If you're reading this then it means you are fairly bored and sitting in front of the computer looking for a little bit of entertainment. I have good news, your friend jojo has just come up with a way to amuse yourself for a few minutes using the Facebook.
Think of the absolute worst movie/book/television show/band in the world. Something incredibly generic, made for the lowest common denominator with no originality or value. Now consider that there are people somewhere who love this shite. Enter this horrible waste of space into your profile as something that is your favorite, in my case "Keys to the VIP".
For those of us who aren't aware "Keys to the VIP" is a Comedy Network program where 4 'players' sit in a room and watch another 'player' try to pick up girls in a club somewhere. These douchebags critique this players 'game' and suggest ways that he could improve. Picture 4 Perkmans (if he was a real person) sitting around except they're not whining about their shite lives. Sounds soul killing right? Right! Well somebody must be watching this or it couldn't be produced, in fact the show is now going into its second season. This means that somewhere, somebody is saying "Yeah man I'd love to go out with you guys tonight and meet new people, talk about current issues, exchange ideas and generally have fun.......but there's a new episode of Keys to the VIP on and I gotta get home to see it."
Back to the point, if this is in your profile as a favorite you can click on it and Facebook will give you a list of other people in your networks who put down the same thing so you can contact them and discuss your mutual interest. I click on Keys to the VIP and get 163 results. One hundred and sixty three people in Ottawa were filling out their profiles, got to the favorite TV show section and immediately put down Keys to the VIP. Its not a guilty pleasure, its not on in the background while they do they dishes, its not a way to kill half an hour if they're bored and nothing else is on, its their favorite. If you're hanging out with Alex Cook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=501336196) on Thursday at 10pm EST the two of you will be enjoying a (hopefully) new episode of Keys to the VIP.
If are in the Ottawa network take a few minutes to look at Alex's profile and you'll get a feel for the type of person that this show appeals to. Even if you can't see his profile the little picture that comes up will tell you enough. Words can't really do this profile justice, Alex's first album of pictures entitled "MY GYM" gives you an illustrative journey through "... where i work (out?), and some of teh [sic] guys who go work out there." I couldn't make a better fake profile for a douchbag if I tried. If you're a girl out there wondering "What will my self obsessed closeted homosexual future husband look like? What movies and music will he like and will he be a very religious guy?" this profile will answer all those question quickly and thoroughly.
At first I felt kind of bad making fun of someone I don't know at all who may in fact be a nice guy but then I scrolled down a bit and read these sage words from Alex himself "i think making people laugh (at yourself, if need be) is a really important quality in life and that more people showed lighten up." and I felt a lot better. Incidentally I can never pick my favorite Rockey movie either, although I am partial to the one where he defeats communism.
So there you go an easy way to feel better about yourself and the decisions you've made throughout your life. If you're still bored after all that check out Patton Oswalt, he may be the funniest person on the planet right now.

Hey!
Didn't you ask me to buy you a pack of smoke out front of a Seven Eleven a couple of days ago?

"The Facebook". I hate when people add "The" in front of things that don't need it. But I will +2 you anyway because my kitty's name is JoJo.

You sound like you know far too much about this 'Keys to the Gay room' programme you are talking about.
Alex looks like he will learn all about life from the end of a fist quite a lot.

This isn't +2 worthy, but I'm pretty sure that this is only rated negatively because people do not realize that the picture is of some asshole on the internet that you're ridiculing through the post.

+2 because that is exactly what perkman is - he thinks that he is awesome. Now I know that I'm pathetic and I accept it. He's pathetic but won't admit it, the moron.

If an unknown object displays all the properties of a particular known object and no other properties, it follows that there is at least a nonzero possibility of the unknown object being the known object in an unrecognised form. Let's test...
Smirnoff Ice? Check.
Recommends Facebook? Check.
Assumes reading Uber = bored? Check.
There is at least a nonzero possibility that jojo is a basement-dwelling LARPing loser.
+1 because I can't prove it without further research.
