Pfft. The guy seems like the oversensitive antisocial type. Most people are happy to keep in touch with family, friends and acquaintances. Only teenage girls and self-absorbed weirdos would view Facebook exclusively as an ego-boosting device.
"I'm not judging you, " he says. Yeah right. He just said we sound like bus window lickers. Then at the end of the vid said he expected less of our attention span.
"You're all beautiful people that are much more wonderful in person". As if Facebook and real life are mutually exclusive.
As well intentioned as that video was, it came off pretty bad. Though it would have been much more acceptable had it been the work of a 12-year-old girl, addressed to her self-conscious, status-absorbed peers. |

Yeah, basically everything he says applies to Uni Jocks and younger.
I've yet to post a single post with Lols or rmlao or whatever, or anything about my personal life or how I feel.
Everyone knows making someone a 'friend' on facebook doesn't actually mean they are a friend. It just means they are acknowledged. If anything facebook should just think of a new word for it. I have family, work people, people that will possibly be useful or ones that are simply interesting. Adding to 110. Oh, and friends.
It proved an invaluable tool at uni, when trying to keep in touch with people when I needed people to recite, rehearse and perform my music in concerts etc, or just events that are happening in Korea. And birthdays, I suppose, but I never say happy birthday to people on facebook, personally.
Last time someone complained that I didn't, they got removed. |

I like this. Cause no one says happy birthday on facebook personally.
The default privacy settings aren't private at all. That's the one thing that gets my goat.
Otherwise it's a great way to keep track of people.
And farmville. That's the shit alright.
That dude in the video was pretentious, and he was judging people. And he looked way too tormented.
Someone should tell him that acknowledging something isn't enough to make it insignificant. |

What is this artsy douchebag doing nerding up Korea?
I don't like facebook either because it's girly, but that video was just gay.
I'm sick of hipsters. Most of them love facebook though, don't they? They put up photos of their ironic costume nights or their gay little art shows or whatever the hell it is that they do.
Also, what's with the contrived tortured soul look? You'd think he just came back from fighting in Chechnya or something, but he's really just an upper middle class university grad who wets the bed sometimes. |

I have never seen the purpose of facebook, my space or any other 'social' website. They do not do anything that e-mail or real mail can't do except open yourselves up to attacks by less than savory people. |

| A 'turbospaz'? Is that what all the cool kids are saying now? Made through less than a minute of that rubbish, quite proud of myself actually. |

| I didn't notice he was in Korea before the "English teacher in Korea" poster. Then I noticed everyone around him was Korean and he was standing in front of the CGV. I guess I failed at awareness. The video has a decent mood, but a "meh" content. |

| This guy's face really annoyed me. Every time he sniffled or licked his finger to turn the page I wanted to puke. Cringe. |

| How about I do what I like to and this guy sticks his signs up his pretentious not-allowed-to-say-on-Dave's-hole. |

| Shit, If only there was a tool you could use that could get your video to a massive amount of people for free and within seconds. |
I understand some of the fb hate, but its whatever. use it to keep in touch with friends and family or add a million random people, who cares really |

I think Facebook is a fantastic tool to keep in touch with people, network and also promote/keep up with events, etc.
Nonetheless, I thought the video was entertaining and clever. Actually, I found it quite heartfelt. It was sweet. ~.~ Anyway, that's my opinion. |

| He seems to have a problem keeping the cards from blowing around in the wind. Do you think he borrowed the poster paper at his hagwon to make them? |
