OT: Facebook and InstaGram

How the heck can anyone signup for FaceBook when it rejects an e-mail address as being "a valid email address"?

After that impossible hurdle is passed, there is a worse one for InstaGram in that one of the graphical "words" used to match is so distorted as to be impossible to recognize some of the "characters". The "sound" version is worse.

How do people sign up, or is it all a great farce?

Why do people want to sign up for Facebook? So that NSA may track them more easily ?>:-} ...Jim Thompson

Perhaps he wants to tell them to get off his lawn.

I do not give a s*t about FaceBook, but about InstaGram which is impossible to sign up and/or sign in; "captcha" gives those impossible to recognize "words" to match. InstaGram indicates that one could "validate" via FaceBook. Otherwise, InstaGram gives *NO* way to register (and the "captcha" BS kills entry).

"Lawn"?? What is that?

Yes it can! When spelling, grammar and punctuation is in place, they know it's not a snot nose youth.

Try using some brother hood urban type lingo next time, bother!

Instagram takes a perfectly good looking photograph from a smartphone and turns it into shit. They call it filtering, I call it shit.

You can also skip the shit filtering, and then it is just a photo sharing app.

Totally stupid, like all social media.

One billion dollars for that shitty company that basically makes nothing other than crappification of images.

The "ad" is in extremely bad taste, to say the least. Can one presume that it was staged (ie: is a "crock")?

When has advertising ever had any taste, other than bad? Do you really think the woman was swallowed whole?

Well, now,crocodiles do gulp before chew. This one is extra large stage "prop" and most likely has the geometry of an extra tall doughnut so that the "victim" can be pulled thru.
