Facebook, Believe it or Not!

Facebook weird

Hey Hubzers,

Facebook is well on it’s way to 1 billion users, all of whom are taking to the social network in their own special way.

Would you believe it if I told you there is a Facebook night club in the  Amazon Rainforest? Or what if I told you about a Facebook Fan Page dedicated to a Siamese man’s love for his corpse bride?

This week has been overshadowed by the SOPA/PIPA controversy, but the world of social media keeps on spinning.

Here are a few weird/true/freaky happenings across Facebook-Land:

Fired for Facebook

Be careful what you post! An Ohio prison guard was fired because of a status update that compared Ohio’s Governor, John Kasich (R), to Osama Bin Laden: “Ok we got Bin Laden … let’s go get Kasich next. Who’s with me?”

According to the Huffington Post, the status update violated the prison’s rules of conduct, as prison guard John Hubbard (who plans to appeal his termination) is accused of “threatening, intimidating, or coercing another employee or a member of the general public.”

Apparently public employees have been sour with Governor Kasich following the introduction of an anti-union law that sparked controversy among Ohioans.

Facebook Night Club

I knew you could spend the night ON Facebook but not AT Facebook, at least, now you can, at the Facebook night club in Brazil.

According to the Guardian, the Facebook night club is the big idea of 30-year old Humbert Camacho, “The Facebook concept is about sharing ideas, adventures, friendships, parties and photos with your friends.”

Building-off of the social network’s popularity, Camacho explained to the Guardian that with Facebook’s concept in mind he decided to erect a nightclub “where people could come and share things with their friends, spend a cool night, sharing pictures, experiences and have fun.”

The name is more or less a gimmick, Camacho was looking “for a name that was trendy” and in a spark of genius– “We thought: Facebook everyone talks about Facebook.”

The club will have it’s own official Facebook page, naturally.

The club opened Thursday, around the same time that Facebook managed to surpass Brazil’s most popular social networking site, Orkut, increasing it’s Brazilian head-count by nearly 200%.

And what does Facebook have to say about the nightclub, “Is it really in the Amazon?”

Zombie Wedding FanPage

Chadil deffy married his dead girlfriend during a funeral/wedding party in Thailand.

The couple had been dating for 10 years and planned to get married however their plans were unfortunately smashed when Sarinya “Anne” Kamsook died in a freak accident.

The ceremony is memorialized in a Facebook FanPage, with over 32,000 fans, that shows pictures of the couple throughout the many stages of their relationship (including post-mortem). As to the details surrounding whether or not this affair was consummated– I leave them to your imagination.
