| the thing called Facebook |
I think its high time I talked about the web phenomenon called Facebook.
NOOoooooooOOOoooo! I have not joined the online social networking program and I must say I must be one of the few people that I know who have yet to join this... thing that's been controlling the lives of SO MANY people. That said, DO NOT try to convert me into joining Facebook! I will not waver in my determination to not get ensnared by this insidious, brain washing virus that has plagued the world! I WILL NOT SURRENDER MY INDIVIDUALITY, FREEDOM AND SANITY TO IT! DUMBLEDORE RULES!
I wanted to blog about Facebook (and its corrupting influence on society) on Monday, when my study session at Gladys' place fell to pieces because we were partly too lazy to do any mugging, and also because the girls were trying to lure me into joining Facebook by showing me all the 'wonderfully fun' things that you could do on it.
From throwing chickens and sheep at people (why, on earth would you want to do that in the first place? Why?!?!), to casting spells like Aguamenti and watching your friends respond in similar fashion; from joining groups with weird names and even weirder contents, to meeting people over the pages of history (and from all walks of life!)
It is obvious that I wasn't impressed with their little sales pitch, although I must admit, the Harry Potter Application does have some amount of pulling power, only because I am really interested to see which House the 'Sorting Hat' would place me in. (If the Harry Potter application allowed me to cast 'Avada Kedavra' at people - and therefore effectively ban them from using Facebook ever again - I would join the group immediately, NO QUESTIONS ASKED.)
I must say Facebook burns the time of University students, causing them to leave their books untouched and unread. It is EVIL and therefore, must be eradicated!
Worrying though it may be, I had only expected University Students to be enraptured by this insidious threat to humanity. To my utter amazement, I have discovered that NSFs are also victims of this horrible mind-controlling disease as well!
Today, while eating dinner with 4 of my army friends, I have come across worrying evidence, that my army friends are also being BRAIN-WASHED and CONTROLLED by FACEBOOK AS WELL! THE HORROR!
Threats of "leaving messages on each others' walls", of "superpoking each other" and of "throwing sheep" at each other peppered their otherwise sane conversations. I immediately expressed my concern for this worrying fixation with a computer program that seems to have no real purpose at all - apart from throwing animals at your friends and laughing your hearts out after doing it.
It is an ADDICTION that must be stopped, or else, the nation will be reduced to a population of mindless zombies who look forward to nothing in life but superpoking each other to oblivion!
Productivity will fall! Economic growth will crumble! Our defences laid bare! Our roads and highways will be devoid of cars! Our society bland and activity-less! Our city empty and abandoned! SINGAPORE WILL BE DOOMED!
I urge all my fellow friends who have yet to fall victim to this ever present, and ever growing threat - STAND YOUR GROUND and do not falter! DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE MADNESS THAT IS FACEBOOK! IT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A DARK PLOT TO TAKE OVER THE MINDS OF OUR BRIGHTEST AND FINEST PEOPLE! FIGHT BRAVELY YOUNG WARRIORS AND ONE DAY, WE WILL LIBERATE OUR FELLOWS FROM THE VIRUS' HOLD! FOR DUMBLEDORE AND VOLDEMORT! WE RULE!
And now, to kill some Protoss and feast on Terran blood. Excuse me while I waste my brain away on Starcraft. Hehe.Labels: madness |
