F*** my facebook!!!
Clearly people are outraged with the changes of the Facebook layout. This just reinforces my belief that people do not like change as much as they say they do. People like what is familiar because they understand it, and it is familiar! This is called the Mere Exposure Effect, which basically states that people claim to like change because it promotes progress, but in reality they like what they are used to. (You can't help but wonder how people will really respond once Obama stops talking about change and actually changes something.)
What I really like on this video comes at about the last minute or so when the point is made that people ban together to bitch about how much Facebook sucks-on Facebook. People have made several groups against the new site layout but wouldn't think about deactivating their own account. This also reinforces my belief that people generally talk a lot but rarely back it up. If the online community really wanted to show how bad it sucked, they would all ban together and stop using the site. I know stop Facebook, that would be an epic day. Nevertheless, the clips of real people going crazy/getting mad/becoming clinically depressed are hilarious; it really does a lot to make the world's youth look as ignorant to the REAL issues as older people think we are. Good job guys.
