Last night’s South Park episode "You Have Zero Friends" slammed the social networking site Facebook with funny parodies and comical situations with the characters' Facebook usage.
While Cartman and Kyle were happy Facebook fans, adding friends and playing Farmsville, Stan didn't want to use the site by any means. Everyone pressured him to use it, including his depressed father (“So...we’re not friends?”)
“Dude, f— Facebook, seriously,” said Stan with a certain calmness.
But his buddies set up a page for him anyway, and Stan starts having trouble. He had to friend his buddies and even his family, including his dad and grandmother (His father goes “Stan, poke your grandma!”). Stan wanted nothing to do with the site, but when he tries to delete his account, he finds himself zapped into a virtual Facebook world where he had to play Yahtzee with his own big profile in a nice but weird moment.
The episode exploited Facebook as it truly is, a site where having a lot of friends is just a way to improve a person’s status. The episode targeted the older audience that uses Facebook as well as lonely kids. So, think twice before updating your status after watching this episode.”
