We know that all 500 million Facebook profiles are valid, just as we know that every freelance site on the internet isn’t really inundated with projects request begging for low paid 3rd world techs to create thousands of social networking profiles that will successfully evade detection. Of course that isn’t happening!

We also know that once a user clicks “Like” it is irrevocable and permanent, and indeed the moment it appears “it’s shared with all that person’s friends, at which point they’ll be compelled to click through” because everyone who uses Facebook is completely honest, obsessively reading every single status update posted by his friends, and a mindless slave to the opinions of every one of his perfectly legitimate and perfectly real “friends.”

Indeed. And I was born in 1985, too.

I wish they were true (would love to own and drive the Lamborghini). How many others are doing the same?
