Facebook Is Evil: A Contest!
 By Jackie Kessler ***Facebook Is Evil!*** Well, it is. Truly. I just got onto Facebook, and while I’m thrilled to have more than 200 friends (including a number from high school and college whom I’d otherwise lost touch with), I’m spending way too much time attacking with my vampire and playing Scrabulous (grrr… “ea” is **so** not a word). I should be writing. But nooooooo. I’m too busy looking up words like “vor” and plotting to turn other Facebook people into vampires. Facebook is evil, I tell you. Evil. ***A Contest!*** I write about evil creatures, so to celebrate the evilness that is Facebook, I’m giving away one of my last ARCs of HOTTER THAN HELL (my version, not the lovely Kim Harrison’s). This book, which hits the shelves in August, is all about the incubus Daunuan…who knows about being evil. Working for Hell will do that to a demon… For a chance to win, comment about Facebook or other evil things. A winner will be picked at random on Friday, May 30. 39 Responses to “Facebook Is Evil: A Contest!” |

Facebook was designed by angels to relieve the pressure of damnation from MySpace.
May 26th, 2008 at 8:51 am
Oh noes, Facebook! I stay far, far away from that site, it’s just waiting to gnat its way into my gut and not let go!
And myspace has already done that - the little bugger’s claws are in my gut and refuses to let go.
Ugh.. I need coffee.

I’ve don’t know anything about Facebook. This is probably a good thing since I’m already on the computer to much, visiting different blogs daily. (UURRGGHH) This keeps me from reading, I don’t need another distraction.
May 26th, 2008 at 10:13 am
I thought all the blog sites I am constantly visiting was becoming evil as I was spending so much time on them and then along came MySpace…evil, evil, very evil. I have this HUGE list of ‘things to do’ that just grows longer as I sit at my computer and enjoy myself by reading all these enjoyable sites instead of doing all those things that need to be done (like done days ago…ha,ha). Oh well, today I feel I have a legitimate excuse…it is a holiday which does mean relax and no work…right…at least in my world it does. LOL

