BBM and FACEBOOK THINGS

So I’ve been getting some really dumb funny blackberry messages. Last week was the absolute worst particularly when RIM was down. It was a very peaceful week for me I must add. I actually really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Franky, i really missed my  instant emails but not so much of blackberry messages. I wonder why #sighs. Unfortunately, during the few times that I could access blackberry messages, some inane messages kept popping up. I wish I could send “slap” smileys to people. Blackberry message smileys are so deficient.  Where’s a slap smiley when you really need one. Smh. I had to copy and paste these messages and I left all the typos intentionally so you’ll get my irritation. Here goes:

This is the real broadcast from Blackberry© All rights reserved.
 Broadcast this message to every single contact on your BBM© to reset your display picture, sorry for any inconvenience.
This message is to inform all of our users, that our servers have recently been really full, so we are asking for your help to fix this problem. We need our active users to re-send this message to everyone on your contact list in order to confirm our active users that use BlackBerry Messenger, if you do not send this message to all your BlackBerry Messenger contacts then your account will remain inactive with the consequence of losing all your contacts
Symbol will automatic update in your  ,when you broadcast this message. Your blackberry will be updated within 24 hours it will have a new lay out and a new color for chat.
 Dear Blackberry users, We are going to do a update for bbm from 11pm till 5am this to day. You if you don’t send this to all your contacts your update will be cancelled and you would not be alowed to chat with your contacts as you have the old version


I mean seriously?! Az in for real for real?! When have we ever updated anything by broadcasting a message?! Even people who have been using blackberry for almost a year who I thought were smart actually fell for this. Sorry to sound condescending but people are unbelievable. The message sef is too disjointed. Seriously smh.  Here’s another one:

A 14 yr old boy was shot 6 times by his step dad While the mum was at work. The boy was protecting his 2 yr old sister, Who the step dad was attempting to rape. The young girl was not harmed; DUE TO BEING PROTECTED & cz of that young boy'z courage.
The 14 yr old boy is now fighting for his life, and the doctors say he Will not make it unless he has this life saving surgery in which the Boy's mom can't afford. So all phone companies has agreed to donate 0.45 every time this message is Sent. So fwd & help save a life! I don't care if yu hate broadcasts, delete  if u have NO HEART</3. so plz plz send this to EVERYONE in ur contacts. if u don't then u'r just heartless.
Remember BC this message PLEASE. don't ignore this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently I have no heart because this fiction writer is good but not that good. If one more person on my contact sends me this ish, delete ni straight. *angry face*
Saw this on a friend’s fb wall and I laughed soo hard I almost peed myself. It was just too painful. People are just mind boggling.

FACEBOOK JUST RELEASED THEIR PRICE GRID FOR MEMBERSHIP. $9.99 PER MONTH FOR GOLD MEMBER SERVICES, $6.99 PER MONTH FOR SILVER MEMBER SERVICES, $3.99 PER MONTH FOR BRONZE MEMBER SERVICES, FREE IF YOU COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WHEN YOU SIGN ON TOMORROW MORNING YOU WILL BE PROMPTED FOR PAYMENT INFO...IT IS OFFICIAL IT WAS EVEN ON THE NEWS. FACEBOOK WILL START CHARGING DUE TO THE NEW PROFILE CHANGES. IF YOU COPY THIS ON YOUR WALL YOUR ICON WILL TURN BLUE AND FACEBOOK WILL BE FREE FOR YOU. PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ON IF NOT YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DELETED IF YOU DO NOT PAY...... better safe than sorry.


P.S: I dnt know if my cream is working wonders or my soap is the culprit but I been getting some seriously funny proposals. I’ll gist y’all abourit in my next post. I also wana thank Nightingale for the Toin-Scar (that's what she called my versatile blog award lol) And to all my new followers and the silent readers, i see you. love you guys soo much. Thanx for always stopping by. Muah.

    I wonder why people that look and act mature and reasonable can fall for such foolery. The other ones that tick me off are the emails that end with 'send this to 7 people and recieve whatever you wish for. dont send and u could be sorry. so so so, ignored and this that happened to him/her etc' Turns me purple with anger.

    Its amazing how gullible can be, even the supposedly educated ones. I cannot stand random broadcasts, honestly.

    Each time I see those kind of messages, I laugh so much. And some people do keep broadcasting them and following the rules, wonder if anyone has broken their phone in the process?

    This broadcasts are so annoying to say the least. Just like Amaka's Notepad, I especially dislike the ones that always comes with a threat after it. e.g: send this to 7 people and this will happen. Don't break this chain or this would happen. Like for real, do some people actually believe that crap. *smh*

    as par the broadcast, i cnt even complain cos den constantly complainin will begin to sound like the ever so irritating broadcast.*longhiss and rolleyes*... btw, i feel so helpless with the highly low range of bb smileys i wish dere were some real nasty ones to convey correct messages

    hehehehe....*sighs*, LWKMD cos I don't av a B.B, did I hear some1 say aw...? Pls don't pity me, when I do not even pity myself (maybe 1 day I wud). On a serious note even though I do fb(which like Toin said is not really as exciting as it used to be) I either remove such posts/messages or simply ignore dem, cos as you "accquire" more friends, d tendency of receiving such messages is likely to increase. Now, I peruse and scrutinize each profile, detail for detail b4 accepting. It prevents one avin 2 deal wif issues like dis.
    @N.I.L: I wudn't say ur boring...ur just well...different(and maybe busy) Social networks cud be much fun, but cud also be so so addictive.

    OMG, dont get me started on Broadcast messages on BBM, thankfully, i have deleted a lot of useless people from my BBM, so this time around i didnt have too many useless broadcast. Apparently, common sense isnt all that common after all.

    i cant stand Chain Messages, or Forwarded messages that give directions or a homework, telling you to forward it back, or you are the spawn of the devil, i usually delete such messages, and for report offenders i just block them from my Contact list.

    im no more on Facebook, but when a friend told me about Facebook beginning to charge, i started laughing, because that was the day i realized that she was easily Gullible.

    LOL @ it will turn blue. Blue ko, Fuschia ni. I also get all those chain messages and have learnt to ignore them. As for a slap smiley, I guess whenever it is invented, it will bridge the gap between the "Angry" smiley and the "Surprised" one. Why? Because when they get a slap from an angry Toin, they'll be .... surprised! LOL!

    Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything.

    Do you have any recommendations for inexperienced blog writers?
    I'd genuinely appreciate it.
