Seriously. Its one thing with how much time people spend on that site but its on a whole other level when I have to endure the countless invitations to join POKE PRO, SUPER WALL, FUN WALL (aren’t they the same thing?)FLIRTATIOUS, etc etc. Seriously, having to tolerate application after application is comparable to everyone having to read blog after blog. But why am I the only one that thinks these applications are for the most part pointless, how the hell am I supposed to stalk someone professionally when all I see on a page is SPAM…christ its harder finding someones pictures on Facebook then it is navigating through a porn site. Are you like me? Oh wait isnt that a facebook app?

It seems theres an application for everything. I dont have any gripes with Facebook aside from the fact of how easy it is to gain some personal information on someone. Hey this person lives there…whats that, there going on vacation? Perfect, I needed a new T.V. and underwear. It’s pretty amazing how everyone will post the utmost detail of whats happening in there lives on facebook. You’re taking a dump? Thats fantastic. I read you’re using two ply toilet paper as well.

Not only will people post anything and everything the best part is whatever you write people believe it. Case in point my weekly birthdays. I think everyone has caught on by now but it took some of you a little while before you realized I was having a birthday every Friday the past couple months, hell I even managed to catch a bunch of you wishing me happy birthday a couple weeks after you already had. Then of course we have the mysterious congratulations for my sister my brother and I started a couple of weeks ago…SHE’s GETTING MARRIED? Suckers!

But all thats in good humour, the applications are completely ridiculous. Let’s see here.

SUPERPOKE: Is it that necessary to spam emote someone, why dont you go bitch slap them in public, it would be a lot more entertaining.

SUPERWALL/FUNWALL: Same shit, different pile. Does the original wall suck so bad that you need duplicates? Then of course everyone on there is posting the same old crap people have been seeing in emails since the birth of the internet. I get it, a fat girl on a bike is funny.

FLIRTATIOUS: Hey baby, Im getting flirty with you on facebook, wanna cyber?

NAUGHTY GIFTS: Oh look! It’s an avatar of a plastic blow up doll. HEE-larious…..[borat]NOT![/borat]

ENTOURAGE: Is it that necessary to have a big fat blob of your friends list in the middle of your page? All it does is delay me from clicking your friends list with more scrolling. I need addresses to stalk people, not profile pictures.

LOLCats: Pictures of Cats doing stupid things…aren’t cats stupid to begin with?

BUMPERSTICKERS: Honk if you love my jesus (any Beaverlodge people remember this one). I cant remember the last time I seen a bumpersticker (aside from the massive amount of r-tarded window decals in Alberta) so why would I want to look at one on Facebook.

WHATS MY (STRIPPER/PIMP/PIRATE/PORNSTAR) NAME: Idiot.

HOW SEXY IS MY NAME: Its not your name that makes you sexy, its your physique…write that down.

The list could go on forever and its not going to stop anytime soon with the steady rise in popularity Facebook is receiving. MySpace was the same way and now its a cesspool full of spam and confusing custom layouts. At some point Facebook (if it hasnt already through an app) will do something similar. To tell you the truth though with applications blasted all over someones page it feels like MySpace just a lot less purty…at least MySpace played music.

Remember kids

Posted items/notes are cool, pointless spam and moods are not.
