I realize this thread is kind of old, but I did want to comment on one part: “facebook will be just like MySpace”.

That’s ridiculous. Facebook will never make me squint to read someone’s interests in pink curly font with a distorted Britney Spears background. It will never crash my computer. It will never unexpectantly blare out music on my computer at work. Also, I can search for my friend “John Smith” without knowing his alter ego “Big Daddy G 85″.

I am so happy I no longer have to search for my long lost high school friends on MySpace. They’re still cool, even if they didn’t go to college.

And my parents will NEVER see my facebook profile, because my privacy settings can prevent it. Duh.

Thanks for not being an idiot like…well, when I was invited, it was up around 180,000 people. I also thought it was a fake, due to the incessant raising of the bar, as well as the other peculiarities you mentioned. Thanks for having an intelligent blog discussing not only the asininity of hundreds of thousands of “higher-education” students, but also the ubiquitous shadow of commercialization and capitalization that looms over every good (and free) thing. May I post a link on my Facebook profile to this page?

I think Evan’s post is astroturf, which means that whoever is heading this marketing scheme is going to different blogs to post comments linking back to “Brody’s” site. That guy had a whole bunch of links in his comment to places where you can buy brody gear, and I went through and erased them. These fake commenters are trying to act like Brody stands for some kind of political metaphor and that’s why we should have renewed faith in his name despite the fact that he’s nothing but a big lie.
