I think the worst for me are the painfully banal ones.

Worst sleep in a while [daughter] awake cos she couldn't get comfy then me awake from 4 with an annoying cough. Early night for me tonight x

This friend posts something like this about 5 times a day. If you had absolutely no life, why would you post about it on Facebook? Why does she think anyone needs to know this?

If their last game was mentioned on TV, what exactly do you think's the logic of it??? It'll get people talking about it & they'll find out...

Not that cryptic or difficult really

But... instead of mindlessly posting a colour or fruit or whatever as a status in a bid to "confuse men", why not post something along the lines of:

Posted yesterday by the main contributor of simply idiotic posts on my timeline. Post itself was grand, I commented with my sharp wit (referring to Good Friday, the feast day, haha - simple enough to grasp, yeah?)

She posts the second comment. I'm like what? Thing is, there isn't even a Friday the 13th in March, so I haven't a clue what she's on about. Don't want to hide her - some of the stuff is comedy gold. Gives me faith in myself that at least I'm not her...

"it's not technically Friday the 13th.."

Tbh I'd sooner get the Friday 13th reference when she said she's having a bad day as it's typically understood to be an unlucky calendar date.

Your "Good Friday" reference to the fact that it falls on March 29th this year would be the more obscure reference in this case, especially as we're only in January.

Oh I meant to post this the other day.

Friend of mine has a Facebook account for her 2 year old, his status the other day 'just did a big poo in me nappy, hate to be me ma changing me'

Christ, I need new Facebook friends

Time to look for New friends, I'd be thinking to myself at this stage.

A girl on my tb posted a photo of herself (in the typical fb pose of a 20 something girl) standing beside the The Famine Memorial statues on the Quays with the comment, "me and my anorexic friend".

No doubt she was deleted.

Yeah, I agree. And it's just not very funny. I'm with the friend on this one.

I'd accept that if her comment didn't appear to be in reply to my one; as a lone comment/in the original post, I can see it may have made sense, just not the way it's done here!

Fair enough about getting the less obscure one, though.

Yeah - I know a lot of people who would appreciate that kind of dark humour. I wouldn't post something like that on FB but it's better than 'just watched coronation st, goin to bed now xxxx'

Not bad. One of those girls who has 100's of pics of herself with the exact same pose in every photo. Very false and annoying.

It just seems stupid to go down this game route...

I don't mean to sound harsh or ignorant given the subject it's on but...

for a lot of people it'd just come up as another post & they'd gloss over it, both females and males.

using the game (not my or your word) it involves people more, females who'll interpret it as a kind of quasi-feminist/sister/girlies thing - so they'll post about it. Males they'll be asking the girls they know - 'whats these colours about?'

so the game aspect of it actually increases the awareness for the whole thing across both genders and got TV coverage the last time as result of it

breast cancer awareness week probably would've gotten TV coverage anyway but that's not the important part as the news coverage would've been glossed over in the same way your e.g. of a post would've been, what is important is the popularity it gained through the game on social media reaching far far more people than normally would've been aware to it - thus making that fact news worthy

I didn't mean to boil it down into some kind of marketing or whatever you want to view it as but in reality it's like John Hartson (ex footballer) being diagnosed with testicular cancer, he probably had a greater effect on male awareness of that issue than all the print adds, TV coverage, suffers/survivors on the late late/saturday night show ever had or ever will have - only exceptions to this is being directly effected by it (self, immediate family, close friend)

whether or not it's stupid, seems incomprehendable that this is more effective than the normal ways or someone loses faith in humanity (again) it is what it is

MrStuffins · 13-01-2013 03:57AM

That's a nice rosey interpretation of it.

But we all know the reality of it's a silly childish game invented by people who wish Bebo was still around.

Just as well these things really work. Remember when everyone changed their profile pictures to their favourite cartoon character?

Totally eradicated child abuse! HUZZZZAAAAAHHHH!!!!

it's not rosey as you put it, simple fact is, it reached more people than a boring post/statement ever would

as for the child abuse, well that would've been up to the child abusers to stop. I'm not sure but i think cancerous cells can't read, so they'll not stop because of it - i'll google it though

but if it i gets people talking talking about it/aware of it that's what matters

NegativeCreep · 13-01-2013 04:10AM

Surely everyone in the world knows about breast cancer by now. Research is what it needs, not awareness!

awareness in the sense to maybe have a check up, not that it actually exists

Your logic is flawed. Like the people who say particular websites should be shut down to stop cyber bullying.

"Well, less people would be getting bullied that way"

and/or

"At least doing something is better than doing nothing"

Or the types who say "Any publicity is good publicity"

Tell that to Gary Glitter.

as for the child abuse, well that would've been up to the child abusers to stop. I'm not sure but i think cancerous cells can't read, so they'll not stop because of it - i'll google it though

Wait, is this true? Then why did people want Facebookers to change their profile pictures? Surely it did SOMETHING though no?

but if it i gets people talking talking about it/aware of it that's what matters

More than research? I don't think so! There are FAR more effective ways of battling Breast Cancer than playing a silly childish Facebook game which the point of is to actually NOT talk about that or any subject!
