OK, back on topic:

Facebook has created an entire new genre of pet peeves.  It's all those stupid placards people inexplicably share.  I'm talking about these:

  • inane word games like "name a word that starts with A and ends with E" that are purported to be hard, when actually they are obviously just designed to make you think you're some kind of genius when you answer it in 2 seconds.
  • placards with "wise" or "motivational" sayings that we're supposed to "like", such as "There is nothing more unconditional than my love for my children -- like if you love your children too".
  • Ridiculous puzzles with supposedly insightful answers - such as "90% of the people see the same word first"... then, judging by the responses, it's clearly not the case.  Or for that matter, SO WHAT?
  • Anti-Obama (or insert the latest politician-du-jeur) placards that contain no information, just some inflamatory slogan or empty rhetoric.


I've started un-following every friend that posts these things.  They are nothing but a waste of time.  If you're going to post something, use your mind and post something original or informative.  Vet what you "share".
