Another day, another opportunity to surf the endless array of Facebook Groups that are available to all members who use this wondrous social networking site. Today, the Groups are a little bit more random I feel, but at the same time they still depict the crazy and haphazard nature of Groups on Facebook. I will remind all who read this that I would really like to hear your feedback, so please don't hesitate to Contact The College Answers with a group that you might belong to or a funny or strange group that you have come across. Well enough of that and on to the real good stuff, two more groups to make fun of.
I would quote, buy and print the fuck out of Esurance Girl. (Found by searching the word "Print")
Hahahaha. If that isn't a catchy title, I certainly don't know what is. This entire group is attributed to the eSurance girl in the comic commercials. Apparently the creator of this group, Charlie Potts from Missouri, has a little bit of a crush on Erin (that's the name of the eSurance chick). He even has the Officer title of "Erin's man, not that douche in the commercial." Similar to the last group, there are over 200 members in this one, a total of 223 actually. Charlie Potts has also gotten a little pissed off recently. There is somewhat of a controversy brewing it appears, as he writes in the Recent News section:
It appears as though Chaz Baker, hailing from the NW Missouri network, has attempted to rip off this most definite original group. The groups main picture is of the eSurance girl standing, almost half naked with some skimpy leotard on that’s pulled practically all the way down, with her hand up motioning as though she wanted you to come over to her. It's pretty hot, if that’s your sorta thing. Some of the Related Groups are: When I was your age, Pluto was a planet., Man Law, and America vs. Canada - The count to one million. The Wall on this group has 19 posts, but the best definitely came last and is from our friend Vladimir Markizov, out of the Maine network. He said the following on July 31st, 2007 at 3:01am, "I still cant believe how much sexual tension there is in those commercials, I keep expecting them to start fucking right there on the tv." We all think the same thing Vlad...we all do.
Mix Tape are so 1990s (Found by searching "Tape." Located on the 7th page, 7 from the top)
This group happens to be a Global group so anyone can join it. The group is intended to be "Just for Fun - Totally Random," and who can blame them. This is really one of the most ridiculous things that over 200 people have agreed upon. The group has 235 members and there have been 53 wall posts (most recent one was June 13th, 2007) and 10 different discussion board topics (My favorite topic is Face Down, Ass Up?). The group provides the following description:
I know that I have a lot of good looking friends, and with good looks comes a great power and diverse taste in music. So I thought it would be sweet to have a sharing circle. Toss your favorite playlist, or new artist on here, or good free porn site, it all goes. Invite whomever, figure it would be a good way to hear about new music, and maybe touch each other sexually. Throw some ds on this bitch! If anyone knows or see any good shows/area rock concert post.
If you need to contact the group by e-mail you could try:
mixtapes.are.so.90s@gmail.com (I'm not sure if this works, but give it a shot if you're bored). They are based on Calgary, Alberta. I'm not sure if this is accurate or if they're just poking fun at Canada. It wouldn't surprise me. M bad...it appears as though the groups administrator, Robin Biagioni, is from Calgary. There I go assuming people are making fun of Canada. There are some interesting related groups in Mix Tapes are so 1990s, including: SAVE K-COUNTRY! Take action!, THEY ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN FACEBOOK - PETITION TO KEEP IT! INVITE ALL!, Colins Memorial, I Secretly Want To Punch Slow Walking People In The Back Of The Head, International Skip School Day. You got to give it up to that punching slow walking people in the head, I know I have. There is one picture in the group and it's a bootleg, Paint created picture that Leslie Mcneilly added. The picture is of a stick figure and in huge letters across the top it says, "Loser". The caption reads, "heres me at the girl talk show!" I guess that show sucked, because there was only one person in the audience. Pretty ridiculous group if you ask me, and there are a lot of people who are in it. Just shows you how strange people can be.
I'm so glad that people can come together and find obscure interests that the thought were special only to them, and meet hundreds of other people who enjoy the same thing. That’s the beauty of Facebook. Be sure to Contact Us with any ideas you might have. Come back tomorrow for some more analysis of ridiculous Facebook groups. Be smart. Be aware. Be the solution.
