So much hate on this thread haha, why does it bother yous so much?

A Scoundrel

Anyone else have their facebook feed clogged up with this necknominate sh1t?

It started out pretty funny. A challenge is put down, for one person (ideally in an unlikely situation, like riding a horse) to neck two pints or alternative alcoholic drinks, then pass on the challenge, all the while being recorded before being posted online. I'll admit it, I think it was mildly entertaining.

Now the craze has gone viral, and turned into a spate of pathetic 19 year olds (often shirtless.... why????) necking pints on facebook, thinking it still hilarious.

The joke is over, it's stopped being funny.

Are you an online necker? Are you fed up with online neckers?

I was going to ask this earlier but forgot, I had no idea what it was. Anyone I see doing it from now on shall be deleted from my Facebook.

I tried that. The problem is even normal, grown up, non-participants can still appear in tags, or you can be tagged yourself.

Delete Facebook, then register on Instagram.

we get it, some people don't use facebook.

lets pre-empt this by saying, well done you.

for some of us, facebook is just a handy way of keeping in contact with others, whether we're busy or just far away, and would rather not delete it.

Dude, if that's the best thing you ever did you really gotta do more things.

Facebook is where civilization and intelligence goes to die.

I love how riled up people get when you say you don't have Facebook, it's nearly a sport in itself

Facebook is in a terrible state nowadays and I have a million other ways to keep in touch online.

Nothing. This is the latest stupid Faeces-book craze, started by Australian layabouts with the intelligence of cheese. It is "Duckface" for Bogans.

Is it just me or is anyone else having a serious case of déjà vu?

Like my French? Ou la la laa

As I said in the thread created earlier, it's just the latest in a long-line of fads in the all-encompassing world of social media.

First there was "planking", then came along the painfully uncreative Harlem Shake. Most recently the word "selfie" has become part of the everyday lexicon, and now it's neknomination.

Here's hoping that the next trend on social media outlets is the proper use of grammar!

Anybody stupid enough to do that and post it up should never be given a job ever, Australia beckons for these brainless sheep......

Clearly you guys haven't been nominated yet. Don't worry, It's mathematically sound that you will eventually.

Selfie, how is that even a thing? You'd swear nobody ever took a picture of themselves before. How dumb and uncultured do you have to be to think that taking a picture of yourself is something new or unique or even worth jumping on a bandwagon for?

I'd expect to see flying monkeys before I see that happen.

It's a little ironic that when confronted with a deluge of annoying posts in their facebook feeds, people then create a deluge of annoying threads about it here.

Kaizersoze81

agreed. How many threads do we need on this. This is at least the 3rd in the last week.
I deleted facebook so I wouldn t have to see that crap, and now its spreading to boards.

Boobs you say?

Hmm, And where can i find this, 'instagram' you speak of?

I love the way these threads are always full of the cool dudes with thousands of posts on a message board telling us how uncool Facebook is. If Facebook annoys you its because your friends are annoying or you have no friends

Not nearly as cool as you though. I want to be your best friend. Add me on facebook and we'll chat.

My friends are fine, it's what they use that's the problem. Not gonna turn this into a 'why Facebook is damning' thing though.
