Facebook, bebo and pointless causes.

Terry

As an experiment, I just created a cause on facebook.
I sent a join request thingy to all my facebook friends (I do actually know 95% of these people personally) and I want to see how many will join up and how many will forward it on and so forth.
I said I'd donate one cent for every thousanth person who joins. That cent will be donated to my cent jar.
While setting up the cause, it asked me if I wanted to search for charities in Canada. ****ing Canada? WTF?
I didn't select any charities and nobody will be able to donate money.

For those of you who aren't bothered clicking links, the cause is to fight Super AIDS. It was just a term coined to identify a strain of the HIV virus (shut up) that originated in New York. It's the same as normal AIDS, but South Park made it funny.

Anyway, what make you of these causes?
I find them quite annoying really. It's really pointless. Me putting a red bow on my facebook page isn't going to cure anything.

I think Super Aids is the worst superpower ever and I'm not just sure about that I'm HIV positive.

Social networking is turning people into idiosyncratic self-important douchebags. I find this experiment both hilarious and interesting

Someone I don't know became the second member.
If it was one of you, thanks for making me laugh.

That's a hell of a lot of retards , perhaps hundreds of millions .

It's the click on and send a heart shaped flower/ check who might be in your family tree ( I have enough thanks ) / you might know this person ( no I dont ) /support this charity by clicking on ( the person only want to be seen to care when the probably dont give a fcuk ) / 6 people fancy you ( no they dont ,it's a subscription ) ......yeah lots of **** on these sites

Terry seems like a nice guy, but sadly directed buy a miss placed moral compass. Alcholism and dole issues.

Why would I angry the guy as you said?

Bebo, myspace, facebook are all a pile of wänk.

I'm not on the dole and I don't care who is. I have no idea where you got that impression.

Set your profile to private and you have nothing to worry about.

Maybe you should look into getting a job...

Terry

Maybe I'm going to work in about half an hour.

Blazer

Managing your facebook account is a full time job..i job some guys that regularly spend 2-3 hours a day on it..and these guys have kids/families.
If I log in about once every 2 weeks it's enough for me..basically to delete all that ****e like join this cause..some one poked you etc etc.
Time to delete it methinks..now there's a cause worth fighting for.

Facebook can kiss the back of me flaps.

Earthhorse

Hmmm, I would join only I'm against joining pointless Facebook causes, which I know is the point of your pointless Facebook cause, but I just can't handle that degree of irony or agreement. At least, not online.

Or can I?

Turd Ferguson

Screw that, Super AIDS is dead. Power AIDS is the new killer.
I'm gonna set up my own cause and get more people then you Terry.

PS: Bawkseeeee is our Queen!


EDIT: Actually I'm very lazy and rarely use facebook so I just joined this.

We're only a crowd at the moment. How many do you think it'll take to defeat this?

Joined it only 20 members so far.
