Has anybody else noticed that every single news headline or shared link you see on Facebook these days says something along the lines of:

"This is the most amazing photo you will see today"

"What this man did will change the way you live your life forever"

"You will not believe what this girl did next"

"Nothing will prepare you for the awesomeness of this gesture"

I don't want to be told what to think, expect, or how to feel, I want to read an article and make my own mind up (which I do anyway.) It really hacks me off that morons seem to unwittingly get sucked in to ways of phrasing things just because they see everybody else do it. It's a bit like everybody starting every sentence with "that awkward moment when..." last year.
 
Social networks are evil... :whistle:
 
Well up to now, you're post IS the most amazing thing I've seen today, but I haven't been up long, that may change later in the day after I've seen some more things :)

that moment when you realize life is so much better when you STOP worrying (and/or caring) about what everyone else is doing...
 
My mother called me morbid and often you will find her buying these trash magazines with titles like '2 weeks left to live and my husband left me for my sister!' or 'Car crash survivor sleeps with his wifes ashes, even though he is re-married'

It usually had Cancer, Baby, -- day's left to live. so you could make your own bullshit, shock story generator to attract morbid folks in the supermarket. generally i stay away from any and all outlets of media and follow Noam Chomsky's recommended course of action. but that's irrelevant to the post so i will leave it at what i said. lol
 
A large proportion of these posts are down to a site called Upworthy.com, it's basically just clickbait. If everyone on Facebook installed Adblock, these sites would disappear.
 
Dang you got me :picard:

But i was sceptical all along as i read the title ;)

Btw: Who dosend has failbook dont has These problems
 
I must admit I was expecting an ultra rare, super hot-rodded computer that cooked breakfast washed the pots and everything else besides.

I should have know better:picard

:lol:
 
Haha, exactly my point. Most photos with such titles are of dogs, and most news stories with such titles are about events as earth-shattering as somebody giving to charity. I don't have a problem with Facebook, or the stories themselves, it's the idiotic journalists that title them like this.

Calling Facebook users "journalists" is probably the biggest insult to journalists that one could make.

Facebook is little more than a group therapy sesson. Usually for people addicted to flash games, and the even more insane serial complainers.

Facebook ads = spam or fraud attempt, then people get in on it themselves with chain letters and work from home BS.

Little wonder a few people I know dub it Faecesbook, as just about everything is cow dung.
