Add this to the category of “things I wanted to post weeks ago, but was too busy.”
The Social Network (trailer) is a film about Facebook which I have only ever seen advertised online. It doesn’t seem like they are doing much else to promote that film. Anyway in case you missed it, here’s the inevitable Myspace parody.

Look! It’s the surfing sheep video that was on every site last week except this one because I was working. You can say that’s a fake video, but Mildred is still cooler than you because she has more twitter and FB friends than you.
My boorish opinions on this commercial are below, but I really posted it because this is our local news WZZM. (Don’t click that! The site is full of ads and hurts your eyes.) The local news is like listening to your mom talk about her Facebook friends. WZZM is constantly discussing their FB fan page and I would guess that 30-40% of their reporting is about things they read on Facebook. So this is what you are missing if you don’t live in West Michigan.
This commercial is really strange. In my opinion it seems like they are making fun of individuals who post nonsense to social networks. Yet, they’re insulting the very people that are the market for the phone they are trying to sell. I guess they are banking on the fact that freaks like us who post to social networks every 5 minutes must have a sense of humor.
Fair enough.
And so ends my shortest rant ever.
Vintage ads that are oh so wrong. (One is the picture above) thanks @tone_def

You can have your own social news network like, digg or reddit and share it between friends. Perhaps, I should use Slinkset and spare you all these personal comments.
The Oatmeal tries to categorize the folks you talk to on the phone. Who actually uses phones anymore?

Beardyman – I’ll be honest, when I saw it was an hour long I reacted just as I did to Dances with Wolves, No Way! However, Beardyman is crazy talented. It was amazing.

I like Corsets – If you’ve got an hour to kill watching Beardyman above, why not listen to a podcast of us having dinner?
Trololo Cat – I saved the best for last.
I should really make this part interactive, huh? Like the last week of the month, or so, have folks vote on FB or twitter? What do you think? Comment and tell me.
It’s the hair metal song that has been missing from your life. Of course, that part of the parody will be lost on you because the lyrics will ring so true. I need a drink, this is depressing.
