you really don’t…at least not yet. Don’t worry, dude, I won’t count you in my stats until you get on the radar. :)
bwahahahaha…this is AWESOME!!! Love the Huey Lewis thing. Oh, and how is it that you keep getting a Dallas Cowboys recommendation? I am a fan of the Steelers, and I get recommendations for Troy’s, Hines’ page, and everyone else. Not the cowboys! (Thank goodness.) :-P
I wish I got a recommendation for Heinz. I love their ketchup.
Sheesh. Of course you like the Cowboys. They are America’s team.
Um, no, they’re not America’s team to me. The Yankees, though, are. :)
I never pay attention to the recommendations – this post makes me want to pay more attention just to see if I get any that off the mark.
I won’t lie. I never used to pay attention either until I didn’t have a Fireflox plugin that hid all the ads on the side. I think it’s time to bring that plugin: Adblocker Plus back.
And yes, I’m sure they will be that off the mark on yours too.
What a great idea for a post! *jealous* I’m not a huge fan of Facebook myself. Just seems like a waste of time to me. That’s why I spend my time blogging instead. Soooooo much more productive.
Well, I’ve given into the Evil Empire…because I do keep in contact with friends I might not have otherwise. 500 million users: you really can’t argue with that. I mean, yeah, you can argue with that, but I think you have to give in…I mean, Google, Facebook, Netflix: They rule the world. We might as well give in, I figure. Plus I’m sorry, but I love them, especially Netflix.
Like your views of the Universe. And anyone who also thinks Glenn Beck is a giant douchebag is a soulmate.
I won’t lie. I don’t usually get political here, but once in a while, as in Glenn Beck’s case, I can’t help myself.
I keep getting the Beck recommendation as well. It’s nauseating.
Oh, you don’t think of yourself as a loser and want to kill yourself? Hmmmm…well, I guess you got that going for you. :)
Ooops, I don’t know what drugs I was taking this morning when I responded to your comment. Yeah, that Beck is nauseating.
I, too, prefer Pepsi to Coke and 7-Up to Sprite.
And I actually know people who “just aren’t that into music.” I don’t understand this at all. True, they don’t say they “hate” music, but to not even have a favorite song? Favorite band? An opinion?
Maybe they need Facebook to recommend some good music.
FB invited me to join our public library. Really? My life has come to this?
Loved this post. Came over from Kiki’s place, figured if you’re there, then I have to be here.
Wow. Now that is sad about the public library. I work at a library and we haven’t gotten to FB yet, thank God.
And welcome…Do you have a blog? If not, that’s all right. I was just curious. It’s just interesting to see where people come from to visit my blog, even from Facebook. :)
