Janis Joplin once sang
out, “nothing ain't worth nothing but its free”! Maybe she was
talking about the future, with this Facebook stock wimp-out – or
whimp-out if you like treading water while losing money. Talk about a
“ball'n chain” affair, as Sukerberg can't be found – it ain't
his problem! But those that lost money on the opening bell are
threatening to use the ball'n chain in a public hanging! Yet in
retrospect, with the “Face”, it is merely a reality mind-game on
steroids. So is the IPO affair, just another reality hit wherein too
much Cialis & Viagra went ingested before the 1st
inning opening and as warned against, if an erection lasts longer
then 4-hours....With this so far miserable face off, does it really
have a worth on Wall Street? When I see adults especially, “tuned in” and "turned on" to this “Face-booking” phenomenon, it backs my theory that
it is basically the biggest human video game to ever come into
existence. “Social Networking”, did Sarah Palin coin this
defining movement? It is made easy, comes equipped with a display and
game control all in one, and you can carry it with you. Toilet time,
not a problem. And it can be programmed to wake you up in the middle
of a peaceful night's sleep, when somebody on your list of
degenerates defaces your ego. Even dogs are beginning to hate this
instant messaging, as they think the wake-up call is time for the
business. And with the options available, like dating through digital
transformation, we have become walking fools addicted to the greatest
“scam” reality show of the century. And real-time connectivity,
at 4g's, whatever the hell that means. Is the “g” for
acceleration? Or is it a measure of how fast we are wasting our time
with staying in touch. Look, the modern day connectivity does have
merit, but like any addiction, it must be used with caution. There
does come a limit, sane or....And game “control” rings a bell of
interest. It appears to be great entertainment for most, and its
“free”! So who is getting screwed over this wimp-out upon this
long awaited IPO? Remember, it is free. What assets? Probably the
most valued assets are the David Choe murals at the Face's
Headquarters, estimated value at $200-million. Hurry up, place the
paintings in receivership. As the lawsuits are flying from the
stockers and brokers that thought they could become Zukerman's pen
pal overnight. He's enjoying his honeymoon. That “ball'n chain”
thing, give him a little breathing room! Class action suits? Look,
only the law firms make a killing with this type of litigation –
the class action with a no-class outcome for those in harms way. I
was once a client for a giant law firm, in a class action suit
against SEARS. Wow, the firm made millions, I was awarded a gift
certificate, to SEARS. But due to my outward rage over the fact that
the SEARS accountants had manipulated my credit, I was banned from
entering any of the SEARS branches in and around Anchorage. I tried
giving the coupons to a homeless person, he laughed! So we can thank
Sukermen for something very heroic in this day and age of class
warfare. I would wager that it is the muddle class – not a typo –
that enjoys the benefits of something for free. And how many of the
proletariat class called in orders for the stock, when the “Bell”
sounded on that long awaited day? Look, I haven't called my broker
for a long time, as he went missing in action many years ago, when
the “bubble” busted. In fact, my stock portfolio went missing in
action, and am I really responsible for the “negative” debt? How
can you take something from nothing? Here is my take on it, with
todays gambling – the stock market. When somebody loses money,
doesn't it mean there is somebody on the gain? “One man's loses are
another crook's gains”? The money isn't set afire, it goes in
somebody else's wallet – or offshore bank account. So it was the
greedsters that thought there was a ways and means to make a zillion
on the Stuxnet stock, I meant the Zukerberg stock. “Berg” rings a
bell, like cold as an iceberg! And I am glad to see it tank, and
continue to tank, as it ain't worth its weight in dog crap – except
for the “murals”. There is a lesson to be learned. As once it was
decided to send the company's worth – the murals - into the public
domain, there came rumors that the shareholders were already looking
for a way to get blood out of a turnip, by selling out the “freedom”
clause and showing interest to charge for using the “social
network”, now that a majority of users had become hooked on this
craze - of facing off with others with breathing room and for the
most part, a safe distance away. Call it Face Rage, as it is so easy
to fire a shot off, like shrapnel, it goes in every direction, then
some. And since the advertisement benefit of this craze had been
wanning, due the fact that nobody gives a crap about stuff of
interest any longer, going public is the biggest Madoff bluff of all
times. Look, I haven't seen a commercial of interest that has caught
my interest for eons. Watching a Budweiser commercial is like
reminiscing the days of teenage marathon pukeathons. Companies still
in tune to the ways of old are fools, see we are a modern society –
that is why we embrace new technologies. Advertising is an outdated
ritual! We already know what we like and want in life, and it is
something that is of hereditary - like a religion, like beer likings,
like father like mother like son & like daughter followings.
Don't need advertisements. So there is no need to advertise in this
day and age. Imagine if the money spent for ads was used to uplift
wages? Instead of a hoarding of the wealth, as what was supposed to
be behind this IPO offering, but now the losers are crying “wolf”.
Thanks Yuk, for showing us the fact of the matter that “You can
fool most of the people most of the time”! Good luck, and enjoy
your “Ball'n chain” moon!
