“I would rather have a prostate exam on live television by a guy with very cold hands than have a Facebook page”.

– George Clooney on his hatred of social networking.

I’ve definitely heard other people have the same views on Facebook, but I don’t get it.  Personally, I love being able to catch up with the BFF I haven’t seen since seventh grade and seeing just how many bitches from high school are now absolute train wrecks.  What about you guys?  Is Facebook a good time, or would you rather drop your pants alongside George?

  • No, FB is not a bad time unless you’ve got a sh1t load of hick brothers- and sisters- and mother-in law like I do. Then, FB is a drag because you can’t just be your awesome liberal self without them hacking on and judging you.

    • “awesome liberal self” = (1) thinks it’s a right to kill babies, but against the death penalty (2) doesn’t believe in God, but believes feng shui is a life changer (3) believes man-made carbon dioxide is killing the polar bears, but doesn’t know that carbon only makes up 0.039 percent of the atmosphere – voted for hope and change and got more of the same old shit.

      Sucks to be you dumpster juice.

      • ur an idiot. carbon dioxide doesn’t kill polar bears. it raises the temperature which melts the arctic ice so the polar bears drown. and since when do liberals not believe in God? if u believe in God then why are u such an asshole?

      • Sorry jizz crust, you just made my point about carbon. If you REALLY believed in God you would be on my side. Enjoy your eternal damnation, dog shit.

  • There’s no doubt that FB can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. However, one can create their own hell with it if it’s not used wisely. It’s kind of fun and helpful in many ways. However, if one uses it to smack talk about and to other people or post way too much personal info about him/herself, there can definitely be repercussions. And call me a chauvinistic, misogynistic pig if you like, but it seems like the majority of people I’ve hear about who have the most problems with Facebook are girls and women, usually due to participating in some catty, spiteful, or backstabbing bullshit drama-queen behavior that chicks have become so well known for.

  • I like facebook, but I think it’s because I’m not obsessed with it and don’t go on 5 times a day. I go on about once every couple of days and it’s fun..I don’t get all the games and “applications” and stuff..seems like a waste of time.

    This is a funny video about why facebook is so annoying http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVA047JAQsk

    • You know what else is a waste of time? Searching zillions of youtube videos for facebook parodies.

  • I LOVE Facebook, but at the same time I thank God for the privacy options… nobody who looks for me can find me unless we have a friend in common, and only 10 people can see my photos. My family added me but they just can see my current location and relationship status. I think all this hatred and fear of social networks is just people who don’t know how to use the privacy options.

  • I don’t think his disliking facebook is because of his misunderstanding of “privacy settings”. i’m with george on this one. I don’t like watching people ruin perfectly good moments to Twitter about them or update their Facebook status. just let it be! I do not like how everything needs to be filtered through social networking sites first. i don’t get totally strung up about it, i just refuse to use them – and i am constantly reminded of this, too. i have not dropped off of the face of the planet, guys, just because i do not have a Facebook.

    • That’s silly – you make your own Facebook. I never tweet or update my status about stuff going on in my life that’s remotely important, therefore I’ve never ruined any moment.

  • I don’t have prostate, but I’m not a huge fan of facebook either.

    For me, it was awkward more than anything else when talking to high school ex-friends. And school reunion = fun, but awkward. Exchange emails and stuff, right, see ya in 10 other years! If we didn’t keep contact in 10 years, it was maybe for a reason… I never like MSN, ICQ, Facebook, Twitter… But I use FB to give links of stuff I find on the web, personnal pictures, to my current friends, family. I’m more a telephone girl anyway, or better, see people in real.
