No random play... sighs

I meant to post about this when I read the article... but then forgot until I had a discussion about it last night. Evidently - when you sign up for Facebook - if you admit to being over 30, you aren't given the option to be interested in "random play."

Old person options:

  • Friendship
  • Dating
  • Networking
  • A relationship

But if you're under 30 you get all those PLUS:

  • Whatever I can get (for geeks)
  • Random play (geeks fantasize about girls who check here)
Clearly this is some sort of age discrimination, or else the kids over at Facebook think they are going to grow up and out of their party ways.

I gots some news for you kiddos. Based on what I'm seeing in my advanced age group, you need to add those options back in. Just take a walk around the warehouse district any weekend night. There's a whole lotta "whatever I can get" and "random play" going on. In actual real space. With people over 30. Gasp!

Note: It looks like they are actually yanking that option from everyone now. Don't they know that hooking up is like - the second biggest use of use of the Internet? The sadness.

Second biggest? What's the first then?

I was referring to shopping of course. ;)
