Has anyone mentioned Facebook Users?
I don't mean the ones who connect and keep in touch with people they actually know, I can understand that. It's the ones who connect with friends of friends (repeat ad naseum) or, in fact, anyone...twats.

Then there's all the pictures people take of themselves, usually pouting, to stick on there. If you love yourself that much, go and sort yourself out in front of a mirror...twats.

Plus I'm getting emails that someone is shopping in town, or eating at Pizza Express etc, etc.. like I give a shit! maybe I should set 'taking a dump' or 'cracking one off' as my status...and if you're at a concert, watch the frigging show, that's what you've paid to see, never mind bragging about where you are to your 'friends'...twats

I don't want to know every little detail of your life, if you have the need to write your feelings down, use a diary. Meet up with friends to talk, show them photos of your holiday, kids, fluffeh cats etc.....twats

Get outside, meet real people, stop spending your life online and stop spouting off your every thought to people you don't actually know - most of whom won't actually care, 'cos it's not about them...twats

Hang on......oh fuck, it's not just Facebook, is it?

My response to anyone who bleats on about how all TV programs are shit these days is normally along the lines of 'you can turn it off, you know'.

Agreed.
Or just use a junk mail account which you'll never sign into. Facebook can be pleasant with the right configuration.

I have yet to experience this 'pleasant' Facebook of which you speak.

Why don't you stop Facebook emailing you notifications? Unless you want to be kept updated constantly.

The concept of Facebook is fundamentally sound,
but it's too much of a shiny plaything left in the hands of idiots. It's like a television where you have to deprogram certain channels to avoid the deluge of spam and vomitous updates from morons. Some people even seem to have their own "Facebook personality": a girl I know is perfectly normal in social situations but when you look at her Facebook wall, you're e-slapped with a torrent of Updates All In Initial Capital Letters Like An Illiterate Jonathan Swift, 99% of which talk about how much she likes rum and teh cock.

That's some code thing.
If you post full caps it just capitalises the first letter, still makes you look like a mong though. If I was a coder for facebook I'd just replace all full caps text with 'I'm a speng'. I like to do my bit for humanity.

Now that you mention it,
if all her posts had been automatically corrected to "I'm a speng", I wouldn't have felt the need to block her newsfeed.

Speng?
I thought it was spong?

Ah, facebook updates.
I recall when a colleague Ash (a polite family man and practicing Muslim) accepted a friend request from John. All was well for a few weeks until John did two things -- he left the firm and came out.
After that Ash had a mailbox full of status updates saying things like:
"John has signed up to 'I want cock and I want it now!'"
"John likes "big-cocked bears are the best"
"John has joined 'cocksucking rules'"
"John says 'Please vote Jeremy in Mr Gay Muscle, he's so hot!'"
Needless to say, Ash turned off email updates, then defriended John soon after.
