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.
