1. It's Blue and Square. It's a design cliche. Facebook is like BHS. Disgustingly Middle Class. At least myspace lets you give people seizures in choosing your own layout.

2. Facebook is owned by same people responsible for Paypal. Charging them with War Crimes isn't enough. Nuke them asap. The Satan sperm-chugging swines.

3. It forces you to trade privacy for faux popularity. The ultimate confidence trick. Hitler and Stalin would have been the most popular profiles on Facebook at one time. Think about it.

4. Facebook shows adverts that would shame most viagra salesmen. This filters into your subconscious. Aren't you getting enough adverts in your life already fellow consumer?

5. It allows people who shouldn't meet, to meet, and then you feel compelled to explain why you don't like cats to some agent who spells 'what' as 'wut'.

6. Facebook encourages stalking and online harassment. In fact, that's the most fun you can have with the crappy thing, creeping around with a false profile ona wind-up.

7. It doesn't let you delete your account. Ever. Facebook might as well give you a section 4 on signup "everything you write can and will be used against you at a later date".

8. Facebook owns everything you upload to them. Don't believe it? Sorry, check the TOS, and remember to read contracts you sign up to in future.

9. It violates millions of peoples privacy daily, Facebook makes it easy to upload photos with people, whom might not really want their face on the internet. No-one ever checks first either.

10. Facebook sends you a million messages, and makes you click a million boxes to stop the  million different types of messages it sends. Your fingers and your inbox deserve better.

11. It encourages all the worst aspects of E-business. Facebooks market capitalisation is a disgusting figure, based only in hype, when the bomb drops and the food runs low... the solution ain't going to be online. Therefore it represents the worst aspects of capitalistic gang-banging that bears no relation to the real world.

12. Facebook applauds a quantity of friendship over a quality of friendship. It makes typed words appear to some as 'contact' and gives social anxiety suffers false hope, when they really need, a good kick up the arse.

13. It encourages addiction in certain groups of people whom otherwise would lurk in IRC chatrooms. Facebook is in fact, the world's biggest, #teen room. Facebook indeed needs it's own 'Sarah's Law'.

14. Facebook is attempting to market itself as some kind of productivity increasing software for business. No longer do you need an intranet for your business, just start a facebook group, so all your secret communications are accessible by another dodgy company. Clever.

15. It is the social network of choice for the BNP. Even worse, the labour party are beginning to catch on, scary. Facebook + Politics = Hell on Earth. Fast.

16. Facebook doesn't have the balls to own up to it's advertising based business model. They call advertising "sharing". Suppose that makes stalking "caring" then.

17. It has no qualms about littering your profile with advertisements, nor, basing it's advertisements on your profile data. Facebook makes Google look like it has class.

18. Facebook is run by Peter Thiel whom has close links to the American Neo-con movement. His philosophy makes Margaret Thatcher look compassionate by comparison.

19. Thiel believes it's possible for mankind to conquer nature. Facebook makes people forget about the world outside, and believe it's actualy possible to "Feed an African child with just one click!". Pathetic.

20. Facebook either makes you love it or hate it so much, that you either spend all your time playing with stupid applications that spam your 'so-called' friends, or make silly lists as to why it needs to be destroyed.

21. It's very much against the Data Protection Act. Facebook follows no law but it's own concerning data protection. Caveat Emptor.


For more reasons to hate Facebook and pray for it's destruction see:

9/10 Facebook Addicts fail in their first Year of abstinence.

It's like pixelated crack corrupting our culture. It must end.

We will attack it with sarcasm, ridicule, and impersonations of a million Jimmy Savilles.

We will also heretoforwards be refferring to it as "FarceBook".

Thanks for reading
