FACEBOOK SUICIDE (BOMB) MANIFESTO

From: Sean Dockray A roadmap for an effective Facebook suicide should do some of the following: catching as many viruses as possible; click on as many ?Like? buttons as possible; join as many groups as possible; request as many friends as possible. Wherever there is the possibility for action, take it, and take it without any thought whatsoever. Become a machine for clicking! Every click dissolves the virtual double that Facebook has created for you. It disperses you into the digital lives of others you hadn?t thought of communicating with. It confuses your friends. It pulls all those parts of the world that your social network refuses to engage with back into focus, makes it present again. Other alternatives:- - stick to facebook and provide rubbish data. “database vandalism!” - "fakebook" where you do not use your real name and fill your profile with nonsense information.
