6. Goddammit, I got sucked into Facebook


NEW YORK, April 5, 2010 - Stan and Kyle have been through so much together over the years but it all means nothing if Stan won't "friend" Kyle in an all-new episode of "South Park" titled "You Have 0 Friends," premiering on Wednesday, April 7 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.

Kyle "friended" the wrong person and now all of his old friends are deserting him. His situation is desperate. Kyle looks for help from the one person who has always been there for him.

15. My 77 year old sister is on Facebook, so she can follow
her great grandchildren.

She's no too tech savvy so she sends private messages out on her wall for everyone to see.

It's kind of funny.

19. You'll be older too, some day.
Enjoy your relative youth.


If you live long enough, some day someone will be making comments on your lack of tech savvy, too.
