    This is simply awesome. I wish all TOSs were written like this. I wish this forum's TOS was written like this.

    http://slacktory.com/2011/08/entire-facebook-terms-of-service-in-bro-speak/

    This translation contains bad language and adult situations, and is rated PG-13. You have been warned.

    A sample you say?

    It is literally all 12000 pages of the Facebook TOS. And the scary thing is, I think it is pretty accurate.

    Facebook: Smells Like Enron
    6/08/12 --- In the world of investing, people tend to see only what they want to see, which can cause a world of pain. On this turf, "what you see is what you get" has never worked. "Due diligence" rules, as corporations have become highly skilled at pretending to be something they are not. One primary example being Enron, which not only brought increased scrutiny to corporate disclosures, but generated a new breed of investors filled with pessimism and mistrust toward Wall Street.

    Don't use facebook - it has become the true "opiate of the mass" - not only is it bad habit, but you're exposing yourselves while letting zuckerBIRD get rich and own your information in the process..
