The Internet is a scary place...

[Baal]

Recently I've become a facebook user, for many reasons, partly being I have jobs that involve a lot of Internet trolling on the off-periods when I'm not doing anything. So this morning I'm looking at a friend's profile page and I see THIS posted on her wall

To summarize exactly what you're seeing; this is a screenshot of someone's wall on facebook. A place where people can talk to you directly, but publicly, on your profile page. This person posted THIS on a public page of my friend's profile. This is very similar to a chain e-mail you would get in your inbox, except it's public, and I've never seen a chain e-mail this weird to be honest.

I'm like, what the hell is this. Is this what happens when normal people are exposed to the Internet? I like this place because, for the most part, it feels like veteran Internet users who can actually communicate effectively using the English language, and we're not infected with this plague.

I'm not really bashing facebook, it's a great tool no doubt, but honestly...do people think it's ok to act like that in any scenario? Facebook seems more formal too, it's not like that was posted on some random Internet forum, someone's private e-mail or even myspace...jesus christ, people have relatives on their facebook. I wouldn't want anyone posting that on my wall.

For those who don't use facebook, the link below is to my profile. The bottom part is the "wall" section I'm refering to, and anyone can see it. You can have privacy settings such as only your friends can see your profile and stuff though.

Reminds me of those comments you see on YouTube. "If you read this you are cursed, copy and paste this to 10 other videos on YouTube to undo the curse!!!1"

 

[Baal]

It is very similar to those yes, only more personal and WEIRD.

 

[CyberPitz]

Yeah, those chain letter things are retarded, especially when they try to be funny, but FAIL.

 

[Seppo]

Damn that's stupid.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Reply with the "poop back and forth forever" thing

 

[Baal]

I don't want to start a fight on my friend's wall :|

 

[Asus]

Reply with the "poop back and forth forever" thing

That would be intersting. lol

 

[Jintor]

That's a pretty bad varient.

 

[Krynn72]

You should see the retarded shit Willie posts on mine.


Also, if you dont like these, then you need to stay the **** away from myspace. These and those ****ing surveys that cyberpitz always does get posted 17 thousand times a minute there.

EDIT: Oh, and gordanfreeman911 posts retarded stuff on my wall too. Didnt want to leave him out.


But then again, the reason why I have a facebook thing is so that people can message me with hilarious/confusing/offense comments. SO BRING IT ON!

Reminds me of those comments you see on YouTube. "If you read this you are cursed, copy and paste this to 10 other videos on YouTube to undo the curse!!!1"

The best one of those I saw consisted of 'Upon reading this, you have Parkinson's.'

 

[Azner]

i got that in an email. I just replied all **** you.

 

[AzzMan]

whats wrong with those? i hate facebook cause i cant goatse my friends on there =[

Is this what happens when normal people are exposed to the Internet?

Anonymity + audience = shitcock

I'm sorry bro, if you're a "veteran internet user" and you find this to be at all surprising, you really don't deserve the title. Veteran status doesn't even come close to meaning professionalism or even a high school grasp of grammar, it just means you've been around a long time. And if you have this shouldn't surprise you at all.

People can be dicks anywhere, no matter how "formal" the place is. It's the internet. Yes it'd suck if your relatives pulled up your page and granny saw that (although I dunno about you but my relatives'd probably get a kick out of seeing a message like that), but that's the risk you take when you put yourself up on an unregulated medium like the interweb.

You've not seen scary until you've seen the blog where a guy posts pictures of his semen on photographs of celebrities.

 

[Darkside55]

That ain't scary.

 

[Baal]

I guess I had my expectations of integrity mis-placed.

I held facebook to a higher regard than other social networking hotspots.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Things like this are exactly why I withdrew myself from Facebook long ago.

That and it's a complete waste of time.

 

[Baal]

I dunno, it's not that bad.

Depends how seriously people take it too. I changed my religious views to "Whatever my parents tell me to believe" but then I decided to change it back because I didn't want anyone to think it's true :|

 

[Ennui]

I'm a facebook whore. It's... embarrassing.

Baal, if you were weirded out / annoyed by that, never, ever visit /b/.

 

[tehsolace]

u guyz r just intrnet lozerz dats all

 

[PvtRyan]

That ain't scary.

It is when the semen is sometimes green.

 

[Vass]

You live in Nova Scotia? Tight, i know some people up there

 

[Baal]

What part?

 

[Darkside55]

Baal, if you were weirded out / annoyed by that, never, ever visit /b/.

See, right now I'd tell you, "God damn it shut up about /b/!" like I do every time someone mentions it, but actually, go ahead. Go visit /b/. YOU WON'T SEE ANYTHING. GG, Moot.

Haha, that's great. I mean really, really great.

Come on, most internet users can figure a way around that within 30 seconds that doesn't involve highlighting

Pitzy and Willie spam rape my myspace

D:

 

[Krynn72]

That ain't scary.

Nothings scary anymore for a /b/tard

I guess I had my expectations of integrity mis-placed.

I held facebook to a higher regard than other social networking hotspots.

If you want a serious networking site, go to linkedin.com. Its basically a site for professionals in any industry to network, but you can also find friends and stuff, but still retain the professionalism.

D:

I wanna too! Whats your myspaces?

 

[Darkside55]

One could only hope they wouldn't.

I've noticed though that if all else fails they just jump ship to another chan's /b/.

This is what is posted multiple times a week as bulletins on my myspace.
