Facebook leak! Crude language infiltrates facebook programing!
Do you want to see something interesting? Something I sincerely hope just slipped through the Facebook cracks? Some programer's idea of a joke?
Follow these instructions, but be forewarned, some may find the language a bit offensive.
Facebook posts inappropriate language, and Facebook goes ghetto:
1) Log into facebook
2) Change your language to English (pirate)
Go to the very bottom of the facebook page. Click your language at the bottom (i.e. "English (US)")
3) Log out of your facebook account.
(Go up to "Yarr Vessel" in the top right hand corner. Click. Scroll down to "Abandon Ship" at the bottom of the menu that pops up. Click)
4) Search an organization, business, or person you know has a facebook page.
For example: Mark Zuckerberg
(Click Mark's name or use this link:)
http://www.facebook.com/markzuckerberg
5) Like that person, buisness, etc.
(Click the "Arr" with the thumbs up symbol)
6) Since you are logged out, facebook will ask if you want to sign up. Say yes by clicking "Make Yer Mark An' Set Sail"
7) Voila! There you have it folks! The Facebook error! The Facebook fail! The Facebook leak! Does Facebook let this slip through the cracks, or does it just think it's gangster friendly and instead comes out sounding racist? A screen shot is shown here for your convenience.
Facebook has grown into a world wide organization. It has millions of users logging in and connecting all around the globe. I know that the site was started by college students, but don't you think that once the organization grew as it did, they would realize that they should be a bit more professional? This isn't just some college social organization anymore. This is a global social network, where people of all different ethnicities, countries, ages, etc. come together to communicate. What is Facebook trying to communicate with this kind of language?
How could Facebook let this slip through the cracks?
What are your thoughts?
