Hacked by Mitt Romney
Yesterday, while browsing Facebook, a friend messaged me saying, "Uh, Mark, I just got a notification that you "Liked" Mitt Romney (his FB page). Thought I should tell you." This was strange, because I've never even visited Romney's Facebook page. So I went to the page and, sure enough, the "Like" button indicated "Liked." I immediately "unliked" it, and updated my status alerting folks to the bogus "Like" and assuring them that I do not now like, have not in the past liked, nor will ever in the future "Like" Mitt Romney, either the FB page or the candidate!
At that point, another friend commented, informing me that this has been a known issue on Facebook, and there's even a page dedicated to it named, "Hacked by Mitt Romney," where hundreds of others are reporting similar bogus "Likes." How pathetic is that?

On my Wall/Newsfeed (whatever) page a post showed up saying a friend of mine "Liked" Mittl Romney. Okay, no problem, I'll just "Hide" it. Although I clicked "Hide" 8 times it was still there. By this time, I was a little aggravated, enough so to "Un-Friend" the person. I Friended him because he was (supposedly) a musician like myself but he turned out to be a head-banger wannabe. So, both the "Like" Mitt posting and the head-banger wannabe are gone. Ta-Da! Win-Win for me!!
