Farmville is bad for farmers

How stupid is this:

An article linked to as a lead article off of MSNs homepage.

Are they serious? The stupid facebook game Farmville is bad for farming because it doesn’t paint an accurate picture of farming?
Well no shit! You think anyone really thinks it does?
Just because I’m good at roller coaster tycoon and zoo tycoon doesn’t mean I should go apply as head zoo keeper at the local zoo or become a manager at Six Flags.
And as for Elanor Agnew who was “lured by the idealism of living in nature and trying to live off the land” and was royally disappointed I imagine she was one of those who failed to listen to any of her friends or family before hand who told her “bad idea”.

You never know.

This came out in late 1997. Five years later, CART was dead.

And playing Grand Theft Auto has pretty much ruined any chance that I will ever be a productive criminal.

There’s a real one. Been there, done that. Couldn’t find a T shirt.

My Grandfather from this one…

I play farmville on facebook…I dunno why…it was just there one day. :rolleyes:

It says there are comments, but I can’t seem to view them. Should be interesting to read…if I could. Anyone know how?

I just signed up for Cafe World. It hasn’t made me want to open a real-life restaurant.

So real-world bomb disposal doesn’t consist of careful examination of numbers in a grid? Just as well I didn’t stick a stamp on that application letter yet.

I find no job postings looking for Tetrists. I’m thinking of starting to leave it off my resume. Orkin has called a few times about my Centipede experience, but it never led to a permanent gig.

They threw me out of the zoo for good the last time I climbed into the Komodo Dragon enclosure, *even after *I’d explained how I’d had plenty of experience on Onyxia.

50 DKP minus!! :smiley:

Many zookeepers! Handle it!

Stealth parody?

The article seems to be making the flawed assumption that people who play Farmville are interested in farming.

Dammit!!! If it weren’t for The Sims, I wouldn’t always be peeing myself and setting the house on fire every time I cook!!!

What is next, banning Agricola?

Now I am starting to rethink my plans to join the mafia.

This is why I play FarmTown instead. Quite superior to Farmville in every way.

Oh, what, you’re trying to tell me that sheep aren’t stackable cubes?

Not if you pre-ordered (or got your animeeples some other way)
