Facebok Is Trying To Copyright Joy

By Mark Lorenz on August 27th, 2010

Facebook is trying to rival Google as the precursor to Skynet – only they aren’t doing it intelligently.

Mark Zuckerberg has pretty much everything a man in his twenties could want – a thriving business, a worldwide presence, a motion picture based off of his life, books based off of the same, and a house. But he wants more. Specifically, copyrights based off of commonly used phrases.

Mark Zuckerberg has a pretty long track-record of socially inept douchebaggery – from screwing over his friends from hundreds of millions of dollars, to stealing the initial idea and implementation of Facebook, to sweating like a pig and being unable to answer questions about privacy implementation during massive tech conferences.

And now he’s trying to copyright basic phrases such as liking things, or anything that includes the word face. Which would interfere with Apple (Facetime), movies (facehuggers), porno (facefucking), and a myriad of other face-related items. Think of a world where Facebook owns the word face. There’d be a limited amount of lines you could draw from in a movie like Fast and the Furious, you couldn’t even have the word face in a title of a movie without paying Mark Zuckerberg.

Not to mention liking things. Mark Zuckerberg might as well copyright joy, or attempt to, in his quest to find it.
