Holy Hell in the last two weeks my eyes have been assaulted with pictures of a pile of euthanized cats “re post to expose what really goes on in shelters” (OK a good message to pass along even though everyone already knows and the least offensive of these images but really no need for the image) a couple douches hanging a dog “re post and let’s catch these animal abusers” (um except god knows how old this picture is, where in the world it was taken and the fact that the law doesn’t give a shit about animal abuse) pictures and a graphic detailed description of some poor Asian girl who was tortured for 44 days “re post so she is never forgotten” (ummm you think that is respectful? No it’s disgusting you morbid motherfuckers it’s a way for you to get a cheap thrill and then re post while saying tut tut how sad like thinking you’re doing something kind) and most offensive of all, some made up bullshit story about a mother beating her daughter to death because she said she painted her mothers sheets and then her mother sees she wrote mommy I love you “re post if you are against child abuse” complete with a picture of a 2 year old with her face all messed up and a huge gash with stitches. First off THAT’S SOMEBODY’S ACTUAL KID probably the victim of a car accident judging by the slice across her face with about 20 stitches, she didn’t look beaten. How dare somebody use that image in that way and how dare people re post that shit of-motherfucking-course we are all against child abuse you fucking losers. I hope the family of that poor girl finds a way to sue every dipshit that kept that picture going. Don’t tell me to block them or stick my head in the sand because this bitch isn’t about my own personal feelings towards seeing this shit it’s about how stupid these jackasses are to think they are helping by posting shock images. —If You Want to Help Donate Time or Money to Your Cause

  2. Posting and reposting this stuff helps some people feel they are doing something, when in their real life, they don’t do anything.
    Not everyone, but a lot.
    I scroll by. Watching me read Newsfeed on FBook is like watching the yellow lines disappear underneath your car on the highway.

  3. It is an information highway…..this shit really does go on and making people aware of what actually goes on in the world has to start somewhere.
    Just because you don’t like the message doesn’t mean they are untrue or mean these things aren’t happening…what’s that saying…Out of sight out of mind.
    The media doesn’t cover everything

    Raise awareness…

  6. Yuck. Someone has been posting a starved and overbred mama dog photo on my page (I blocked it) but you sound like you’ve got a lot of sentimental mushy-assed fb friends!
    I also hate ‘the repost if you agree’ shit, like that will make magic happen.
    (BTW, I am not heartless -the starving bitch story is over a year old and was first reported in my local paper-the person who posted it lives across the country and the story just got there, I guess)

  12. I did see the dog being hanged photo and it just ruined my day. Luckily I have a small FB list so I only saw it the one time. I used to ‘like’ Rescue Ink on FB but I had to block their posts because I couldn’t handle all of the animal abuse they talked about. I did enjoy the ones where they were successfully rehabilitating abused animals but it just wasn’t worth my sanity.

  14. Jesus H Murphy! If I have to read one more fucking bitch about Facebook I think I’m going to scream.
    Look! The internet has endless amounts of information. Some of it tasteful, some of of it tasteless. Some of it true, some of it false. (SHOCK! GASP! DISMAY!) It is also a playground of many unsrupulous, deceitful, dishonest crooks, hackers, anarchists and all round shit disturbers, just to name a few. It has been this way since it’s inception and will probably be that way until they somehow devise a way of policing it, (which I can’t see happening personally, but that’s another bitch). The mere fact that you are bitching about something on the internet being offensive or crude and bitching out the fucktards that spread it is FUCKING RIDICULOUS!! I’m sick of you idiots! Holy jumpin’ dyin’ fuck! That’s like complaining because the sky is blue. The difference being, in this case, there is a very simple and solution to the problem….DELETE YOUR FACEBOOK! Fucking brilliant! So easy, so effective. Either that or put some restrictions in place so you don’t get this shit coming across your page. Jesus wept, this pisses me off! The next time you feel like bitching about something so bloody asinine and completely pointless, just don’t. Please. For the love of God. You’re wasting your time. Save yourself the effort and spare us the boredom. Go to Shoppers, go to the ‘Life’ section and fucking BUY ONE! Arrrrgh!

  17. Fuck you.

    I reposted the cat picture and now i can’t go near my facebook because it traumatized the fuck out of me and i haven’t been the same for days after seeing that photo.

    The reason i reposted it was because i felt it needed to be seen. Where that photo was taken or why has nothing to do with it. We’re all painfully aware of what happens to many “beloved” pets when the new wears off.

    I didn’t post it to get a cheap thrill. I posted it as ONE of MANY efforts i make to help disenfranchised animals INCLUDING (you self righteous fuckwit) donating money to Bide Awhile and other no kill shelters, helping to rehome strays in my neighbourhood.

    I don’t know about these other things because I don’t repost those. But the issue of idiots adopting, then turning away their animals is not some paranoid fantasy blown out the asshole of conspiracy theory. It is a sad and shocking reality.

    If you don’t like it, ignore it. Don’t try to manipulate people into thinking YOU’RE the one in the right by using ridiculous phrases like “burying my head in the sand” to describe the very rational and adult practice of ignoring things you don’t like.

    Grow up. It’s facebook. Get a job.

  19. And besides.. who the fuck are you, the stupidity police? I find that rather hard to swallow. If you wish to live in a world of censorship, why not move to China or Tennessee? People can say what they want. Nobody gives a shit about conforming to your standards of censorship anymore than they give a shit to conforming to mine or anyone else’s.

    Yes. 90% of those activism posts are annoying. No. There’s nothing you can do about it.

