Yes, you read that correctly. The founder of Facebook’s founder is letting everyone who’ll listen know that he is Mark Zuckerberg’s dad.

Facebook has been hailed as one of the great tools in Human History. It’s brining people closer, creating lasting relationships and strengthening the ties between us.

Your buddy calls you up and asks if you want to join him and 32 others to stand around in your underwear on the three fifteen to Blackheath. Says he read about it on Facebook. You tell him to go screw himself, right? Wrong. You ask him what colour boxers he’ll be wearing because you take Facebook very, very seriously.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: drunk Facebooking ruins lives.
Thankfully the good people at Webroot Software have seen the urgent need to curb this scourge of humanity.

Facebook founder, Sean Parker, has donated $100,000 in support of California’s Proposition 19. Proposition 19 being the controversial measure than Californians will vote on next month which will decide whether or not to legalise marijuana.
Justin Bieber, the runt who says he’s the Kurt Cobain of our generation, published his memoirs at age 15 and has discovered the only hairstyle that can actually ruin my day has been kicked off Facebook. Wait, what?
You know when you click on someone’s profile on Facebook to leave a weird little comment on their wall only to find out that you have been unfriended, ya it’s an awesome feeling. But there is generally a reason. A new study gives the 5 reasons you might have been unfriended.
With the movie The Social Network coming out next month, Facebook really is the talk of the town. Or talk of the earth, I should rather say. The excitement relating to Facebook is largely to do with the speed at which its grown in such a short time. It is relatively new in our lives. […]

I know my inbox is going to regret opening this Facebook can of worms, but they really are very amusing.
