Thoroughly Depressing Comics About Our Relationship to Facebook

FACEBOOK TO BEGIN CHARGING USERS $2.99/MO STARTING NOVEMBER 1ST, the headline read.

A friend — who is very active on Facebook with over 1,000 friends and numerous subscribers — had shared the article to her timeline. The response was swift and immediate.

Grief. Denial. Rage. Threats to move to other social networks.

Only then did an astute commenter point out that the article was a hoax; there was no need to panic.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of this incident when I came across these clever and powerful comics yesterday.

The truth hurts, doesn’t it?  😉

Top 10 Signs You (And Your Friends) Are Addicted to Candy Crush

Candy pieces dance around in front of your eyes as you drift off to sleep every night. You know which levels are the hard ones because of the sheer amount of people complaining about them (30, 35, 65. 97, and 98). That damn. Last. JELLY. You know which of your friends are slackers at work, and/or have too much free time on their hands, by their response times to your life requests and episode unlock requests.

NFL Quarterbacks on Facebook: Super Bowl XLVII Edition

You guys, the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl. My team was crowned the 2012-2013 NFL Champions. This may not seem like much to most people, but it’s a BIG FREAKING DEAL to someone whose two favorite teams (the Knicks and the Ravens) have yielded countless disappointments and heartaches for more than a decade.

So when the game clock ran down to zero with Baltimore still up by 3…

I cried. Seriously, I had tears in my eyes as I saw the purple and gold confetti rain down on the Ravens and watched them accept the Lombardi Trophy.

(In my defense, I had had an extremely trying week in the days leading up to the big game; I was overly emotional and awfully tired.)

Today I am still recovering from the poo sundae that was last week and the ridiculous excitement of last night’s win. So when J sent me this link to a pretend Facebook conversation between NFL quarterbacks, I literally LOLed (more than once!) and knew that I had to share it here.

I guarantee you’ll love it even if you’re not a Ravens fan — anyone with any sort of knowledge on the NFL is sure to get a laugh out of this!
