Facebook Fan Pages

What’s with all of these fan pages on Facebook lately? Some of them are amusing but most of them are just pointless. Some of my friends are fans of 1000+ pages. Seriously? I don’t even have words for this. I’ll become fans of my favorite TV shows, music artists, or things that I genuinely like or enjoy, but I see people becoming fans of “ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO.” or " heeeeeeeey!(:" ..."hi" nvm i dont wanna talk anymore.” I just don’t understand. All of these fan pages as well as Mafia Wars and Farmville notifications and requests are clogging up my news feed. Facebook used to be a useful tool but now it feels like I’m in 2003 again using MySpace.
