Where's the "Dislike" Button ?

How many times have you come across a retarded Facebook status and just wished there was a “dislike” button? If you’re anything like the pessimistic primate I am, then your answer is 20 times a day about 90% of the people.

I genuinely don’t give a shit that you’ve just eaten a taco or are about to take a shower, and I would like nothing more than to express that to you. But I came across something last week that really ticked me off.

A friend of mine posted a status update about his kid having surgery. Friends commented with prayers and sympathies but to my absolute surprise, 2 people “liked” it. Yes, you read that correctly. 2 PEOPLE LIKED IT. What the hell could you possibly like about a 4 year old kid having surgery?

Thankfully, someone finally beat Mark Zuckerberg to realizing the ever growing need for a “dislike” button. You can now download a Firefox plugin that allows you to dislike Facebook posts and statuses.

So go ahead, be cynical and disagreeable. After all, everyone loves a negative Nancy.

  3. Don't forget the annoying Facebook Apps, like Farmville.

    "You've just found a lonely cow and have given it a home on your farm"????

    Bullshit... should be "You've just found a lonely cow and invited your friends over for a steak dinner".

  4. ok then, it's settled.. public outcry over :D

    btw if that's how feel about facebook then It'd be interesting to hear your thoughts about twitter which is basically a glorified status box

  5. Twitter is very misunderstood, but that's a whole other blog on vanity and narcissism. It's a tough one to write about because I am guilty of some of the practices I criticize, so it would definitely bring out the hypocrite in me.

  6. oh come on! twitter is just too simple to be misunderstood.. nothing profound about "Kiki" telling her followers where she had lunch today or with whom or..my personal favorite.. to look out for the slutty nurse at tonight's party (the connection between Halloween & slutty outfits is a whole other story btw)

  7. Are you referring to my tweet about how Halloween is an excuse to be slutty or did someone else say that?

  8. didn't get around to following your tweets yet.. I'm actually referring to a twitter-hooked friend of mine however I do agree with your aforementioned tweet

  9. Women have it so easy on Halloween... take any outfit, any costume, any profession.... anything!

    Put the word "slutty" in front of it, and it all of a sudden becomes a perfectly acceptable costume idea.

    Guys actually have to be creative because, lets face it, no one wants to see a guy dressed as a slutty nurse.

  10. I saw a guy dressed as a slutty nun. That was wrong on so many levels.
