Truly stupid Facebook status updates

One of my favorite newsweeklies, The Week, has a weekly competition where they solicit various entertaining submissions on goofy name ideas or lists.



A few weeks ago, highlighting the crazy case of some Australian kids Facebook-status’ing that they’d fallen into a well or something like that, they asked for some other ideas of truly stupid Facebook updates.



Well, I submitted a handful… but clearly the editor of this contest lacks good taste, ‘cause she didn’t pick any of mine :(.  So, for your edification, I’ve included them below :-D



—-

1) “OMG, I can’t believe my stupid teacher is reading my Facebook feed!”

2) “Honey, I think I might be pregnant. Is it yours?!”

3) “Having sex. BRB in a minute.”

4) “Honey, could you please get the remote for me? I’m in the bedroom.”

5) “OMG, DID I JUST POST THAT? THOUGHT IT WAS SEARCH BOX! HELP!”

6)  “My darling Jennifer, will you marry me?”

7) “How do I post a status update?”

8) “Unsubscribe!”

9) “I am Mobutu Rumppole, a Nigerian Prince…”

10) “Just got spider bite. Fingers swelling pretty bad, hardto type, any ideas on what I sh”

  9. Fricken Hilarious!  I still don’t understand why so many people want to tell the world what their doing.  So making people laugh makes sense to me.
