That is strange. Why does Facebook give a crap? And if they do, why won't they say why?

 
Marcus Aurelius [TotalFark] 2010-03-11 06:17:41 PM  
Facebook also refuses to say whether they were with Glenn Beck at any time in 1990.

Coincidence?

Maybe.

Liberals are just scared of a beautiful, intelligent poodle with tin foil on it's head.

What, did Beck threaten another lawsuit?

 
drew46n2 [TotalFark] 2010-03-11 07:25:36 PM  
the dog must have raped and murdered someone back in 1990.

If you have not figured it out already, Facebook is actually a rather evil company.
The CEO is personally being accused of logging into the email accounts of people not on his friends list, namely competitors. Which would be a felony charge of wire fraud in ... well, all 50 states and a Federal charge at that.

So, with that sort of shiat going on and their announced views on personal privacy rights...
I can see them being card carrying, arm-band wearing Beckmeisters.
They probably all get together and teabag each other in their cubicles after the lights go out too.

What about the page trying to get more fans for a Dung Beetle than for Glenn Beck? I became a fan of that one.

Well, we both know that it was only mentioned in passing in the article.

You did read the article, right?

... right?

You can still become a fan of the group though. I became a fan after reading this article.

Indeed. I'm not saying that Facebook has sided with Glenn Beck over a small, obviously American dog, but isn't it strange that they haven't addressed these allegations? Just asking questions.

Also, I find it highly suspicious that Facebook can't account for its whereabouts in 1990. Make of that what you will.

Damn, missed your post.

Does anyone actually like Glenn Beck? Or is his popularity all about the schadenfreude?

And didn't he do something bad in 1990? 'Cause I heard that.

 
Hector Remarkable [TotalFark] 2010-03-11 09:09:47 PM  
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that Glen Beck raped and killed a poodle, but, it seems clear now.

 
mosstron 2010-03-11 09:10:57 PM  
In case others are looking for it, there is a facebook link on their website: http://www.bobthewonderpoodle.com/

sounds like the same thing to me

I'm now a fan.
Suck on that, Facebook.

 
Aboleth 2010-03-11 09:12:04 PM  
Once I asked a group of people, "Does any of you know where Facebook was in 1990, what it was doing and who it was doing it with?"

Everyone looked pretty uneasy. I'm betting there's something there.

My mother thinks he's one of the most decent, honest and well-read commentators out there. She gives him a pass about 1990- y'know-- youthful indiscretion.

 
steamingpile 2010-03-11 09:12:34 PM  
Most likely someone posted a threat on the page or wall and that immediately pulls he plug, non story but I like the whining by the page starter.

Next time dont attack an easy target that will get both sides of sharks circling, you are just asking for trouble.

rcain: If you have not figured it out already, Facebook is actually a rather evil company.

I figured that out ages ago. The potential for abuse is astronomical and the users... oh my god, the users are so naive and retarded (sorry Trig).

I finally managed to ween my wife off of it by educating her about what she was exposing herself to (ergo, a permanent, irrevocable record of her life and interactions with people), but I'm constantly amazed at how many people fundamentally do not understand this. I mean sure, if you're okay with it - then go for it, but at least come into the situation knowing that everything you do, say, upload, etc is out of your hands once you click that button - for all time.

Kubo: Who gives a crap?

The parents of a young poodle that was allegedly raped and killed in 1990?

Oh noes! Someone was doing something popular and fun on facebook. They MUST be STOPPED!

Sisyphusian, not sissified - the dung beetle.

 
what_now [TotalFark] 2010-03-11 09:14:11 PM  
That put the tin-hatted poodle at the center of a dispute over First Amendment free speech rights and censorship.


THE FIRST AMENDMENT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!!!

IS THERE A FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF FACEBOOK???? IS FACEBOOK A FARKING COP??? A JUDGE??? THAN THEY CAN BAN WHO EVER THE FARK THEY WANT, YOU FARKING MORONS!!!

 
BenJammin 2010-03-11 09:14:17 PM  
The poodle must have made fun of someone's miscarriage on the radio.

 
shirtsbyeric [TotalFark] 2010-03-11 09:14:24 PM  
False accusations of rape are just as bad as rape itself...unless they are about Glen Beck in 1990

I helped a pickle get more fans than Nickleback...

Besides, the poodle was a whore.

You can say the same thing for most people who jump on internet fads, myspace, facebook, twitter..........etc.......

All stupid ideas with not much value after a few years

 
CygnusDarius [TotalFark] 2010-03-11 09:16:46 PM  
Farkers, it has come to this.

If Facebook thinks they can block this noble goal, we can prove them wrong.

Because we, my brothers, are Farkers. No matter the political background, relgion, gender, sexual preference, or beer snobbery. We must unite, for procastionation, for shenanigans... For sheer douchebaggery and getting laughs while we do it!.

Onward, to Victory!!!1

Ahem...it was rape AND murder, though not necessarily in that order.

I helped the pickle too....are they saying that somehow a poodle is lower on the food chain than a pickle...I am shocked...shocked I say

I have been a member for a while. I did wonder why the page had not been posting any bulletins.

Come to think of it, my Aunt's poodle died around 1990. Hmmmm.

Not calling you a liar, but my google-fu is weak and finds no hits.
