Facebook recently tried to ask me what sports teams I liked. They wouldn't accept the answer of "loose butthole." I guess they knew that wasn't a sports team.

I generally refuse to like things on Facebook, including (especially) content providers. The few things I have liked on Facebook are generally small start-up bands and brands - where I feel my "like" actually matters or when I really do want to know what they are up to locally - or they are tongue-in-cheek. For instance I have one "Inspirational Person" and it's RIchard Nixon.

I don't like Facebook asking me to tell it stuff, but it asking doesn't mean I'll tell.
