Save A Life: REPOST! / Cancer and the Cancer that Plagues Cancer

     The most recent thing to come under our Snark-dar (Snark radar for those of you who lack the linguistic skills to speak Snarkese- I think there's a Rosetta Stone coming out soon for that btw), have been the copious cause related posts on FB. These bulletins are alarming. Well, no, that's not the word... Eye-opening. Uh-uh, nope. Boring? A little, but still not it. Redundant? Getting closer. Ineffectual, useless, worthless, a GREAT big waste of your time and mine? THAT'S IT!!
     You know what we're talking about. Those 'Re-post if you support "fill in the cause." ' Or, the 'Post if you support this particular political agenda.' Or, (our absolute favorite), 'Re-post if you believe in "fill in the deity." ' Because, if you don't re-post, God will know you don't love Him, because God watches ALL things. Even FB. His account is Iam DaFada. I believe He has an additional, Son N. DeHolyghost.... (Is it getting warmer in here, or is it just me?)
     One of the more recent to join the tribe of post spam ('cause let's be real folks- THAT'S what it IS), has been the: 'Re-post if you have a sister, brother, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, neighbor, co-worker, friend of a friend, acquaintance, or sister's mother's father's bishop, who has died from or been affected by cancer.' YOUR post COULD save a life!! And remember, the life you save could be your OWN!!
     Apparently, somewhere on FB, cancer lurks. It goes by the name of Mal Ignant. When you read his profile it says: Chain smoker for fifty plus years, works at Asbestos R Us, and loves to hang out in small, dark spaces. He is available and looking for anyone to love. (Cue in Queen: Find me somebody to lo-ove, find me somebody to lo-ove....) His favorite song is Cancer, by My Chemical Romance, (he's sooo narcissistic, he loves anything about him- he's so vain, he prob'ly thinks this blog is about him...), and his favorite album is No Cure For Cancer, by Denis Leary.
     He is constantly patrolling FB. He is watching all those posts and re-posts. Because each one takes just a little more power away from him. Forget cancer walks, forget donations, forget scientific research. The battle is on FB. It is an epic battle on a not-so-epic battlefield. And he is winning folks. Because you have FAILED to re-post.
