The “Others” on Facebook: 7 Things You Must Know

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Facebook is for the vain, glorifying self promoters who want everyone to know just how special they are via cyberspace. LOL, jk, lmfao, smh, lls, jkjk, omg, but every jest has an ounce of truth.

Facebook Me Cufflinks

Some people that graze this social network just get on our nerves and we wonder why. Is it because we really don’t want to know that much about someone whom we haven’t seen in eight years? Or is it the ruthless pseudo-farming, gaming, and obscure requests that fill our inbox daily?

Will you feed my chickens? Lend a nail for my barn? Harvest my crops?

We are all guilty of being an annoying “friend” on facebook, flaunting our victories, rarely posting our defeats, and only posting the best pictures of ourselves, making sure our profile hides the semi-belly you’ve grown since highschool that is not, (I repeat, is not) a baby bump, and probably just the result of beer binges or frequent happy hours where you’ve gotten a little too happy, you beer monster, you…

Beer Monster Cufflinks

Let’s start with things we love:

1. Contrary to popular opinion, we DO like good news and pretty pictures. If you just won the lottery, we want to know, so we can call and “catch up.” If you are suddenly a raging beauty when, ten years ago, we couldn’t stand to look at you…we want to know! (Again, so we can “catch up”… and see if you are single). So if you now resemble Venus, by all means, send us a message…or give us a poke.

2. We love it when you post something interesting/educational/inspiring. Anything from the New York Times normally counts as pretty cool, not only because of the material, but we don’t even have to do the research ourselves for the latest breaking news in the science world. Yes, I’d like to know what’s going on in Egypt right now and what the President said in his speech last night…

3. Music videos from artists we’ve never heard of (so we can go illegally download the song immediately) or practically any video that makes us laugh, giggle, think, reminisce, etc. Just please, don’t go posting ten videos a day because then it’s just…obnoxious.

Cool music is always welcome. Like this awesome song by The Knife:

Things we don’t like

1. Leave the relationship drama for the bedroom…or the front door, or the mall. Not on an abstract wall that people view and can comment on. Just please.

2. This might have come up in another blog, but I have to reiterate: GRAMMAR. It’s so sad to see that someone, whom you’ve admired or somewhat liked (even as a friend) doesn’t know the difference between “to” and “too” and “their, there, they’re” and countless other grammatical errors that swamp this elicit site. You are judged. Not by your pictures, but by your words. Chose carefully friends. Poke j/k lmfao omg jkjkjkjk…really.

3. Bathroom pictures. Oh geesh, if you don’t have friends to take your picture, at least stand in front of something interesting, instead of a doorway with a mirror reflecting your hemorrhoid cream and toilet bowl. We do not want to see the contents of your bathroom and you shouldn’t be taking your phone in the bathroom anyways: germ central. Just nasty.

You’re a Pig Cufflinks

4. Posts about what YOU ARE EATING. People do not care, nor do they like to read, about the contents of your diet. it’s just plain ridiculous. “Mmm, eating Chipotle.” “Grubbing on some chocolate cake” “Taco bell for lunch. nom nom”

Hamburger Sandwich Cufflinks: you know you’re hungry…

If you post this kind of stuff, restaurant chains should start paying you for advertising. And not to mention it makes others hungry, specifically me.

American Idol’s New Judges Wear Cufflinks?

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011

It’s about the music, right? American Idol Season 10 is beckoning to be a hit this season. With 37 million viewers in the premiere episode, we think maybe…style had something to do with it?

Piano Blues Mother of Pearl Cufflinks, Daniel Dolce

Of course Jenny from the Block has a better taste in wardrobe since her days from way back in the Bronx and Steven Tyler’s makeup job is much better than Ryan Seacrest’s, but really, style is just as important as singing. JLo said so herself in the first episode, “it’s about the package.” And not Steven Tyler’s package..

Ed Hardy Love Kills Slowly Square Cufflinks

In addition to botox and spanx, we think some cufflinks can add a little something to this season. For rock star icon Steven Tyler, these Ed Hardy rocker cufflinks would work well with his cleaned up look and overly large mouth. For Mrs. Jlo (oh, and contestants cannot call her JLo or Jenny. Tis forbidden), some star studded cufflinks would look nice if she ever sports a blazer this season. She rarely covers up, but a more polished professional side would be refreshing to see…she is 41, isn’t she??

Jenny’s “Bling” at Cufflinksman

Poor girl, doesn’t realize how old she is, but she does have some style to talk about. In case you don’t know what style can do for you, here’s a closer look:

As for Randy, he always has it going on. The oversized, black rimmed glasses are juxtaposed nicely with his reverberating “yo yo’s.” Yo, yo dawg cufflinks would be right up his…dog alley.

And Ryan Seacrest…we have made these Slap Tickle Cufflinks by Sonia Spencer available for you anytime, because, we know what you’re about…wink wink

Stay tuned to find out who else made it to Hollywood and if Steven Tyler lands one of the those 16 year olds before they get kicked off!
