Facebook's Excuse: It's a Halloween Thing?

Nov 1, 2009

By Ken.

Facebook just suggested that I "poke" a high school classmate.

This particular high school classmate died tragically young this summer of cancer.

Facebook is also suggesting, in so many words, that I make suggestions to help make certain friends' profile pages less lame.

Facebook is kind of a dick, isn't it?

Agreed.

"Write on [so-and-so's] wall." "Poke [so-and-so]". I don't get why someone thought this was a good idea. The fact that Facebook tried to get you to reconnect with a dead friend is even more disturbing. I don't get why they couldn't have just left well enough alone.

Facebook has been suggesting that a friend of mine doesn't have enough friends and I should help him find more. But he has *twice* the number of friends I do.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, FACEBOOK?! YOU THINK I CAN'T TAKE A GOD DAMNED HINT!? I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH WHO I AM!
