Seriously, drop some weight.
I suppose if I were a fat person, and my Facebook page was constantly telling me that, I’d get upset too. But I actually find the hyper-targeted ads on Facebook (and in Gmail, when I was using the web version of that) to be kind of a relief. (It sure beats the nonstop barrage of phony “hot girl webcam” ads for dating sites on MySpace.)
Facebook has taken some heat for featuring ads that seem like they are directly insulting users, so they’ve removed a few of the more overtly offending ones and added a Pandora-esque “thumbs up, thumbs down” feature so you can stop that one annoying ad from constantly appearing.
Now all that’s left is to sit back and watch the public outcry over the new Facebook design, the new Facebook movie (penned by Aaron Sorkin, a genius who admits he doesn’t know anything about Facebook), and whatever else people can find to complain about…

A facebook movie? What, is it going to be hours of footage of people tending their l’il green patches? Sounds riveting.
