Facebook Went Down & Everyone From Shep Smith To Twitter Mocked It In Most Sarcastic Way Possible
Facebook went offline for an hour or so yesterday and for some of us it must have felt like the end of the world. Maybe you noticed maybe you didn't. It certainly caused a storm on social media (well, social media that wasn't Facebook) as people made with the jokes under hashtag #FacebookDown.
And it wasn't just social media that was ridiculing Facebook, even Fox News' Shep Smith decided to make some snarky remarks. In his breaking news report on the issue, which seems like a joke in itself, he deadpanned the most sarcastic report he could muster.
"Facebook's down...so, if you're all narcissistic and want to share every bit of your life with the world, they don't care anyway, and a few minutes off Facebook will not kill you." is how he opened. It was probably the best possible way he could've reported the outage, so fair play to him.
Meanwhile, over on Twitter people were picking up where he left off. From mock imagining what must be going down at Facebook HQ to feeling sorry for those whose birthday it might be and are missing out on all those messages.
It was a beautiful moment of people coming together in order to collectively laugh at their rival social media users.
Facebook has been down for so long I've forgotten what it's like to feel horribly insecure about my lifestyle #facebookdown
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. #FacebookDown
Facebookers who aren't on Twitter are currently resetting their router for the 87the time. #facebookdown
Breaking out in a sweat here. Is it wine o'clock yet? Has my cousin's mate been for a run? How many scan photos have I missed?#facebookdown
I hear that Twitter agreed to take in 10 million Facebook refugees yesterday. Hope normality return today #facebookdown
Just went downstairs and spent some time with my wife and kids while #facebookdown. They seem like nice people
I can tell Facebook is down, because all my tweets are now just invitations from people I went to school with asking me to play Farmville.
Facebook is down. Millions of underage mothers worldwide now have to raise their babies instead of posting updates about them #facebookdown
People screaming, walking & crying on streets, holding their pictures & asking "Do you like my photo? Do you?" #FacebookDown
Facebook was down for the 3rd time in a month. That means there are going to be so many #facebookdown babies in 9 months. #TheDateDoctor
