Like Farming.... It's Like Farming, But Not As It's Like Farming.

At this point you may be wondering what the fuck I am wittering on about. It's a Facebook thing whereby someone will put up a picture, usually asking for "If I get 1,000,000 likes my wife says I can fuck two 'strange' at the same time and she won't mind" or more recently (and even for me more low down WTF disturbing) using pics of cancer sufferers / people who have beaten cancer with the usual "Like = you have a heart, Share = you care, Ignore = you're evil and don't care".

So, this picture gets 123,456 likes and 23456 shares so the page owner sells the page, usually (apparently, from a bit of googling) from $1000 upwards. Buyer of page rebrands the page for his or her own means but the likes / shares stay in place so you could now be offering one of the free iPads that cannot be sold due to the box being undone but you must like and share the page, so the figures continue to go up and eventually the page gets resold and the "Like Farming" continues.

People fall for this shit on an hourly basis, being sucked in with piss poor sob stories and the promise of untold Apple related riches. To enable me to rip it to fucking pieces, lets have a look at one of the pictures that has recently done the rounds:

So, we have a brave fellow who has saved his 2 kids from an inferno. One tough cookie, you've got to agree. But I call bullshit. Why?........

1. He either cannot feel pain or refuses to as "Muthafucker Don Feel No Pain Ya Feelme!" He's covered in what we're supposed to believe to be serious burns but "Nobody Got Tiiiime For No Hospital". But he does have the time to pose for this pic with his kids.
2. It was obviously a directional fire at only a specific height as his Casio G-Shock in Arctic White is pristine.
3. Who's fucking kitchen is that? It was a blazing fire... but was it only blazing in one room or has he popped into the neighbours? "Wassup Neighbours"
4. His kids seem awfully pleased with what's just happened, so much so that one child is throwing gang signs. "Fuck Daddies Burns.... E-Street Corner Boyz"

Absolute crock of shit. And yes, like the statement, I ignored it because I actually do not fucking care.

Another gem that does the rounds is the Can I Get 1,000,000 Likes" pics. Why 1,000,000? It seems a little greedy... why not 10,000. Anyways, found this one lurking, it's straight to the point with no hidden agenda:

 

No, little girl, no you cannot.

 

 

These pics are everywhere on Facebook, and it still amuses me how many people i know who are on my timeline / newsfeed that actually fall for this shit day in, day out. I could prattle on all day about this but instead I'll leave you with one picture that basically sums it up:
