Parody or irony?
Caustic article on Facebook in the guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/jan/14/facebook?gusrc=rss&feed=technology
The article opens...
"I despise Facebook. This enormously successful American business describes itself as "a social utility that connects you with the people around you". But hang on. Why on God's earth would I need a computer to connect with the people around me?"
So let me get this straight, someone is writing on an internet site a article being read by people around the world "Why on God's earth would I need a computer to connect with the people around me?"
So is that self parody or unintended irony?
My second thought is that I want to meet Peter Thiel.
Have any of you all met him?
