Challenge: come up with ideas for the worst Facebook applications possible.
1) "Face-Scrap-Booking!" Combining all the fun of scrapbooking with the unlimited resources of the internet. Turn your Facebook page into a beautifully presented scrapbook! Add photos, frames, backgrounds and colour schemes to make your page the perfect tribute to someone or something you love.
2) "Find Your Perfect (in)Mate!" All you have to do is take a simple quiz and we'll match you to one of thousands of eligible men in the Federal prison system. They're lonely, well-muscled, and used to being told what to do. They're already house-trained... in the Big House! We give you their photo, name, age, remaining prison time, and a list of tattoos and gang affiliations.
3) "Which Poo R U?" Are you a floater? A brown and dirty? A slippery-dip? Find out in this quick and easy quiz! We'll put a pic on your page of the type of poo you are, with a list of what to expect from each category of defecation! Smells like a winner!
4) "Women's Monthly". Have you been looking for a way to warn people that it's 'that time of the month'? That 'Aunt Irma is visiting'? That you're 'surfing the crimson wave'? Well look no further! With this simple addition to your Facebook page, you can tell the world whether they can expect a friendly smile or a flipped bird when they see you next. You get to be as publicly grumpy as you want, safe in the knowledge that anyone bothering you has a reeeaally good reason.
5) "Jews vs Arabs!" Are you a Jew or an Arab?!?! Join the war now! Invite others to join your Arabic Army or Israeli Insurgents! Keep an eye on the world news to keep score of the number of dead enemy members - our Facebook: Israel and Facebook: al-Jazeera sites keep a running tally! So get out and get another 'He-bro' on the team! Get Sue to add '-icide bomber' to her name for the Arabs! Let's settle this millenia-old conflict once and for all - online!
Surprisingly, I can see a few of these working. The Face-Scrap-Booking is actually pretty similar to ... Myspace... but I actually think a lot of women would like somewhere they could use some easy to use graphic tools to create the look and feel of a scrapbook online. I only put it in my list because it's so incredibly gay. Jews vs Arabs is the next logical step from Vampires vs Werewolves and Pirates vs Ninjas. And did you know that the Women's Weekly was originally named the Women's Monthly, but someone told Frank Packer that it might start to remind people of something else that came once a month, and he changed it to the less accurate Weekly masthead? No, I didn't think so. Find Your Perfect (in)Mate is actually something kinda going on online already - I see ads for prison dating websites in rap magazines all the time.
