This post is not about what to do or what not to do in Facebook. This post is not about "any" type of disease that may come with facebook. This post is completely dedicated to special guys whom i will call hereby as "Facebook Idiots".
You may have encountered this scene a few years back . In a busy market area, a poor lady will be standing on the street and distributing pamphlets. The paper will proclaim that there is some organisation collecting money for poor children and if you don't donate money or don't forward the pamphlet to ten people, you will die instantly. A guy named X did the same and died of blood vomit, it will add. Most people on the street won't collect that pamphlet.I was curious enough to collect it and keep it and try what happens. But i didn't get that chance.
If you are wondering what is the relevance between the above useless story and facebook. Well, both are same. A post will declare the following "There is a girl who is from tirunelveli and who beat Einstein in IQ. Since she is from poor tamil nadu, the world is ignoring her. Please share this and help her."
The number of times this post is shared is equal to the number of idiots you have on your friends list.
Everybody might have heard of FIFA world cup.Have you ever heard of VIVA world cup? Yes, there is a VIVA world cup happening in 2014 and LTTE team is participating in the world cup. I am not lying. that's what my facebook post says and lot of people like that world cup too. I guess, the winners might get one VIVA bottle for free! There are 2k likes and 500 shares for this photo.
Another major irritant on facebook is the "advices" post. An advice post typically starts like this - "A successful man is one who..." and there will be some attractive photo below that advice.If you ask, do sharing these posts a criminal offence or do they warrant such criticism? These posts are fine as long as you are in teen age for they can be forgiven and time will teach them everything . However, a 25+ year full-grown adult sharing this posts beginning with "வாழ்க்கைனா (life is a .. ) purely irritates me .
Life has indeed become a full circle from the streetside women distributing pamphlets to spam forward mails to the "great mokkai" facebook posts.
There are many more such categories and a single blog may not be enough to list them. If you have any specific category, list it in the comments section!
