Rant o' the Week

The day when there are "Anti- Ketchup Packet" fan sites and groups on Facebook is a sad day indeed. (See this article here.) When I read this article on Yahoo, I realized that now is the time to REALLY say something about it.
I am surprised at the amount of time people have to come up with (and join!) these pages on the Internet. Not only do they clutter my Home Page on Facebook with unnecessary muck, but what do they accomplish?
Here are the reasons that teenagers join these groups.
1) They want their friends to think they are cool, too, by joining the same groups that they do.
2) They have disgusting amounts of time on their hands to spend re-clicking and clicking the mouse over and over and over again. "Become a fan" "Become a fan" "BECOME A FAN"
3) The need for psychological help is growing at an unprecedented rate, therefore teens feel that they have to join groups and show on their profiles that they, too, think that boyfriends shouldn't treat their girlfriends like crap (You can find that real, actual, absolutely non-artificial page on Facebook as well.. much to the chagrin of anyone who has common sense.) or other such nonsense.
Teenagers obviously feel that in order to fully express themselves, they need to join a bunch of groups on Facebook before the world ends so that their friends can know things they did a long time ago, or yesterday.

Examples: "Oh right, you were waving at the person behind me. My bad."
"No, they can't come over, this house is a mess!" "Mom, They Don't Care..."
"I was looking at you, but quickly looked away once you noticed."


The only thing that goes through my mind when I see such things is, "Really?" Has society really come to an era of expressing ourselves through groups that we join on Facebook? What about highly intellectual conversation? Will you find these on Facebook? Probably not. Because all girls want to do is talk about how bad their relationship is with their boyfriend and how the world will blow up in bits because he dumped them (my guess is that there are a bunch of lonely, lifeless girls who have joined that group).
BOO HOO!

Teenagers- Get a life! Get a hobby (Facebook is NOT a hobby!) or a job.
Or spend some time on Blogger, ranting. Just like me.

P.S. I think I will post an Official List of Hobbies and UN- Hobbies... you know, for the good of the world. Tomorrow.
