I enjoyed it because I felt so much like Stan in getting a Facebook page. I actually do use a page a bit now as there are friends I would like to stay in touch with.
Of course a friend the other day emailed me “What did I do wrong? You barred me from posting on your wall? Blah blah blah.” I had to explain that I have disabled my wall to make sure that messages remain private.
I wonder if I am good friend stock or not.
If I understand correctly, if you had just blocked him, he wouldn’t have been told. And it’s silly that people can’t comprehend to only say non-private things on the wall
I just got a hold of this episode. It was actually funny! Lately South Park hadn’t really been making me laugh. Kip’s reaction to getting a single friend made me literally LOL. And then Cartman’s thing made me laugh even more.
I haven’t loved South Park in a while and I missed most of the last few seasons, but I caught this one and I really liked it. I don’t think it veered off too far into the absurd or having it be Matt and Trey’s soap box issue of the week.
I think they did a good job of capturing the awkwardness of social networking and having a genuinely funny episode.

I have to admit, I’m starting to slowly get sucked into facebook too. 
Facebook is only a stupid waste of time if you make it a stupid waste of time, i.e., you spend all your time on it playing farming games and being a friend whore. It’s perfectly possible to use it the way it was meant to be used, as in keeping in touch with current or past friends and easily organizing social events or finding other people with the same interests as you. Of course there are people that get sucked in and spend all their time friending random people, but that’s more the fault of the end user than of the service.
Loved the episode. I even friended Kip Drordy, but it seems that the profile is gone
I find the older members of my family take it more seriously than the younger ones. I imagine that will decrease somewhat as they become more attuned to social networking “etiquette.”
I’ve heard this from a few people, but I don’t understand how someone can accidentally create a Facebook account. I can understand starting an account and forgetting about it. But accidentally making one?
He tripped and fell. 
I have a Facebook page, but have never used it. One day, a bulky envelope arrived in my mail with the correct address and postal code but with a name on it I’d never heard for someone who has never lived here. Without a legible return address and on a whim, I googled the name and found a Facebook page, but could not get an e-mail address unless I also signed up, which I did reluctantly.
The person, who I never actually met, eventually got her package and now there’s an orphan Facebook page which I am now afraid to delete, lest I find myself wearing neon blue and playing Yahtzee.
I don’t know how it happened either. My friend says he doesn’t remember signing up, and it isn’t the sort of thing he would normally sign up for. But when people friended him or tagged him, he started getting email notices so he went to check it out. He says he would have thought someone else made the page, except that the password was a password that he uses.
Two possibilities I can think of:
Facebook lets you automatically email everyone in your gmail contacts to friend them, or if they aren’t on facebook to send them an invite.
Some websites that are not facebook have a ‘sign in using facebook profile’ option.
It’s possible he signed up by clicking on one of these and not realizing what it was actually for.
