Amber: Apparently we're the morality police now

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
It's so annoying to come off the wonderful high that was Facebook Places debuting (you're mine, Foursquare) to find this: 

Facebok Blocks Ads for Pot Legalization Campaign.

Firstly, they sure as hell didn't consult me about this. Apparently, I'm going to have to have a talk with some people about who's in charge the proper procedure for deciding this kind of thing. I'd never let them use Facebook to sell drugs (that's what Craigslist is for, people), but marijuana legalization is a perfectly legitimate political cause. 

And God damn it, how do any of those morons think alienating our users is going to help anything? Facebook didn't become Facebook by trying to force people to act or believe a certain way. I want all people and their delicious secrets, not just the ones the corporations really want as customers. It's not rocket science.

I just don't understand why anyone at the company would think I'd approve of this.

...Marcus.
ETA: BRB, hurting Marcus.

Amber is a drug pusher, basically. She ruins lives. You shouldn't leave your kids alone with her, in case you come back to find she's sold them on the Internet to buy more squash plants to feed her habit.

Props to everyone at Zynga, though. You guys are unapologetically evil, and that's how I like my corporations.

Marcus: Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble

So, Amber's in New York pretending she knows a damn thing about web design. (Spoiler: She doesn't.) And I just feel so bored.

Would it be wrong of me to encourage the Oregon Tea Party to keep using 4Chan's slogan, stand up to their ~harassment~, and sit back to watch the fireworks? I think it would.
