Facebook “Like” Fails (Contest)

By Derek

Facebook lets you “like” most anything these days, and recently their supercomputers started taking guesses at things you might like based on your current interests (check the right column when you log in if this doesn’t sound familiar).

Why This Is Interesting

Facebook’s guesses are purely data driven. They usually make sense but not always. For example, behold this steaming turd of a suggestion I received:

This got me wondering about how awesomely weird/ironic/offensive can these get?

The Challenge

Screen shot “interesting” suggestions from Facebook and submit them either via reply or leave comment on our FB page (or my personal page if you know me).

“Prize”

Prize in quotes because we don’t have real shit to give you. But submit something awesome and we will promote the entity of your choice with some link love and an FB like button in a results post. That entity can be yourself. Or the fan page for cancer, I dunno, whatever.

Related note: Now you can start like-ing Brasky posts (no worries, we’ll get the “hate” button up for you as soon as it’s out of alpha). Try it and receive a free iPod:

USA LOSES SOCCER

By Derek
BRASKY WORLD CUP SPECIAL

After a spirited effort over Algeria to advance from group play at the World Cup, the USA team lost to Ghana 2-1 in extra time. Soon after England, who also advanced from group play, lost to Germany 4-1. American sportscaster Mike Tirico and Englishmen Steve McManaman looked pretty OK about it when an accidental live shot cut on the screen.

This marks the second consecutive world cup that the USA club was ousted by Ghana:

In seriousness, cheers to the US squad and Bob Bradley for a strong showing. Next match: 2014. Hopefully.
