I know this must be frustrating for readers who don’t have a Facebook account and can’t access Facebook, but I’ve developed an interest in this whole Facebook controversy, and have been watching it closely. By now, most should know that an Anti-Facebook group has popped up that now has close to 800,000 members (about to surpass the largest group in Facebook history), and as can be predicted, people are trying to use the wall of the group to spam it. It’s adding a lot of clutter, with several hundred wall posts being posted per minute. You’ll see several posts like this one:

Several other posts try to get people to join other Facebook groups, some with similar causes, some that are just plain stupid. It has really turned into a monkey house and waters down the seriousness of the group’s cause.

A lot of mainstream journalists have tried to portray these students as serious activists, who are finally shaping up and caring for a change. But in reality, it’s just become a kind of “hip” thing and nothing more. As someone who just graduated college, I’m well aware of the hive or “frat boy” mentality that’s prevalant in the college culture. This facebook protest has just reached the tipping point and now students can feel like they’re cool by standing up for something they supposedly believe in.
