Too Good For Facebook Bullshit

Seriously? Quit Facebook? Will people ever stop being so dumb? If you don’t want anyone to know your personal information like your phone number or address then DON’T PUT THEM ON YOUR FACEBOOK. Don’t want people to know your relationship status or your sexual or political or religious orientation….wait for it….DON’T PUT THEM ON FACEBOOK.

And yes, anyone could call you and invite you to whatever event they’re planning because you’re too much of an elitest snob to be on FB. Really? You’re not that important and neither is your information. Instead you’re going to be That Guy who is too good for it? Nice. I can’t wait to be friends with YOU.

Facebook isn’t just about keeping in touch with old friends but about making new ones. Are you not into that either? Learning about new groups and businesses and PEOPLE. If you don’t want to be friends with the assholes from high school DON’T FRIEND THEM. See how simple that is? Hate your family? DON’T FRIEND THEM. Don’t like what someone is posting? Put them on IGNORE or DEFRIEND THEM. This ain’t rocket science, people.

I’m an actor and artistic type who is also a movie buff and a scifi nerd. Facebook helps me meet other actors and directors, other theatre and film companies, stay on top of great shows and be able to tell all of my friends about them all in one fell swoop. What the hell is so horrible about that? I’ve discovered great boutiques and artists, funny t-shirt companies, great geeky websites…what a horrible place Facebook must be! Damn you for all this wonderful information and the opportunity to meet people who like the same stuff as me! DAMN YOU!!!!

Not wanting a FB page says to me that you also obviously have nothing interesting to contribute to the world, either. No opinions on, well anything. No interest in sharing anything with anyone, not interested in knowing anything about anyone else’s lives. Exclaiming to the world that you’re too good for Facebook doesn’t make you look cool or hip or with it. It proves that you’re just an elitest snob who thinks far too much of yourself. You’re dangerously disproportionately self involved - pull your head out your ass.
