Facebook trends...my thoughts.

Oh hi! So I've noticed there have been a couple trends within my group of facebook friends and I have some things to say about them.

First of all, I know the "Where you put your purse" status trend among women is starting to die off due to women everywhere losing interest once they have had their fun during the first week of National Breast Cancer Awareness MONTH...but let me just go into this little rant. How the hell does the location of purse placing have anything to do with breast cancer awareness? Sure the answers make you feel clever and a little saucy as you trick the dirty minds of men (and some women) everywhere....but how can you be satisfied that you did your part with such a measly status? Here's a thought: How about skipping the obscure bullshit and linking to websites like nationalbreastcancer.org and thebreastcancersite.com that actually offers help to women instead of posting stupid traps that lead to no where. If you are willing to play such an idiotic game with men, why not make the game about something relevant to breast cancer prevention like "How do you like to examine for lumps?" (Examples: Lindsey likes to let him to do it even if he is not sure what he is doing; Jane Doe has another woman [the OB] do it for her; So and So likes to use her hands). It's still sexy and obscure but actually has more to do with Breast cancer Awareness and Prevention.

Secondly, what is up with folk feeling the need to post articles about the awesome preservation of McDonald's products? (Oh god, I sound like a bad 90's comedian!) Didn't we solve this mystery a la Super Size Me years ago? Not to mention, anyone who has ever eventually cleaned out a family vehicle has, at some point, discovered those mystery mummy fries creeping under the seat cushions. I'm pretty sure most of us know McDonalds is absolutely terrible for our digestive systems, but perhaps we are too busy contemplating the deliciousness of McFoodz to really let the facts soak into our skulls...that is, until the next "Shocking" discovery.

And now, I shall end on a positive note: THIS! OH MY GOD, THIS.

This is wonderful. This is an advert for Sesame Street parodying the Old Spice Commercials that I love so very much. Grover has been my favorite monster since I was a little baby Linz whether he is a Farmer, a Tooth Brush Salesman, or even a waiter. My, that Grover is a monster of many talents!

Welp, I guess I could write about a few more, but that runs the risk of being a little TL;DC---and being that I don't really have anyone reading this thing anyway, that translates as a huge waste of time. THE END!
