10 Reasons Why You Should Quit Facebook Today.

Let's face it, since Facebook burst onto the scene six years ago like a bad case of the bubonic plague you've become an addict. We've been meaning to speak with you about your illness but we've been too busy playing Farmville.

We know that you love posting pictures of everything you do, commenting on updates of people you hardly know and stalking your old high-school girlfriend (who doesn't?), but we're really starting to worry about your health. Fortunately the Facebook disease (known in scientific circles as face-bookus-too-muchus) is completely curable and we have come up with the ten best reasons why you should quit Facebook today cold turkey.

10. You'll stop having to pretend you didn't see your weird uncle's friend request.
9. No more virtual poking, which will leave you plenty of time to take up real life poking (hopefully you have a good lawyer).
8. You can't hug a digital friend.
7. No more un-tagging photos others have posted of you drinking, vomiting or doing both simultaneously (a true art)
6. Stalking is so 2009.
5. If you don't remember someone's birthday you don't have to buy them a gift (it's a true law, I looked it up)
4. No more wall-post arguments (seriously guys, if you're going to argue about whether Star Trek or Star Wars is superior let's keep it to the forum-boards where dialogue guaranteed to repel the opposite sex belongs)
3. Because privacy is better than "privacy"…*wink wink*
2. Actual reality > Virtual reality
1. Your mom doesn't care how many Facebook friends you have, she already thinks you're cool.
