Hatebook is an anti-social utility that connects you with the people YOU HATE. The Facebook parody provides (temporary) misanthropes with a place to air grievances about everything they hate. Surprisingly, I came across references to this site reading the Chinese magazine, Yazhouzhoukan (亚洲周刊).
If you need to learn some English vulgarities / profanities, this is definitely the site for you. Listed on the front page of the site, are the following ‘services’ which will be provided to you after you sign up:
- Upload blackmail material or publish lies – Got a Tammy video of your enemy you wanna upload?
- Get the latest gossip from your enemies and friends – Now you can tell the world just what you think about that arsehxle in public with nothing to fear!
- Post photos and videos on your hate profile – Parodies of another person’s favorite video, anyone?
- Tag your friends – What? You actually have friends on Hatebook and they haven’t yet backstabbed you?
- Get hate points from disturbing people who live, study, or work around you – Polite hatred at its best!
- Take over the world – Every geeks’ secret dream!
And if you need to know more, you can read more about it here.
So, just why am I talking about Hatebook now? Because:
- I am kriffing sick of everyone asking me if I use Facebook. It doesn’t make one a caveman simply because he doesn’t use it.
- I am kriffing sick of the hype. As if the iPod, iPhone, iMac hype from MacFreaks and Apple-cum-Jobs ball-lickers aren’t bad enough already? Frankly, Facebook will be just that ‘best thing’ until the next one comes around. Consider what had gone before… Friendster, Hi5, Wayn, Tagged… * yawn *
- It’s kriffing irritating when you play your blasted Facebook games inside it and then talk about it on MSN or the ping.sg shoutbox.
Damn, on second thoughts, maybe I should really sign up to Hatebook. Perhaps I can even find some ‘friends’ who all hate Xiasuay and do some communal flaming together without smearing my blog with that accursed name…
so-so> LOL… for me Facebook will just be another site with another account to login. And if most of my geeky friends can’t be bothered in the first place… I find no reason to as well.
cc> you wanna make love with who?
make love, not hate…..
Some lady asked if I know Facebook, and she does not look too geeky to me. OK, I am into IT but it does not mean I have to do every damn IT things under the sun.
I told her Facebook offers no economic value to me. My social activities are with real human beings in the flesh.
