Facebook: 'I Am Going To [Insert American Placename] For [Insert Number] Months'

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Has anybody come across this latest piece of bollocks from Facebook?

Last week my niece posted on there she was going to Florida for a month. She isn't. This morning my best mate's fiancee posts she's going to New York for 14 months. Fair freaked out my mate when I asked him what that was all about, because he didn't know anything about it!

Presumably its some kind of Facebook equivalent of what Southern Sid did on here. Or do I just know a lot of girlie pathological liars?

Anybody know what it's about?

 

[Braders]

Neither do I , it's f**king annoying though. Attention seeking at its worst.

Think its to do with Breast cancer awareness. Making a big statement in your status to draw attention.

Massive fail if it is. Doesn't mention breast cancer anywhere or provide any links.

It is for Breast Cancer- apparently it is their birthday- the number of months relates to the day (1 month= 1st) and the place relates to the month (Florida=February or something)

Ah right, cheers.

Funny way of going about raising breast cancer awareness if you ask me, if all it does is freak out that person's family and friends.

Some girl i know said she was going to Mexico for 16 months which i thought was odd for her. I didn't give a shit.

A friend said she was going to Manchester indefinitely, which I thought was a bit strange, but it seems she has got a job as a Sport Correspondant for the BBC and will be leaving South East Today.

My girlfriend said she was going to Australia for 10 months, she never came back

 

[The Wookiee]

There was a similar one last year, which made the news. So I guess it worked

 

[Gritt23]

Ah, I'm guessing that's what the status update was I saw last night, whereby a most unlikely person was off to Mexico for 14 months.

I'd guess that "I'm going (anywhere) away from you for 10 months" is a *bit* of a clue

MUG!

That explains why a friend has just posted that she's going to Columbia for 28 months, then....

Very odd - can't see how this helps the campaign, just annoys people and freaks out friends and family.

Ah, that's why somebody I know said they were going there for 17 weeks, I thought that was strange, I couldn't think why she would be going there for that length of time.

Here you go guys. Just because it's a piss-awful idea (the bra thing at least had a link to breast cancer) I'll put you out of your misery.

"Ok pretty ladies, it is that time of year again...support of breast cancer awareness!
So we all remember last year's game of writing your bra color as your status? so many people took part that it made national news... and the constant updating of status reminded everyone why we're doing this and helped raise awareness!
Do NOT tell any males what the statuses mean...keep them guessing!! And please copy and paste (in a message) this to all your female friends. THIS YEAR.....
The idea is to choose the month you were born and the day you were born. Pass this on to the GIRLS ONLY and let's see how far it reaches around. The last one about the bra went around all over the world. Your status should say "I am going to Austria for 8 months."The day you were born should be how many months you are gone.
January - Mexico
February - London
March - Miami
April - Dominican Republic
May - France
June - St Petersburg
July - Austria
August - Germany
September - New York
October - Amsterdam
November - Las Vegas
December - Columbia
Do it don't be a spoil sport and show ur awareness for Breast Cancer xx"

girls are so cool!

 

[skipper734]

No they are not. Most of them are head mental. Trust me I have a bit of experience of this.............. I'm not bitter!

 

[Lush]

We also get sarcasm

I'm trying to decide if this is more or less lame than the endless efforts by Justin Bieber fans to get him trending on Twitter.
