Anything and everything becomes wildly entertaining. A fun way to waste some time you won't really remember the details of. Probably for the best.” Facebook is a vodka cranberry: “Social lubricant used to enhance still developing social etiquette. You're aware of your uninhibited actions, but comforted by the built in safety net of excuses.” MySpace is huffing spray paint: “Destroys any chance of looking credible. You will be perceived as having the mindset of a middle-schooler, and probably do.” Gmail is caffeine pills: “Great for a quick pick me up to stimulate productivity, but ultimately leaves you exhausted and relying on it.” For the full list, check the link to the right.
