Lucky for me, I have very few to no people on Facebook who mindlessly post status messages and replies to statues filled with ignorance, drama, and just good old-fashioned retardation. That's typically reserved for MySpace. Lamebook archives the ever-growing collection of stupidity--lame shit--on Facebook. Prowler recommends!
Facebook and Chat: Or New Ways to Stalk posted by Prowler at April 24, 2008, 09:44:48 PM
Hooray, looks like Facebook has added yet another feature for people to complain about on the surface but use and abuse as much as possible at any given opportunity--chat.
If you want to go through and harass that girl from high school that you had a crush on and probably knew, which is why she completely avoided you and felt just sorry enough to add you to facebook, you should at least do it in style. Below is a list of smilies that will aid your stalking quest (shamelessly cribbed from http://www.djod.co.uk/2008/04/23/facebook-chat-emoticons-emotes-and-smilies/):
NY Mets get 'Rickrolled,' Fark.com readers laugh, We Cry. posted by Prowler at April 09, 2008, 02:28:17 PM
Leave it to Fark and 4chan to run shit into the ground so much that it winds up in China. Fark.com users, according to the New York Daily News, rushed a poll attempting to replace "Sweet Caroline" as the stadium's eighth inning song with write in votes for Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
It won.
Hey, Fark.com readers: the rest of the internet stopped finding rickrolling funny last year. When the site used for rickrolling gets in on the joke, IT ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE. When the artist catches on and responds directly about rickrolling and is in on the joke, IT ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE. This wasn't even a rickroll.
Oh and the headline for that article is pretty bad.
I'll admit, I laughed when I saw the accompanying video, if only because everyone in the stadium boos.

We all know how much CAD sucks. It's so bad that the term "buckley box" has been coined to describe the extraneous fourth panel that over-explains the already terrible joke, among other things. But this...this is just sad.
We've all been witness to the standard evolution of terrible shows and writing teams that refuse to go away. They'll change settings, characters, or completely rewrite the premise of the show with it still being the poorly written, boring piece of crap that manages to get funding from some crazy fans. When you run out of ideas, go into space. Josie and the Pussy Cats...IN OUTER SPACE! Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers...IN SPACE. Leprechaun.. IN SPACE.
And now... CAD in SPACE! COMPLETE WITH CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BASED ON VOTING!
He's gotta be kidding us if he expects us to believe that over 40k people voted for that bullshit.
MySpace trying to suck less? posted by Prowler at April 02, 2008, 11:43:09 PM
There's no way around it. MySpace sucks hard. They streamlined the registration process so well that bots flood nearly every aspect of the stupid social networking site. Someone explain to me when I accidentally put in the wrong username and password, it says, "You must be logged in to do that"? That's some lazy ass programming. For site apparently worth over a billion, you'd think they'd fix shit like this.
Well, looks like they're at least trying. In recent months they've added a feature to require people to use image authentication when sending messages and friend requests to you. That's right, little to no more requests from Sandi and Sherri and some guy who owns a mortgage management company.
They've even improved the interface in the home screen--in recent weeks adding in a Friend Subscription module so you can see what actions your friends have recently taken, as well as a friend status, so you can see what your friends have set their status to.
Apparently the business plan for MySpace recently has been "copy Facebook."
Too bad 14 year old emo kids are still flooding their pages with 20 autoloading audio and video clips.
