Facebook, bebo and pointless causes.

Terry · 24-03-2009 11:52PM #1

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.

South Park ep.

Ah Bebo/Facebook/Myspace the opiate of the retards.

(P.S South Park kicks all ass)

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

Terry · 24-03-2009 11:58PM

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?

Abi · 25-03-2009 12:21AM

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.
I am an alcoholic though. A functioning one at the moment, but still an alcoholic.

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

I think I set mine to private. I'm almost sure I did anyway.
