Dear Facebook,

Facebook

Who died and made you in charge of what are legitimate names? I didn't want to sign up for your stupid collegy thing anyway, but Foresman sent me this stupid link and grumble mcgrumbley grumble.

Anyway, I'm now EF Gerdes on Facebook. If you wanna, what the hell do they call it, Face me or whatever.

Comments

Ok, that shit was funny. I'd love to see their database of illegitimate names.

Evidently, it includes the word 'the'.

Facebook still lets me have "Disco Gerdes" as my name without question. It's either because my @cmu.edu email address is actually "disco" or because their cleansing algorithm hasn't made it to me yet. I still find facebook kind of annoying. It tries to tell me too much about my friends and also tries to tell my friends too much about me. 'Course, I have all the feed stuff turned off now. I liked it when it was just CMU people who could see me.
