SAN BRUNO, CALIFORNIA – Most social networking sites have an open policy of letting anyone add anyone else on the site without repercussions. Recently, that has come to not be the case on Facebook. As of late, if you add someone you do not know and they either don’t add you back or add you, but click that they do not know you outside of Facebook, despite having hundreds of friends in common with them, you are placed in what has been commonly called “Facebook Jail” banning you from adding anyone for 30 days.
Someone, apparently disagreeing with this decision by Zuckerberg and Facebook, has made a Hitler Gets Angry video entitled “Hitler Finds Out People Are Using His Social Networking Site …To Be Social … And To Network.” Since the video has been uploaded, it has been taken down by YouTube.
The closed-captioning for the video read as follows:
Officer: Has anybody told him yet?
“Hitler”: Told me what?
Officer: Guess not. People have been using your social networking site to add friends they have in common with others. Sometimes not exactly people they know outside of the site. However, when they do add people, usually it’s just the ones that they have hundreds of friends in common with.
“Hitler”: What? No. No. No. I will not sit here and let this happen. I created Facebook specifically for the purpose of letting people add friends that they know in real life and outside of this social networking site. I did not work this hard to get where I am today and steal the whole idea for this site from those damned Winklevoss twins to let this happen. No. Not on my watch.
Officer: Then, what do you propose we do?
“Hitler”: We will pass a law banning guns. We disarm them. We force them to give up their means of protecting themselves against us. Then we collectively and systematically round them up, put them on trains, force them to do hard labor, deny them proper and sustaining rations until they become emaciated, then when they are weak and frail, we round them up once again and put them in ovens and burn them alive and herd them into crowded shower rooms and then pipe in poisonous and toxic, lethal gas and exterminate them once and for all as our “Final Solution.”
Officer: Um. Sir, you are not a dictator and this is not your country to rule over to do with its citizens as you please. This is a social networking site.
“Hitler”: Then, what is the next most vile and spiteful thing we can do to punish them for good for this high crime of using my social networking site (obviously disgusted and repulsed) … to be social and (cringes) …to network? (indignant) I will not be mocked.
2nd Officer: We could ban them from adding anyone for 30 days.
“Hitler”: Done.
