I was on this vestigial social networking device (I don’t know if you remember it) and right up next to the navy blue masthead and a creative, sexy, and awe-inspiring status from yours truly was a disturbing advertisement. It was so disturbing, I had to click on it, it was like Pandora’s box…or Pandora’s advertisement or Pandora. Ok. Maybe not the last one.
Not all advertisements on this pathetic social networking device are evil. For example, when my bookface status was, “DAMN, I WANT SOME CHOCOLATE IN MY BELLY RIGHT NOW!”, an advertisement for Reese’s was foisted upon me. And it excited me. I was impressed and I said to facebook, “good decision” And everyone smiled and laughed and went to their local 7-Eleven to celebrate with some peanut butter and chocolatey goodness.
Indeed, a place of sunshine and smiles.
But then facebook disappointed me. Or confused me. Or made me sick in my mouth? One of those, not sure which one.
AMTC. These was the 4 letters that described this advertisement. AMTC? Was this some new chocolate I had never heard of?
No.
No it was not.
It was this.
Actors, Models, and Talent for CHRIST?
Christ?
I’m not an actor. I’m not a model. I’m not talented. And I’m not a follower of the zombie Christ. The blog I write for is not called Hipster Christian. It is in fact called, “Hipster Jew”.
This is entirely too positive and encouraging to have anything to do with me.
Who do you think I am facebook? It’s like you don’t even know me anymore.
Maybe its time we went our separate ways. I will be sure to accidentally-on-purpose run into you with my laptop at hand, google+ on the open. But only after six months when you swear your over me. You’ll never be over me, facebook. Never.
PS: I was on Google+ BEFORE it was open to the public. Yep. That cool.
