to hate all these copy and paste status updates about the riots on FB

[DuelingFanjo]

Facebook is evil yadda yadda...

but these stupid status updates really make my teeth itch..

"If you live in areas affected by riots could you look out for your elderly and disabled neighbours? They may be to scared to go to shops for food etc, and are possibly scared in their homes. Just pop in and see if they are ok or need anything. Please re-post to your friends and places where you think it will be seen by lots of people. Thanks."

and

"Dear God, please keep and the people of safe from the spate of meaningless riots currently sweeping the country. Lets, hope that they take pride in themselves and their country and set an example to others.........REPOST TO OTHER PEOPLE!!! aint ther enough crap going on in this world u wanna fight go fight 4 your country ???"

aarrrggghhh

I've just got one up confirming we're unscathed... for the benefit of my geographically challenged mother for whom anything south of about Hull may as well be marked "here be dragons" on the map... just in case she thinks we're right next to London or any of her other usual outbreaks of "interesting" geography.

Swear if one friend puts one more badly spelt rant up about how they're all scum and bright idea for what to do with them, while sat in a town completely unaffected by it all - she might be getting nuked though. Mainly cos I can't stand five updates an hour in text speak.

Haven't seen any copy-paste one yet though.
