"Worst Car Ad Ever"

For some reason, this ad makes me die inside a little bit. This poor sack doesn't even have the emotional intelligence or the self confidence to realize that his hipster hottie, who made the first move, liked him after all. He had to be put to ease by a Facebook post. That's what gets me. And I fear that's the way the world is turning thanks to Facebook and the other self-gratifying social sites of our fine advanced digital age. Paranoid? Why yes. Hypocritical? Wearing it like a 3-piece suit, actually. But still, is it all necessary?

Who am I to judge what you use Facebook for? Well, nobody at all, fine sir. That's the great thing about Facebook. You can be who you want to be, and post what you want to post. Don't mind me for judging your every misspelled word, poorly punctuated exclamation or mindlessly boring bits of information (especially the lunch thing. Why are you posting your eating habits?). I too post those things, and it makes me feel super warm inside.

But I have a strange feeling all of this self-indulgence and reassurance via computer monitor are going to do terrible things to our ability to interact in the present form. So do what I do, put the phone down, step away from the computer and try to remember how to feel like a human again. It can only help our chances of surviving poor posture and a fragile emotional state.
