If you’re like us, then you’ve succumbed at some point within the last year or so to Facebook, the omnipresent online directory that used to be for college kids, then got infested with young adults and has most recently become awash in really, really old people.
Seriously … what used to be the hip “(LOL)ocation” for trendy teens is now a voyeuristic status stage for millions of Americans with equal parts time – and wrinkles – on their hands.
There’s even a friggin’ Medicaid page on Facebook now, for crying out loud.
Anyway, one of the other annoying things about Facebook is the steady barrage of formulaic emails it spits out from politicians begging you to become their “fans.” Yeah, as if …
In fact, the only thing more annoying than getting an email that says “Alan Clemmons suggested you become a fan of Alan Clemmons” is an email from some anonymous, non-human page (tied to a generic, easily misapplied concept) which wants you to become a “fan” of some other anonymous, non-human page tied to some other generic, easily misapplied concept.
Like this email, which we received Sunday …
Tax Reform suggested you become a fan of Christmas …
Huh?
Call us Ebenezer, but “No.” The answer is “No.”
“Christmas” apparently has 712 fans, though, one of whom is obviously “Tax Reform,” who himself has 563 fans (including “The Bible” and “American Girls”).
Arrgh.
