Jealous? I read it on the Internet
Jealous? I read it on the Internet
Do you drool or growl when you read or see your friend had a whirlwind vacation? Do you ask how they can afford to go to these fancy places and do amazing things? Never fear, there is an app for that. A Nebraska-based business bolsters social media pages with expertly faked photos of the user on vacations they never took. Starting at $19.99 you can superimpose photos of you in front of famous vacation spots like Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Hawaii and Walt Disney World. The packages also include some facts about each destination to help the customer concoct the story of their fake vacation. The company cited a study saying half of Millennials have lied about vacations for social media recognition.
I’ve given up social media for the New Year and am trying to make friends outside Facebook while applying the same principles. Every day, I walk down the street and tell passersby what I’ve eaten, how I feel, what I did the night before, and what I will do tomorrow. Then I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and me gardening. I also listen to their conversations and tell them I love them. And it works. I already have three people following me—two police officers and a psychiatrist.
I invented Twofacebook, the anti-social network. You start being friends with the entire world and then unfriend people one at a time.
Some people should consider having multiple Facebook accounts to go along with their multiple personalities.
