Look at this picture, if you will, and answer the question that follows, to the best of your ability:
Here goes with the question – ready?
What is wrong with me?
Clearly, there’s something seriously amiss here because
a) I have no idea whether my detergent is Ariel or any of the numerous other brands available.
b) Even if I did know, I would be highly, bordering on totally, unlikely to click like with the intention of finding out how many other Ariel users were on Facebook.
c) I find it reasonably distressing that 532 people have already clicked like, and wonder if there’s something wrong with them, or if they are all Ariel employees or agents. I mean, could it be that there are people out there desperate enough to belong to something – anything – that they will swear allegiance to a detergent in order to be part of a group?
Is it just me? Quite often, it is, so I do need to check.
Answers on a postcard, if you please.
I especially don’t get it because I thought Ariel was a goddess and how complicated would that be if there were an Ariel in every home? What with her relatives and all?
And, well, Facebook leaves me cold. Not because of inanity like this, but because it screams of our individual loneliness and desperation to connect. Which makes me cold.
I have ariel!
533….
Lyons Tea. Lyons Tea is on my FB every damn day because a 19year old I know ‘liked it.’ sigh. I really need FB to tell me that I might want to like tea?
