Why I hate ….

FriendsReunited.com!

 

The Internet has brought many benefits to modern society; free pornography, er free pornography and if you are willing to pay money for it, high quality hard-core pornography. It has however created a horrible monster. No not a brass eye related paedophile frenzy but FriendsReunited.com.

Do you really care what happened to people you met years ago at a place like this?

Supposedly this site allows former classmates to make contact with each other again and to renew old friendships, but I ask is this the case? Of course not! People use it thus,

Scenario A - You log on simply to brag to people that you no longer know, or care about that you have actually done something worthwhile with your sad life (which is probably a lie anyway) or

Scenario B - You log on under an assumed name in order to spy on your former classmates without the risk of any of the freaks you went to school with getting in touch with you.

Here are two genuine examples from the site (some details have been edited to protect their identity);

'Bush'

I'm still at **** uni. I've got one and a half years to go until I qualify as a frighteningly incompetent doctor. Got engaged to **** too, wedding sometime in mid 2003...

Clearly this is the sort of typical boring nerd with five inch thick glasses who used to wear a uniform and be clever at science.

Steven Cross

Went to **** then Oxford got a PhD and now works in the foreign office as a diplomat in Afghanistan. Looking for Mr O. B-L, r u on friends reunited?

Now did anyone go to school with someone like that? Of course you didn't yet another Internet invisible man!

In conclusion then the problem with friends reunited is it is a) a fabric of lies and b) the only genuine entries on there are from the sad boring losers you used to beat up at school!

We are therefore calling on our loyal acolytes to either bombard the site with fake accounts and misinformation or instead assassinate its members of staff, rise up my friends, for together we are strong!