There’s something I signed up for by mistake and I don’t think it’s facebook but after having tons of new “friends” I’ve tried to igorne it (sorry I can’t even think what it’s called). Myspace is even too much for me. There are so many time wasters out there that I try to avoid new ones :mrgreen:
May 26th, 2008 at 11:29 am
oops - of course I meant “ignore” (so just ignore this post too) :roll:
May 26th, 2008 at 11:34 am
I have not figured out how to really use facebook, don’t know how to add some stuff, they don’t give you directions, lol I did get addticted to the pirate game so stopped, I don’t go as often as I used too.
May 26th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I have not tried Facebook either, as I am not the most computer savvy. Plus, I already spend quite a bit of time visiting all my favorites sites that I can not imagine how much more time I would spend online if Facebook is as evilly addicting as has been mentioned…lol.
Have a great Memorial Day eveyone.
May 26th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Ah but it is the internet itself that lulled me and sucked me into the ease with which to communicate with friends, search for information, and play online in general. And now that it’s grip has become so insidiously intertwined with my very being, I find myself surfing far beyond any sensible amount of time and with no plausible reason other than it is darned fun. I shudder at the amount of time siphoned from my days when I could be doing other things…needed things, like laundry, windows, and ironing. *sob* Oh, how I have fallen!
May 26th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
You know what is strange, I have never heard of FACEBOOK… I had no clue about it until you wrote about it!!! FACEBOOK stay away!!!
Evil… my family would say our HOA is evil… you have to do this, you can not do that!!!
I think my computer is evil at times… it has a mind of its own and does what is wants to annoy me at inconvenient times!
My father says the woodpecker that visits the house is evil… it seems like every month my father has to patch up more holes on the house from the eeeeevil woodpecker… Whaaa Haa Haa!!! :twisted:
May 26th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I can barely keep up with my livejournal, much less a myspace or facebook, so I stay faaaaaaaaaar away from both of those other sites. I know my limits, LOL. :mrgreen:
May 26th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
(please don’t enter me in the contest :twisted: you know why…)
Teh intranets R teh evol–time sucking device, if’n ye axes me!
Personally, keeping up with the 40 or so blogs I read daily is more than enough challenge on top of the real life stuff–and lets not go into forums and other crap :grin:
Have a great memorial day!
May 26th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Yeah I have to agree with AL - i already have a ton of blogs to read, my own blog, AND myspace - I don’t need more evil! :grin:
May 26th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
I don’t have time for facebook or myspace. Blogging and checking my emails is enough. But my daughter loves it. I think it’s great if u have time for it.
May 26th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Sounds like I had better stay away from Facebook as well. Not only do I spend more time than I should online, but Facebook would probably also expose my lack of internet knowledge. I think I already have a Myspace account I don’t know how to use!
May 26th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I haven’t tried Facebook. Between MySpace, the blogs I visit daily and Spider Solitaire I am surrounded by evil!
May 26th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
on no I definitely don’t need facebook what with all the other blogs and my space and email group that I check daily. I don’t have the time lol.
May 26th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
I am already sucked into the evil time wasters of MySpace and blogs. I must stay far, far away from Facebook.
May 26th, 2008 at 9:23 pm
I don’t know any thing about Facebook and don’t need to know. I spend to much time on the computer now and I don’t get what I need to get done. I am an addict.
May 26th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
I don’t have a Facebook account but what does “eat” up my time is looking at the blogs I subscribe to and entering contests. :) So evil and time consuming.
May 26th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Facebook. where to begin. First off. There are these really cute aliens that must be saved. And then, they like to play peekaboo! Then off to buy and sell my friends on Friends for Sale, then off to go find some cute Hotties on Hotties for sale. Then to make sure that all my friends feel loved as I return their eggs, their Thinking of You gifts, then continuing the Penguins wave as my town’s hockey team is in the playoffs. And don’t forget the Hug Me’s and Superpoke’s I must return. Then i realize that I have been at work for 2 1/2 hours and surely my IT group is going to report my activity to my boss and I will subsequently lose my job.
May 26th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
I have both myspace and facebook, blogs, yahoo groups, and emails. I have a hard time checking all everyday so I just check my emal and some blogs. I don’t think I can ever catch up.
May 26th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
I’ve heard about Facebook but haven’t tried it out yet. But after this post I have to admit that my curiosity is up. I do after all have a weakness for the dark side of things. Those demons and vampires get me everytime.
May 26th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
heard it but dont have it. not enough times to check it all, jsut have email. gas prices is very evil
May 27th, 2008 at 7:59 am
I haven’t tried facebook yet. I do have a myspace account and I haven’t been over there in a while to update it. Not having a bookstore around here is very evil. I’ve only got walmart. :evil:
May 27th, 2008 at 8:04 am
At least facebook isn’t as evil as myspace. It doesn’t have random music blaring when you open someone elses page. :)
If you want something truly evil, and you like pirates, then you should check out puzzle pirates. that game is addictive.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Blogger is evil because I have to go around and see what all of my friends are doing and what they’re talking about. It hinders my writing time. :cry:
May 27th, 2008 at 10:52 am
I joined up with Facebook this past week because a friend of mine had a page she wanted me to look at… and you have to be a member to see a person’s profile. So very evil. So, I spend a good chunk of the holiday weekend (when I wasn’t editing or cleaning) playing with Facebook and sprucing up my MySpace page. They are soooo addicting!
May 27th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
I signed up for Facebook so I could see some photos of Spain that a former student had posted on her page. Then I started getting invitations to be friends with people, which was okay, although I never had time to chat. And then people started sending me “hugs” and “karma,” whatever those were, and I got requests to post what I was doing, and so on. I gave up and stopped checking. I just don’t have time!!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
I’m still resisting Facebook. My resistance is aided by sloth, so maybe it’s a case of fighting evil with evil.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
My kids , both under the age of 5, don’t leave me much time to even consider getting addicted to Facebook. The little free time I do get is spent reading or online learening about more books.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
I have one of those mostly empty Facebook pages. I signed up so I could view something, and now only go out when someone stumbles upon it and I verify that they’re my friend.
May 27th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
hey now im obsessed with my facebook..i join way too many groups and get every application i can and friend people i have never and will never meet….crap facebook is evil…noooooooooooooo
May 27th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
I haven’t gotten sucked in by Facebook yet, but it could happen soon. A bunch of my friends are on Facebook and have been urging me to do the same.
May 28th, 2008 at 6:06 am
My sons in high school joined MySpace and when they went to college they had to switch to Facebook. I’ve avoided both! I simply do not have any free time for either of them!!
May 29th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I avoid Facebook and myspace. E-mail, blogs and discussion forums are enough for me.
