The desire to get laid earns him 25 billion, but he did not get lucky

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2010)

Recently I got more and more annoyed by the fact that every site I went on wanted me to log in with my facebook account . I thought that facebook was a site for people who wanted to get laid, and I did not see the connection with my political views or opinion about a TV show, so I saw no reason to join.( Also I had enough bad lays in my lifetime, I do not need any more.)
When I heard all that Hallelujah about the Social Network movie I went to see it in the hope of understanding the younger generation and facebook better.
My reaction leaving the theatre was mainly relief that I am not young anymore. The representation of life on Harvard campus and in California did not look like fun to me. Especially the way the girls were depicted was nauseating. I found myself confirmed that facebook was originally created by boys who wanted to get laid and that becoming a billionaire is easy nowadays if you find a way to promise social contact to enough lonely and desperate people . It is the same principle they sell deodorants, silicon breasts, hair transplants, botox, cars, make up, wonder bras, Oprah, mouth wash, fashion, Viagra, porn, alcohol, Dr. Phil, drugs, etc with. The only ones who get lucky in this game are the sellers not the buyers. The good message of the movie was that all the money in the world cannot buy that so much desired social contact.
I found myself frequently checking my watch, which is not a good sign while watching a movie. The acting was good the guys were all supposed to be a-holes and they played that role quite well. The movie had a somber look to me and sometimes there was so much background noise that I had a hard time to follow the conversation.
How sad that 500 million people have to join this site to get some social contact.......
