Ready to rumble? Try Hatebook, not Facebook
Bored with Facebook?
How ‘bout Hatebook. It’s where to go to be anti-social. It’s a place where you can join in social-networking with people who share a common dislike.
When you join, a box pops up, saying “welcome sucker.” Puts you right in the mood.
Ready to take some cheap shots? There’s a group that hates public toilets. Or the bunch that gets ticked at old people who drive. Or even, the grumbling groupies who hate improper grammar.
There are groups who hate “ignorant bigots,” neighbors who rummage through garbage and cliquey social scenes. Some of the group names are profane so those who hate curse words might stay away.
Several networking groups have political origins — those who hate liberals, Britian’s Tony Blair and the Labour Party, conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly and activist movie director Michael Moore.
Personally, I think I’d fit in with the groups that hate personalized license plates and get steamed when they see the text message “please call me now.”
Techtree.com said there are a couple of similar sites, Snubster and Enemybook. If anybody checks them out, post a comment.
