			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every so often, just when I start thinking that it might actually be of some use, I spot some things that make me realise (again) what an utter pit of shite Facebook actually is. Here is this month&#8217;s collation of bull:</p>
<ul>
<li>Firstly we had <a href="http://whythatsdelightful.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/the-express-wins-the-race-to-the-bottom/">some gobshite Scottish journalist stalking the Dunblane Massacre survivors</a> (the link is to Graham Linehan&#8217;s exellent write up of the proceedings), followed by Tim Ireland&#8217;s <a href="http://www.bloggerheads.com/archives/2009/03/paula_murray_drinks.asp">revenge</a> on the stupid woman.</li>
<li>Next, we have a group titled &#8220;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=76540871928">Get Jon Venables and Robert Thompson Off Facebook</a>&#8220;. Here is a quote from the group:</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em>&#8220;Many visitors to GJV&amp;RTOF ask how can we be sure that they are on facebook.<br />
That is an interesting question. Our resident geek Billy has been doing some research:<br />
There are 11,171,540 UK users of facebook.<br />
Whilst I couldn&#8217;t find an UK users by age breakdown, there is a USA one.<br />
Of the USA facebook users, 4.47% are aged 25.<br />
Given the cultural and demographic similarities between the UK and USA (and the fact we have no UK based data) the only assumption we make is that ~4.47% of UK users are 25 years old<br />
4.47% of 11,171,540 is 499368<br />
Therefore, there are ~499368 25year old UK facebook users.<br />
According to the Office of National Statistics, there are approximately 650,000 25 year olds in the UK.<br />
(499368/650000)*100 = 76.82% of UK 25year olds have a facebook account.<br />
Therefore, if you take any given UK 25year old at random &#8211; there is a 76.82% chance he/she has a facebook account.<br />
Therefore there is a 76.82% chance that one of them are on facebook.<br />
76.82%*76.82% = 59.02% chance both of them are on facebook.<br />
These numbers are approximate, but even if these stats are as much as 10% off, we&#8217;re still talking a 50:50 chance.&#8221;</em>
</p>
<p style="padding-left: 60px;">So, you have no direct evidence? A career with the Daily Mail beckons&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Then we get a truck load of Jade Goody tribute groups (which are nothing like Rolling Stones tribute bands). You were the same people who wanted her hanged, drawn and quartered when she was just a stupid racist.</li>
<li>And finally, those people who say &#8220;<a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=54350527492">We will not pay to use Facebook anymore. We are gone if this happens</a>&#8221; &#8211; No you won&#8217;t be. You are sheep, and you&#8217;ve all fallen for some bullshit written by a bloke who comes up with this type of group from time to time.</li>
</ul>
<p>Rant over. Normal service will soon be resumed.</p>
<p>And to make sure that I&#8217;ve insulted everyone:</p>
<p>&#8220;Apparently its the worst accident in the history of aviation&#8230; A private light aircraft has crashed in a cemetary in Montana. Investigators have found over a thousand bodies.&#8221;</p>
