The video is hysterical though. Glad that Facebook at least directed me to your blog. It’s sad, really, that online social networking allows for deviant behavior that would not be tolerated IRL.

Then on the other side like sometimes you approve people just because you don't want to deal with being a dick about it. Thats what my myspace account is basically for. All the dumbass losers I never want to talk to, but they are my virtual friends for some reason. A few of these people I would beat if I actually saw them in person. My only disappointment with the video is that the dude wasn't asked to take a survey then given all the lame questions about harassing all of his friends to take it and posting a giant sign in his front yard about the survey and if they could also have a copy of your house and car keys.
