ideal candidates for formspring accounts

Meet Nina. Nina has little self-esteem and has broken many bridges in her life. Drama isn’t terribly uncommon (as she is in a sorority and is in college) and she’s had her fair share of breakups. Nina isn’t ugly or gorgeous, skinny or fat. Nina is a typical college female – the center of her own world, a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things.

nina the nobody

Since Nina lacks any ounce of maturity or self-knowledge, she cares deeply about what other people think of her. It is important to note that she doesn’t seem to care what her actual friends think of her (who would obviously just ask any questions to her face and/or already know the answers since they are friends with her). No, Nina wants to know what Susie Sorority (who is pissed off that her ex has a crush on Nina) thinks. In fact, when Susie “anonymously” calls Nina a fat whore, Nina take this to heart and allows it to consume her life. And so, Nina kills herself.

sheep + formspring = this

This actually happens. What “experts” (i.e. idiots with a BS in psychology or something) are calling “cyber-bullying” has gotten way out of hand through websites like myspace, facebook, and formspring. Honestly, though, putting yourself out there on any of these websites is inviting other weak sheep to gain enough confidence to confront you in ways they wouldn’t be able to face to face. This is obviously a recipe for disaster. Get a life, not a formspring.

On an unrelated side note, here is Margo’s formspring account. BAHHH!!!!!!

“Politically aware” Facebook statuses bother me just as much as Green Day’s self-important political rants and Pink’s supposed political career. I’m not exactly sure if people are trying to pass themselves off as smarter or more aware, but the point is that you will never be taken seriously for what you put up on Facebook. Jesus Christ, at least get a .com and legitimize yourself (*cough* www.whyisthispopular.com *cough*). For those people that are too useless to get a real soapbox, Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace remain to be fantastic forums of anonymity and fail. For the rest of us, there’s Mastercard Why Is This Popular DOT Com.
