On Facebook "Gifts"

The gifts on Facebook piss me off. No way am I paying a dollar to give someone a "gift" that isn't even real. Who wants a nickel-sized digital gift they get, look at for two seconds, and go "aww....what a retard she should have just bought me candy."

I largely ignored these idiotic things until just a moment ago, when I clicked the "browse" link out of curiosity over what in the hell people were paying for. It was at that point that I wanted to cock-punch Mark Zuckerberg. They are apparently selling these stupid "gifts" in limited quantities. OH NO! There are ONLY 9,483 tissue boxes with a heart on them left! I better buy one for my BFF before they're sold out!

WTF. Way to create false demand.

And I love how the "proceeds" go to benefit breast cancer (or something). Explain to me how 99 cents of that dollar you spent on that isn't a proceed. No way did they pay someone so many thousands of dollars to design them, and no way does it cost thier processors so much in energy and computer-thinking so as to warrant giving any less than 99% of what they charge to charity.

To this I say bullshit! *spit!*

What else are these dumbasses going to come up with?!
