Farcebook, the New Sunset Boulevard

Remember that creepy movie in which Gloria Swanson played an old movie star living in the past? She had a butler keep the lights dim so she could keep up the illusion that she was still young and desirable.

Old movie stars don't need a butler anymore. All they need is FARCEBOOK.

They upload vintage pictures from FORTY or FIFTY years ago.

Not only do these inane drone-fans leave absurd compliments, they often go seek these relics out at memorabilia shows, pose with them, and insist, "You haven't changed a bit!"

What an interesting "relationship" the D-listers and the Dumbasses have. The ones on Farcebook almost always are there to promote upcoming "personal appearances." The ex-stars rely on the kindness of strangers, and these strangers take a streetcar named desire for hours and hours just to pay for an autograph at a memorabilia show. They walk away feeling like they did a good deed. And the star has had a "high" from all the nice words and, more enduring, a pile of slightly sweat-stained cash.

Reality anyone?
