Finding Amusement In The Facebook Nickleback Trick

I was amused to see that someone has put together a page where you can find out which of your Facebook friends likes Nickleback, supposedly for the purpose of finding out who you should unfriend. I wouldn’t unfriend people just because they like something I don’t like, but I did think this was funny.

Personally, I’m not even sure who Nickleback really is. If I’ve heard any of their music before, I’m not immediately aware of it. I’m certainly not a big fan. I don’t think my MP3 library has a single song of their. However, I’m not exactly a huge hater either. I just don’t know enough about them to feel passionate one way or another.

Apparently someone does, though. Apparently some people really, really hate Nickleback. That’s amusing in and of itself. Putting together a page so you can seek out and commit defriending vengeance on people who do like them is even funnier.

I don’t know, maybe Nickleback deserves this. Maybe they don’t. The fact this kind of thing is generated is humorous either way.
