Q: what’s the best way to publicly acknowledge that you hate someone on facebook without people taking it as a joke or without driving the person you hate to suicide or without having people think you are a total B. -Anonymous
A: I’m gonna level with you, Anonymous. I hate a lot of people. Like a lot. Outside of my mother and father, my entire FB friends list is filled with people I’d rather stab than hug. So you and I, we understand each other. Don’t be ashamed— let your hate flag fly, girl! No one’s gonna end it all over a catty FB message, so go to town. If you think someone is a skank, say so. If some trick stole your man, let the world know! There’s no reason to keep your hate to yourself. There is such a thing as free speech, and I suggest you get to exercising it. My philosophy is that if Facebook isn’t hurting someone’s feelings (or your own), you’re doing something wrong. Now that that’s settled, the best way to go public with your loathing is to go straight Mad Men and take out a Facebook ad. It’s like putting an ad in the newspaper, except on Facebook, people will actually read what you have to say. You won’t have many words to get your point across, but unless this person you despise happens to be without a brain cell, they will know 100% that they are hated. And more importantly, so will the rest of Facebook’s 30 million users. So get out there and make Don Draper proud!
Love,
Lauren
