VIDEO: This is How Bad The Social Network Could Have Been
Looking at the bright side of things is hard, especially when there are viral videos like this pinging around the tubes of the Internet. Spurred on by any Apple or Google ad from the last 365 days -- not to mention what you'd have to assume was the existence The Social Network and Catfish -- an intrepid filmmaker decided to create A Life on Facebook. The title says it all, folks! Click ahead to watch the pretension and weep at the use of The Rolling Stones classic "Paint It, Black." Expect this to become a CBS series within the next 12 hours.

I shared this on Facebook.... Ah, the sweet, stale taste of irony.
I "Liked" it, just so that I could "Unlike" it.
Because I'm a snarky bastard who likes to do things on the interwebs.
I actually do like the video. I think its sentimentality is intended to be tongue-in-cheek. And it does nail the blandness of a lot of the sharing that goes on via facebook. Also, wondering if our facebook pages will actually still be around when we are old. The editing to the song is excellent.
I actually do like the video. I think... I think... I think I have made my point.
