I’m going to throw it out there…

Is Facebook necessary?

Is it necessary to know that your next door neighbor in college’s favorite food is pizza bites because they included you in a “note”? Is it also necessary to know that they cried during Bambi, tried to sync the Wizard of Oz with Darkside of the Moon, or once tried pot?

Is it necessary to see everyone’s photos of them drinking, vacationing, or just triyng to rub something in to other obsessed facebookers? I’d like to shake the hand of the first person that posts photos of themselves lighting farts, getting kicked out of a strip club, or shaking hands with Sasquatch. Hell, I might even kick him in the sack if he posted photos of me doing any of these things.

Is it necessary to be a part of mob wars, a baseball tycoon, or fantasy football? Is it necessary to keep inviting everyone you know to do this for no reason? Is it necessary to even have this crap on there? Is it necessary to share a plant, starfish, or fish from an aquarium? What the fuck?

Is it necessary to have a wall or have people write messages on there that everyone can see? What’s the point? Is it necessary for every one to know last weekend was amazing, that girls night was off the hook, that Johnny moved on with a new girl, that the frat party rocked, or that Sean pissed his pants?

What the hell is a group? What is their function? Is it necessary to have them? You want a group? Make a business; it’s easy, will give you money, and is less gay than making a “Seniors Rule” or “My bar is better than yours” page.

Is the news feed necessary? Do you need to know that the girl you work with made spaghettio’s and they were awesome or your old roommate is relaxing then watching 24? Whose idea was creating this stalker page? The CIA?

Is it necessary to friend everyone you once knew? Is it necessary to friend the person you met in the library, the person on the subway that geeked you out, the person that served you fries with that, the person that blew up your toilet, the person that you once loved, the person you once hated?

Is this post necessary? Probably not. Why don’t you start a group about it.
