I mean I think I have to just come right out and say this because I feel really uncomfortable about it. My friend created a Facebook account for her dog. This is weird. There is no other way to look at it.
It's not like I don't understand the purpose of Facebook. People create accounts so they can connect with friends, share photos, bla bla bla. But why on earth would someone create a Facebook account for their dog?
One of my friends called me to tell me she saw something hilarious on Facebook. Obviously, I was intrigued. However, when she told me that our mutual friend had created a Facebook account for her dog, I was no longer laughing, I was genuinely confused, or more so just freaked out. Is this what people do these days? Am I missing something? Seriously, is there a point to this?
My friend proceeded to tell me what the dog's account looked like, "Well, it has his name, Prince Peanut." After she said that, I think my brain froze. I can't comprehend the weird names that people name their pets, but I let her go on anyway. "Then he has photo albums, they're pretty much just of himself wearing different outfits and laying on the grass in the park." Awesome, so the dog is posting modeling pictures, not much different than humans actually. And lastly my friend says, "And he has a wall and other dogs write on it." So, my friend isn't the only weirdo out there, other human beings are creating Facebook accounts for their dogs, awesome.
I know that as a people, us humans tend to get bored very easily. But does that really mean that our boredom should give way to creating Facebook accounts for our pets? I'm surprised actually that my friend didn't take it a step further and post the dog's relationship status. There's always tomorrow though. What will we amuse ourselves with next?
