I'm no 'Fun' anymore: Go Fun Yourself

Facebook's stupidest application: the Fun Wall. Remember how you used to get all that idiotic chain mail from your distant relatives and friends you don't talk to anymore? The racist ethnic jokes, the right-wing propaganda masquerading as patriotism and/or folk wisdom, the nauseatingly saccharine shout-outs to babies, puppies, true love and Jesus? Guess where they went?

The really annoying thing is people who relay Fun Wall posts - post it on your friend's profile, and it shows up on all of the Fun Wall's of the recipient's friends: viral and vile! I didn't even need to have Fun Wall installed, it installs automatically if I follow the e-mail link that tells me someone posted to my Fun Wall. The Fun Wall is easily my biggest annoyance with Facebook. That and still having to list my political views as 'other', rather than Socialist.

At least it's easy to delete applications, and it's free, unlike deleting CanWest Global and Bell Globemedia crap from my programmed TV channels that still show up on my cable bill.

You and Hitler have something in common. Socialism... 1930, Germany's Democratic Socialist Party was spawned from the German Worker's Party.... With a very very strong socialist platform (damn shame about the anti-semitism thing, and the whole conquer the world thing).

On the other hand, I can not help but to remember what a benevolent leader herr, opps sorry, comrades Lenin and Stalin were. What was the body count before the curtain fell? 60 million missing and dead? Oh, that is a conservative estimate... Socialism appears to be good for population control.