  20. Ok guys this is my bitch posted at 4 am from my iPhone sorry about the lack of structure.
    I love my facecrack and there is no “block disturbing shit” button. I have a small fb list and it’s not the same people posting this crap or I would delete the offender.
    I’m not saying this stuff isn’t out there or that we should ignore it. I’m saying people repost to make themselves feel/look good and to have something scandalous to discuss. Like when someone dies and everyone that was ever in the sane room as them suddenly was their best friend and puts RIP so and so in their status every day.
    Facebook is not the issue it just happens to be where the offenses occur, if it wasn’t Facebook we would just be back to chain emails and instant messages.
    I just think some things like what exactly happened to that woman, and the pictures of her mutilated body are nobody’s fucking business. I think misery loves company and people are re posting this stuff for the wrong reasons and I called out every one of the posters on the images and they all apologized. Just think before you post “is this in good taste? Is this helping anyone? Is this fact?” if the answer is no don’t repost.
    I don’t expect consideration from the general masses on the www but I do expect it from people I consider my friends. I hate to delete family and school friends or co workers but if this shit keeps up I will consider it 🙁

  21. And Kramer I clearly said the cat one is the most valid and least obscene and is actually good information.
    My cats are adopted and I love them. I can appreciate the message and still be turned off by the sight if a pile of dead cats, what animal lover wouldn’t?
    Not everyone needs to see a jarring image to give a shit about a cause and those who do are just fad supporters jumping on the bandwagon until something more shocking comes along. It’s a piss poor tactic to make a real difference.

  42. A two year cannot write anything, I found the whole story BS< I hate all those posts ridiculous, people love misery. "Oh watch this and you will cry" I do not want to cry I want to laugh or feel positive.. your not doing nothing for society by passing it around, I think everyone is aware of animal and child abuse and breast cancer and all the other miseries of the world..

  43. “I love my facecrack and there is no “block disturbing shit” button”

    Actually there is. There’s a little button on the side of the newsfeed updates that allows you to “unsubscribe” from someone’s updates. I had to use it a few times because all the new moms I know have this annoying tendency to overload their facebook with baby photos and annoying fucking comments about how cute their ugly children are.

  44. I find most facebookers are extremely annoying.

    They update their status like they are on a freaking reality TV show……..”I’m doing my dishes, and listening to music LOL”

    good grief! I don’t give a shit!

  45. Oooooor those who write constant updates about their kids. And have them as their profile pic instead of themselves.

    It’s pathetic.

  46. I find the people that repost this shit are generally old or just a little soft in the head. I fucking hate the ones like “diabeetus is bad! let’s raise awareness [??] by reposting this if you agrees diabeetus is bad and not good!!1 I know the ones who will! GNARRR diabetus.”
    I was actually really offended recently when someone posted one about cancer, like cancer is going to get a real fucking blow to the heart if I change my facebook status for an hour. Having watched a number of people suffer and die from cancer, that type of shit makes my blood boil. It’s often someone that I like otherwise, though, so I pretty much have to stew in silence. EXCEPT HERE

  51. I agree with everything Mole Rat said. It both drives me nuts and makes me laugh when people think a Facebook status is somehow going to change things for the better or produce some magic cure. It’s not spreading awareness even if it’s viral.

  70. Admiral IS…I like kittens…in chowder.
    I wouldn’t mind a nice light orange sauce with fried cat & rice for supper tonight, but I’d have to fly to Asia & see my brother & go out to a resturant to get it.
    His mother in law , has made him traditional dishes, some with dog in them, but he’s never mentioned if she’s prepared cat. Although he has said its available in some of the local resturants.

    But seriously, I have no problem with cats & I see a black & white neighbors cat just about daily around my place, I’ve never harmed it or even said a cross word at it…I just can’t understand why you would want one in your home.
    I don’t get the attraction of waking up late at night for a call of nature & walking in a pile of hairball puke !
    I don’t get & have never been able to understand the attraction of having a box of sand or other ‘dirt’ in my home so a cat can piss & shit in it !
    Sorry , I guess that makes my a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad person. But I just refuse to live like that .

    “Horses for Courses”, Mr. More. To each his own. I’d never hurt one, but I DO NOT like Chihuahuas – primarily because my in-laws had one. An insipid, quivering, yappy, little rat-on-a-rope that they created a whole cult of personality around. I know it’s wrong to judge an entire breed on the basis of one toxic example. I suppose that makes me a baaaaaaaaaaad person, too.
    Certainly in the eyes of my in-laws, it does >; )

  73. Yeah, except for the colour that’s about it Painey. A couple of years after *Poncho* (name changed to protect the innocent) met his match, you know, on the desert down in Mexico – they aquired a couple of obese things that must have been a mix with some stocky, low slung breed ,like corgi – perhaps. These 2 were the exact opposite, they craved human affection and sat at your feet looking up at you with long suffering eyes as if their ordeal could only be remedied if some kind soul bestowed upon them just a little bit of love. Them, I liked. At one point in time, one set of my parent’s neighbors had some kind of miniscule, frenetic little punt-dog that used to come racing through the hedge whenever my Dad was in the yard. Surprisingly enough, the Old Man came to like the wee beastie, even though if she were a trout , you’d feel obliged to throw her back.
    It all comes down to personality, I guess.
    But, yeah,like someone said earlier, Dad & I are proud members of that League of Exraodinary Curmudgeons who prefer the company of Cats & Dogs to that of most people we encounter.

    Ah yes Chief Dan George in “Little Big Man”. Whatever happened to him? That’s right he died.

    Speaking of Wilfred Brimley, wasn’t he the crazy scientist that locked himself in the storage shed in the “The Thing” 1982 version so he wouldn’t get infected? He didn’t go the way of Chief Dan did he?
