This Is Why Everyone on Facebook Hates You

Categories: Humor

We all know how Facebook was conceived in a dorm room and came to life over apple martinis (or so says The Social Network), but it's definitely not as glamorous as the movie, especially when posting photos of scabs and fetuses. So while you're stalking exes and commenting to yourself on how fat people have gotten since high school, you're pissing off everyone on your Friends list. Here's why:

Why would you post this on Facebook?
You post too many pictures of your food, cat, and baby
We get it; your baby is cute, your cat is cute, and you're a master chef of anything coming in a box marked "Kraft." Unless it's a photo of your cat holding your baby while making you a steak for dinner, we've seen it before.

You write "RIP" for every public death
We all knew Michael Jackson died the exact second he was wheeled over to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Your post with "RIP" written across the top didn't break the news, and the same goes for your RIP posts on Whitney Houston, Dick Clark, Roger Ebert, Patricia Medina, and everyone else who is remotely famous. Mourning their loss? Fine, just stop inundating Facebook with the news of their death, because like we said, we already knew.

In Defense of San Francisco Craigslist Ads: We're No More Annoying than You Are

Categories: Commentary, Humor
craigslist.jpg

Yesterday, Uproxx and Jezebel wrote about a Craigslist housing ad deemed "the most annoying ad ever" and that combines "every [San Francisco] stereotype into one, magnificently un-self-aware post." Because it's the Internet, we expect a certain amount of snark for all things even a little bit mockable, but is the ad itself deserving of so much scorn?

Is San Francisco Craigslist really worse than other big, liberal cities? Let's explore.

Vaginas. Creating life. Wreaking havoc for our lawmakers. And now, causing adorable gay men to make squirmy faces and ultimately atone in this hilarious video. Davey Wavey asked seven gay men to describe their thoughts and feelings about vaginas, and while at first the questions prompt lots of giggling (vaginas are hilarious!), and comments like, "Uhhhh ... I think ... that lots of people have them?" The video quickly shifts gears into a downright vagina celebration.

My Drunk Kitchen Gets Fancy with HD, Celebrity Guest Spots, and a Tour

Julia Child, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday this year, ended many of her cooking segments with a plated meal and a glass of wine. The lady loved to drink -- so much so, that she dedicated the preamble of her seminal book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, to the subject.

Bay Area native, Hannah Hart, has taken Child's modus operandi to disastrous and hilarious new heights. Hart is the brain behind My Drunk Kitchen, a YouTube series dedicated to the art of inebriated cooking.

There and Blecch Again: Mad Magazine's Lord of the Rings Parodies

SC_108_MadMagazineLordOfTheRingsParodies.jpg

So, after years of legal and logistical wrangling in which director Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema were suing each other over royalties from the Lord of the Rings movies and whether he'd direct the not-really-necessary The Hobbit, followed by Guillermo Del Toro signing on to direct and then dropping out again and Jackson finally signing on to direct what was only intended to be two movies -- whew! -- part one of the pointlessly three-part Hobbit saga is finally here. Just two more of them to go, and we can put it all behind us.
