Reasons to Quit Facebook

by Chad Mumm — Apr 16th 2009 at 1:59PM

Pseudo game apps like 'Ninjas Vs. Zombies'; what are we, like, six-years old?

It seems like every day we get another request to join some ridiculous group game, like Ninjas Vs. Zombies or some such nonsense. "You've been bitten by John," our notifications announce, "join this game and bite five more people to help defeat the ninjas." What happens when you get all your friends to become ninjas? Absolutely nothing. We thought this was just an annoying trend, but it continues to endure. For the users out there that send us these games, please know that, however much pleasure you get from fightin' zombies, we get double the pleasure in ignoring you.

If you're that worried, or annoyed by Facebook, you have some serious problems. Get over it. And if you don't want to be on a social networking site, no one is forcing you! So delete your account, and get on with your boring life.
