Overheard (Caprican Email Edition)

I just got one of the most retarded things ever from Facebook’s ‘Related’ app. I’m a distant cousin of Barack Obama! Sort of! Except all my grandparents and both parents are “private” (i.e., unidentified); my only grandparent on Facebook is my mom’s mom, and while I’m not totally up to speed on my family tree, I know *her* parents aren’t on *this* tree.

I’ve been spammed by the President! We’re all one big family!

Yay!

Seriously, it kind of creeps me out and insults me all at once. I mean, come on, you really expect me to buy this crap?

I know Obama’s crew has always been big on Internet promotion, but that’s just retarded. What’s next, rebranding him as “Your Buddy ‘Bama”?

Ugh.
