Facebook Gold
The Facebook Gold prank has been around for several years: you post a status update, or change your Facebook profile photo, to a graphic that looks like this.
Your less-experienced Facebook friends will panic, asking why they can't see it, and how they subscribe to Facebook Gold. Then you can mess with them, like so:
Facebook Platinum
We've taken the Facebook Gold prank one step further, creating an even higher level of fake service called Facebook Platinum:
Brag about how these higher levels of service require an outrageous yearly service fee, but you got a complimentary membership because you know Mark Zuckerberg's barber. Talk about the mind-blowing features on your account, like the ability to see nude photos of all your friends, or free HBO.
Facebook Over 18
And if fake Facebook accounts aren't to your liking, you can always try this new Facebook prank, which will draw attention as quickly as an NSFW tag:
We hope you'll share the reactions of your Facebook friends. Take a screenshot of any ridiculous reactions you get over the next week, then post them in the conversation below. We'll award a $25 Amazon gift certificate to the funniest entry (as rated by you in overall ZUGZ) by Thursday, October 20, 2011. Pranks away!
So, you took a Facebook prank that is 5 years old and been modified several times over the years to include other levels and over 18, etc. all like people have done for years already and are acting like you did something funny? Congrats, you have accomplished nothing at all! YAY!
I'm doing some troubleshooting to find out why this thread was posted twice. I need for all of you to click me a lot in this thread. This will allow me to see where the problem is and it will let me know what needs to be changed.
I clicked you and your total went down. I feel a good solution would be for everyone to never click you again for safety.
No one clicks anyone for safety, they click each other for for funny points. You can't make their pointage go down by down-clicking. Down is up around these parts, sonny boy. Left is also up.
I don't expect to win this contest, because everyone who took part in this is "in" on the joke, but I am a whore for the almighty clickie, so I'm posting anyway
I read that, but only every fifth line, for I am superstitious.
Also, it was nice of Richard Gere to let you guys borrow his gerbil. It must be getting too damn old for that sort of thing, but didn't seem to mind traveling through a human centipede.
Despite the length of my Amazon wishlist, I originally edited and posted that image for Midgets because he wasn't able to. So the credit should go to him!
