I was struck by an odd thought whilst observing the incessant churning of the Facebook news-feed the other day. Don't get me wrong, I am not completely against social networks. I, like so many other people, seem to spend an embarrassing amount of time on them while not achieving very much. But they do...grind my girdle every so often - what with the over-saturation of women in the kitchen jokes, the format changing at LEAST every couple of weeks, privacy issues, etc. But it occured to me, that it would be an interesting experiment to create a profile, have it completely public, and use it as a platform to be obnoxiously/deliberately/annoyingly boring. A mocking of our social condition, but all in good fun.
Like, a status would be: 'Oh, look at that boulder. That is a niiiiice boulder'. Complemented by an appropriate picture.
Or, 'Just watching the grass grow!!!'
Or, other status updates like:
- My sharpener broke.
- This white paint is drying much quicker than the blue paint.
- Just ate dinner.
- Trying to work out how many watts are in my light bulb.
- Golf.
Shiz-nizzle like that...but CONSTANTLY. ALL THE TIME. SATURATING PEOPLE'S NEWS FEED. People would be soooooo into this.
...
Oh dear, I need better ideas.
