I understand Facebook for people who are actually close (GOOD friends and close family). My parents are halfway across the country. Sometimes I wish we had an easier way to share pics of my son with them but email is good enough.
I get fed up with people who have hundreds of "friends" and then they have to post pictures of the BLT they had for lunch, some pointless picture of their kids (almost always named Emma or Liam) and then whatever garbage they "accomplished" in farmville that day. Let's not forget the stupid comments they made on local news stories that usually go something like this:
"My prayers are with the family."
"Oh my gosh, how terrible."
"I agree."
The sheer volume of inane drivel is what drives me insane. My wife has to be on Facebook all day watching the endless stream of garbage. She loves it and it makes me want to puke. Seriously, read a fucking book.
