More like you are seeing a over representation of people who took it seriously. People who thought it was trolling only posted like one snide comment or not at all. People who did not realize it kept posting. But still it looks like most people knew it was trolling. Or at least did not take it seriously.

Well then I guess it went right over my head. Thank you for informing me; my faith in humanity has been restored, if only by a small amount.

I just realized most of my teachers have facebook.
They are almost like real humans :S

If having a facebook account is an attribute of "real humans," I don't want to be one.

+1. Never have, never will.

I have an FB account, although it is kind of abandoned, due to others spamming my news with FARMVILLE, CITYVILLE, WHATEVERVILLE and MAFIA WARS.

It got out of control, so I just left it be.

I'm pretty sure you can disable those.
Then again, I haven't been on Facebook since I made an account almost a year ago, so :|

Facebook is like hanging out with your friends, except your parents decided to come along and it's really awkward.

Also one of the reasons I left. Nosy parents are nosy.

Another email from a pissed customer

if I hear nothing back within 5 working days I have no choice but to contact my credit card company and report this as fraudulent activity again

Again? Why didn't you learn the first time?

[Gatleos]

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.

Oh God, yes. There's bad, there's Battlefield Earth bad, and then there's... this. These films, and shows, and games that, when you look at them make you wonder, "Why does this exist?"

You can never truly wrap your head around the fact that these things exist, let alone examine them in any detail. It is futile.

When I was born into the world, I didn't sign up for any of this crap. DAMN ACTA

I seem to be attracting shitty movies lately. Couple days ago it was "Alien Siege". Today I switch to random channel and it's airing some british zombie(?) flick called Doomsday. It's so sad, it thinks it's a good movie but it really isn't.

I was thinking about going to the cinema and watching either the new Mission Impossible or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. I'm not sure I'm going to bother now.

edit:

Doomsday was conceived by Marshall based on the idea of futuristic soldiers facing medieval knights.

I guess that sums it up alright. Haven't seen any medieval knights yet though. So far it seems like only punks, ravers and tattoo artists survived the plague.

Rant spoilered, feel perfectly free to ignore.

I don't have a problem with people having facebook pages, what I do have a problem with is that some people seem to think that not having one makes you less than human.  I suppose Facebook is the new equivalent to the soul now, which the people whose entire life's work is attempting to educate and better society apparently lack.
I'm not claiming that they're all perfect at it, or that they all even care about their students, but the majority of them took up a good amount of their life, at the very least, half as long as you have lived to learn the knowledge and how to at least attempt give it to you, not because they had to, but because they thought that they could help society, and some of the ones who don't care about their students anymore, the reason they stopped caring is because students treated the knowledge that they attempt to give them as worthless and treated them with disdain and acted like they're less than human. 
Disliking or complaining about a certain teacher or even several I can understand, but considering all teachers to be less than human is just wrong.

I'm sorry about this rant, but I have had enough of the direspect that teahers recieve.
I'm also sorry for any mispellings or choppy sentences, this entire thing was typed on my phone.
