Old people are the kudzu of Facebook

[Lord Pmann]

Facebook is kind of mindless anyway. But holy shit, old people are killing me. They post the stupidest shit. Share this. Share that. Here's a pic of this cat. Here's some shitty meme. Here's 100 pics of my grandkids. Watch this monkey.

As a younger, more naive Pmann, I contributed to this takeover. I showed my mother how to use it. And oh my god. Why? And then there is a ripple effect. Old people invite other old people and ruin my Facebook experience.

My appearance on FB marked the beginning of the end. I have been on the net since probably 1988. Never under my actual name. So I join facebook only to keep in contact with my kids and get all these, "You aren't dead??" messages.

My kids fled facebook within a month.

They don't mention where they are online now lest old people invade.

I love this: http://youtu.be/lJ0yD-9CDwI.

Also, I'm not old and I'm a heavy FB user so Fuck You, Pmann! (My phone nearly autocorrected to Duck Zulu, Oman....maybe I shoulda left that).

The youngsters are at Instagram. My youngest said she's thinking of making a MySpace account because she and her friends don't think adults are going back.

So they can post their tits and pouty lips pics and you cant see them.

You know instagram is your enemy, right?

I don't think I really said that. But it was better.

The worst is when I got a friend request from my grandmother. She's crazier than a shithouse rat. When I saw that request I was furious with my mother for teaching her how to use this technology. It's like giving a lunatic a flamethrower, but this flamethrower shoots out insanely awkward comments about naked, baby Pmann or when baby Pmann used to pee on things.

Almost like you pulled that from a pamphlet you got at the school.

Good luck.

I do not envy parents of teens.

I recently deleted mine - hadn't been on in about a year. Now I waste all my time with you fuckers.

It was either that or you were saying old people were green, hanging perennial vines. I took a guess.

I am so grateful social media like Instagram and FB weren't around when I was in middle school/high school. Talk about dodging a bullet.

I only have FB so I know the name of the crazy family member's latest fella at family gatherings.

Litervention!

You've been using a lot of cat smileys. Is everything alright at home?

my niece had multiple accounts when she was 15 or 14. hell, my... i don't honestly know what you'd call her had dozens of myspace profiles. she's a fucking weirdo, though. she's on her second kid. i think she can drink legally now, but i'm not sure. what fun kids are.

 

[Killswitch]

Haven't seen the pamphlet, thanks. It helps that I'm an avid user and that I have fostered an open relationship with my kids. They aren't perfect and I'm far from perfect, but our relationships are solid. No need for a Lit-intervention, KS.

Chill. All I said was instatits is where the kids go to post all the stuff they don't want you to see.

You being parents not you specifically.

That's actually what I said, yes.

But Facebook was enjoyable at one point. I realize I sound like one of the old fuckers on here who complain about the good old days of the GB.

I didn't say you were old. You're like 28, right?

It's true old family members post some really stupid shit on FB, but I guess silver lining is it has cut down on the stupid email forwards from them.

Sigh.

 

[Miles Long]

I'm just surprised your family still talk to you.

They're really more like prison pen pals at this point.

We are far more interesting than videos of masturbating monkeys.
