FaceItBook.com

THIS IS THE NAME OF A NEW WEBSITE I HAVE CREATED WHERE FRIENDS TRY TO BE REAL FRIENDS BY BEING HONEST IN PUBLIC, AS IN "FACE IT, YOU REALLY NEED TO GROW UP. YOU ARE 36 AND STILL LIVING WITH YOUR PARENTS?! COME ON." EVERY POST BEGINS WITH THE DEFAULT, 'FACE IT.' OF COURSE, PEOPLE WILL INEVITABLY MISTAKE FRIENDLY ADVICE FOR UNFRIENDLY INSULT. PEOPLE WILL RESPOND TO ADVICE WITH COMMENTS LIKE, "OH YEAH, WELL, YOU REALLY NEED TO FACE THIS, MOFO!" AND SO FRIENDS JUST TRYING TO HELP FRIENDS FACE UP TO THEIR WEAKNESSES IN THE HOPE OF MAKING THEM STRONGER WILL END UP DEFRIENDING EACH OTHER AND START POSTING THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE DEFRIENDED AND TRASHING THEM ON THEIR FACEIT.COM PAGES UNTIL THEY ARE DEFRIENDED IN TURN. THEN THEY WILL TRASH THEM ON OTHER YET TO BE DEFRIENDED PAGES. SO THE AIM WILL BECOME, INADVERTENTLY THOUGH NECESSARILY GIVEN THAT WE ARE, AFTER ALL, JUST HUMAN, TO LIST AS MANY "DEFRIENDS" AS POSSIBLE. EVENTUALLY, SOMEONE AT THE NEW YORKER WILL PULISH AN ARTICLE ON THE WEBSITE.
