Facebook Groups: "Where Is The Love?" or "How I Loved The Clicks" or "Zeitgeist Today: How People Tend To Make Money Out Of Everything"

So many headlines to choose from, so little will to choose only one.

Browsing through Facebook again and one more time, I realize one thing: Facebook groups became a clusterfuck. There are groups who are really doing an amazing job at delivering what people feel asking for but then there are some things which really rather show the "bad" side of Facebook groups. Three things may be a reason: being on Facebook, being better than Facebook and being Facebook.
Sounds interesting or totally ridiculous and you ask how that comes together with reason?
Then read on!

What Aristocrats Offer, What Courts Do Buy

Source it's based on:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ethan-couch-texas-quadruple-murderer--or-a-victim-of-affluenza-9004308.html


Reading this made me angry; actually I've found that article through a Youtube channel I just subscribed to which brings up some news in short form and I was surprised that it seemed so thoroughly researched.
And hearing what I've heard just shocked me so much, that I've written a status on Facebook about it which I have never(!) done in my life, that enraged I was.
But what is it about and how does all that look to me? Does anything there make sense?

Web Site Story #2: Love Is Blind, But Hate Is Also Blind

Heard some new celebrity news recently? Like JB or Miley misbehaving over and over again? Well, if so, then I can assume that you hate them. And, guess what will annoy you the most when reading that: days after, you see how unaffected they are of bad things and the fans fawn over them, maybe even more than before. Sounds unjust to you and therefore a reason to hate somebody? Well, you aren't alone there. I have the same feelings, too...well, partially have, partially had - but let's get into the big influence of fan bases/fandoms to outsiders and how they can be blamed for a star's reputation or not.

Internet Phenomanon #1 - Emoticon(fusion)

So...let's explain: I'm weak against smileys, emoticons etc.
Normally, like 6 months ago, I wouldn't even dare to use them since I've found them totally overused and way too clichéed.
Guess what happened. XD
Yeah...that moment where you realize that you spam them unconsciously all over the place. Which doesn't mean that you know about them completely.
Here are some thoughts and the award for the in my opinion most confusing emoticons.

Hunger Games - McDonalds Edition


Interesting what you can go through your mind when you participate in a lottery. Well, not exactly "participate" but I hope you know what I mean. Yes, the McDonalds Monopoly has made ​​clear to me how the marketing strikes sometimes unnoticed - or rather said - should strike. Here some thoughts.

Introduction, Stuff and Formalities

So...my first post then, huh? Seems like it.
Welcome everyone to my new blog called "The Rambler's Den"!
Actually it's quite a new experience to write freely my thoughts, experiences and ramblings I have in mind on a blog visible for everybody.
And without much rambling (which somehow contradicts the blog's purpose already -_- ), let's introduce myself!
