~ You on Facebook
Facebook (from Sarkozyian French "fesse bouc") is a highly modified MySpace profile used regularly by the government and Universities and colleges to spy on society and prospective students, and a mutation of the LiveJournal virus that infects people who consider themselves "way too cool" to have a Myspace. Its precise origins are unknown, but it has been hypothesized that the Facebook mutation occurred after the LiveJournal virus was exposed to a form of delta-radiation known as Internet pretention. Its initial spreading is attributed to the American Stalker's Union. It is mainly intended for clinically depressed teenage wanabees, dumbfucks who think acting like G's is cool, and co-morbidity with the MySpace virus is fairly consistent. Facebook is also one of the leading causes of many STDs. People who typically use Facebook are insecure Albanians and Norwegians named Eileen or Joseph, and even possibly Geddy Lee. Facebook is generally defended as "Just a way to keep in touch" - undoubtedly a reference to touching oneself while "investigating" pictures from last night's party in which people who were cooler and prettier than you had a good time.

[edit] Discovery
The Facebook virus was first isolated by researchers at the University of Illinois in February of 2005, headed by Dr. Kevin Finn. At the time, the Winthrop research team was working on a drug that might be able to suppress the LiveJournal gene. Instead, Janelle and her team discovered a foreskin more resilient to his treatment than the LiveJournal one was. When she announced her new discovery, and vowed to "eliminate once and for all this new faceless entity". All data on this new flap was entered into a mainframe that was dubbed "Facebook", and the name stuck.
A valid point would be that Facebook is 100 times better than bebo, tagged, myspace and twitter put together.
[edit] What is Facebook?
Facebook is a book with your face on it. 
Facebook is an online reference to the "Book of Life". The index alone features extrapolations on many topics formally considered much, much more evil than mere symbolic mythology. An investigation by the CIA by their special agent Mr. Smith has revealed that Facebook is actually a cult of the Undead, plotting to overthrow the Earth. As more people are born with faces, James Bond steals them and increases its power. The Bible's 67th book of the Old Testament, the book of Luke Skywalker, prophesies that one day, a baby will be born without a face, born to save the human race. However, some skeptics have suggested that the Bible only says this because it rhymes.
Either that, or as [s]your parents[/s] some speculate a Massively Role-playing Online Pokémon The object being, of course to "Catch 'Em All". Then again, that's only a speculation...
[edit] Effects of Facebook
There is a growing population of people affected by visiobibliophobia as a direct result of Facebook's existance. Facebook has been scientifically proven to cause severe brain death, reducing a student to an enslaved, shambling monstrosity within mere seconds of joining the website. All their time is then taken up by joining useless clubs that only serve to express how much they love Facebook.
Facebook also has a high addiction rate. It is widely believed that when acessing Facebook, invisible cigarrete fumes leak out of computer speakers and monitors. Thousands of users log on to Facebook without logging off for days, and others are unable to not check it everyday. It is currently being researched, while Mark Zuckerbitch is being put on trial.
Facebook has also been linked to the higher likelihood of the carrier developing patterned behavior of substance abuse, mostly related to alcohol and depression. Carriers of the Facebook gene spread their mutation by posting drunken pictures of themselves and others on the Internet in a process known as "tagging." Facebook has also been linked with several psycho-social conditions, including paranoia, schizophrenia, and listening to Sufjan Stevens.
The University of Mongolia released a 2079 report into the effects of Facebook's decision to display its users DNA strands. The report alleged clones were being made on the basis of information on the website, but that due to Facebook's famous inability to display the number "2", they were being made with no limbs or noses. The report has yet to be verified, but a workforce of limbless, noseless morons are piecing through the findings and will come to a conclusion within the next millennium.
There is a growing population of people affected by visiobibliophobia as a direct result of Facebook's existance.
[edit] Big Brother
At the start of September 2006, Big Brother took over Facebook, and as part of the world's backlash against Steve Irwin's death, decided to inform everyone on Facebook of their friends' every move.
For example, the average user can now know with a simple view of their Facebook homepage that:
- Their best friend opted to join the "I hate Oscar Wilde" group and declined their invitation to their newly created "Grue Lovers" group at 8:15 pm (when they said they wouldn't be home)
- Megan T. removed "fuzzy socks" from her interests at 10:37 pm.
- James B. replied to a post in the "I'm a closet terrorist" group at 6:28 pm.
- Lisa H. complained about her history professor in a note posted at 3:35 pm (ironically during her history class).
- At least 5 of their friends are in constant relationship flux (signifying extreme Borderline Personality Disorder) going from "Single" to "It's Complicated" to "In A Relationship" to "Single" again within 15 minutes.
- Little Kate P. from that high school down the street from them will be attending an event nearby at 11 p.m. tomorrow night (hint: now would be a good time to "borrow" some stuff from her place).
- Laura F. and Maria S. stalked new interns for employment at for Furher's Hitler Youth Nazi program.
The aim of this exercise is uncertain, but it seems to be a ploy mainly to make everyone extremely paranoid and piss them off in equal measures along with giving the ones who created this practice a laugh.
[edit] Determining one's worth as a human being based on Facebook
Facebook can serve as a gauge for evaluating worth as a human being. This can have dramatic and lasting consequences, as many who have failed to consider themselves worthwhile human beings by this definition have often sunk into traumatic and suicidal depressive cycles, eventually resulting in a lightly-publicized Internet suicide and the source of a temporal fad for about three months.
Similar to the MySpace Algorithm, this is a point-based system that is based on a combination of factors, including the number of groups one belongs to, the number of people to whom one has never spoken to before listed as "friends", the number of photo albums that involve heavy use of drugs or alcohol, and the number of wall posts one possesses.

[edit] Controversy
[edit] Two-Face theory
Batman's foe, Two Face, is believed to be the founder of Facebook. Certain anti-Facebookists believe that on February 22, 2022 (2/22/22). Harvey Dent/Two Face will use all the knowledge he gained about Facebookers and rob them of their sanity (or whatever else is left over). Please see picture below.
Facebook Versus Efficiency Many scholars have studied historical accounts of student life during the "Pre-Facebook" Era and have come to the conclusion that these students used their time much more efficiently. Some documentation seems to show that in this mysterious era students did not spent a large proportion of their study time telling others needlessly through the medium of social networking sites of their dislike of studying and other academic endeavors. Studies have shown that this action takes up to 70 percent of the average student's study time. Further studies have shown that if students chose not to update their statuses several times a day, with statements to the effect of "Studying is gay", that they would in fact complete their work much quicker and that other facebook users would not hate them as much.
[edit] Allegations of use as a tool for stalkers
In recent years, Facebook has been accused by critics as a tool for stalkers. This claim was further exacerbated in June 2006 when the American Stalker's Union selected Facebook as their favorite website, defeating big contenders like Wikipedia, Google Pages, and Cameras In Your Shower!!!!!! in a site-wide popularity contest. Delighted Facebook executives believe this is because of their new Facebook: Stalker Edition™. Indeed, one in four college murders has been linked with Facebook; a highly publicized case at Wheeling Jesuit University brought this contention further into the limelight when a victim's face was mutilated and a dark blue question mark drawn on instead.
Facebook has consistently refuted these charges, claiming that ritually tracking a person's every movement is too narrow a definition to be classified as "stalking." "So a couple of thousand of college and high school kids are masturbating to pictures of their roommate's girlfriends; what's the big deal?" said Facebook spokesperson "Peeping" Tom Bundy.
