Facebook Update In Real Life

May 122013

Back when Facebook first went mainstream, countless videos appeared poking fun at the annoying parts of the social network.

Though spoofing Facebook in real life has fallen out of vogue, Extremely Decent Films is bringing the trend back. Everyone hates when Facebook all too often updates its user interface and privacy settings.

But imagine how bad it’s going to be when Facebook grows past the web and takes over our real lives? A Facebook update in real life sounds terrible.

Facebook Focus Group: Where Facebook Gets All Their Terrible Ideas

Jan 242013

With over one billion users, Facebook is, of course, the most popular social network in the world. Naturally, that territory comes with more than just a few gripes.

Interestingly enough, countless users share similar complaints with the social network, yet it seems FB only continues to add more obnoxious options, while changing the few parts of the site people are actually satisfied with.

Sketch comedy group UCB Comedy noticed this trend, and made this parody of what a focus group at Facebook might look like, titled Facebook Focus Group: Where Facebook Gets its Ideas.

Amanda Todd Canadian Teen Publishes Note Card Story Before Committing Suicide From Bullying

Oct 152012

Terrifyingly, it seems the “post an emotional note card video before committing suicide as a result of bullying” trend is continuing.

Amanda Todd was a normal, bright and bubbly fifteen year old Canadian girl who enjoyed meeting new people online. Sadly, using bad judgement, she shared a revealing photo of herself with one of her new online ‘friends’. That was the beginning of the end.

The person spread her revealing photo across the web, and soon her entire school was harassing and bullying her. When the bullying continued even after changing schools, Amanda couldn’t take it any more.

On October 10, 2012, Amanda posted this powerful and chillling note card video before committing suicide.

The sad story is featured on VancouverSun, Examiner, and NationalPost.
