I actually agree, to a certain extent, with this critique. I do think that there is a general coarsening of culture, and that American society is descending rapidly into a bottomless pit filled with lesser Kardashians and the caterwauling of American Idol rejects, all presented by a bunch of Ivy grads with contempt for the great unwashed that they exploit on their shows and the masses who find such exploitation entertaining.

So, I appreciate that Facebook is filled with idiots, dolts, victims and perpatrators alike -- my point was, does the general idiocy bother you, or the specific schmaltz poured put by those who have lost a loved one? If we allow drivel in general into our world, why complain about the Bard of Wilkes-Barre?

A Flower's Id sock would be redundant.

I think people who get irritated by this sort of thing misunderstand FAcebook completely. The mawkish, the pedestrian drama of the bourgeoisie is precisely what Facebook is for. It's the outlet for Everyman. If you're too cool for that (this is a jumping off point here, NB, not a full-frontal attack) stay the hell away.

Sure it is. I glid right by all your annoying sports shit and read your more interesting (to me) posts. Are you telling me that you honestly pay as much attention to everything SB posted about lunchboxes as you do to Penske's deranged ramblings about Obama?
