Avid Facebook users, I think, are well familiar with a new social networking phenomenon, the serial status. People post some “profound” political or social statement which then asks readers to re-post the same message in their own status. Basically it’s a chain letter for social networkers, and every bit as annoying, if not more so. Here’s an example I read today:

I ADMIT I’M A BITCH. I make mistakes, at times I am out of control and hard to handle – but if you can’t handle me at my worst then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. If you’re a bitch then post this on your status. I DARE YOU :-) ♥ ♥

Okay, admitting you are a bitch, while it may display some brave self-awareness, doesn’t give you a license to go right on being one. If your friends can’t “handle” you because you are such a huge bitch all the time, I have a suggestion, stop being a huge bitch.

I would think that if you can’t be bothered to give someone your best, then you don’t deserve theirs. You know, makes some sense.
