I love twitter, but somehow “all the action is on facebook“! And even though I promised myself I’ll stop collecting these facebook groups, here am I again with another list – some of the groups that request you to join them so that they may show you who-knows-what picture of some celebrity, or other inciting / exciting pictures/videos. Guess what: if you check out the wall of such groups, most of the people say that it’s a scam(and still, these groups have more than 100.000 fans/group members….). To see all this/to enjoy what they promise you, you need to become a fan! And there are tens of thousands of people who liked this + many “comments” – when u click to see who are these people, many of them don’t exist! Anyways, here’s a short list of these groups:
- This Is How Google Looked 10 Years Back – Eeeks;
- 1 out of 100 People Have This Special Ability but DON’T KNOW IT! – you have to become a fan and then you can see what they’re talking about!
- I NEVER Thought A Monkey Could Do This! You HAVE TO See This – and there’s a fan button and a link
- Its 100% Possible Now To See Every 1 WHO VEIWS YOUR PROFILE – RIIIIGGGGHT! Only if you join you can see this(and you won’t actually see…)
- 97% of people fall asleep instantly after seeing this video;
- This must be the FUNNIEST answer you could put on a FINAL EXAM!
- THIS HAS TO BE THE FUNNIEST FACE EVER!!! (MUST SEE!)
- WOW Latest Harry Potter Movie Script Left Unattended!!!!
- SEE WHO’S VIEWING YOUR PROFILE NOW!
- BIGGEST FORMSPRING FAIL EVER!! WOW
- Teenager committed SUICIDE because of THIS status update – Leaked from 2008
- I Can’t Believe She Wrote This As Her STATUS!
- I CAN’T BELIEVE LADY GAGA USED TO LOOK NORMAL
- I Can’t Believe Jay z & Beyonce’s Daughter Would Look Like This!!!
To counterbalance the issue, since many figured this out, there are hundreds of groups that basically say “don’t join the groups that tell u to join to see a certain picture!” – kind of false affirmations, if u ask me, since you say: don’t join those groups, but join mine! Anyways, check these out:
- I hate them groups that you have to join to see the picture
- Join if you got FOOLED by a “Become a fan to see picture” fan page
- i’m tired of pages you have to become a fan of to see a picture;
- I just wanna slap whoever started “Become a fan to see picture”;
- Official Petition To BAN! ‘Become A Fan To See The Picture’ Pages;
- Getting tired of the ”Become a fan to see the picture”CANT WE JUST SEE IT;
- ‘Become a Fan to see this picture’ … ‘No thanks mate’;
- Join if the new ‘Become a fan to see the picture’ pages are pissing you off;
- petition to get all the ” become a fan to see pic” groups deleted forever;
- Official Petition to Block the “Become a Fan to see the Picture” Pages!
- Petition to block the “Become a Fan to see the Picture” pages!
It’s all “a network game”, and I have a feeling that some of the creators of the first list of groups might be behind the creation of the second kind of groups. How cool is that!
