3. Of course. There are a lot of lonely people

in the world looking to make some sort of connection and a little affirmation.

Is that really such a surprise?

4. i gotta call "horseshit" on this one.

Not buying it for a second. On FB several times a day, but not because of low self-esteem. Also, my circle is chock-full of upbeat, outgoing people - not a bunch if depressed sad sacks. I'm not buying that the majority of users have low self esteem. Maybe the majority of people who signed up for the study...

EVERYONE must place themselves at the centre of the universe immediately, it has been confirmed.



Officials have warned that anyone who does not share everything about themselves constantly will face severe penalties, up to and including being thought of as a bit weird.


But the Department of Social Cohesion reassured people that the new rules were merely a routine upgrade of the current system of inter-connected self-involvement.


"This innovation will bring connecting and sharing closer to its ultimate goal of a perfect world where no-one is interested in anything that is not them."


The spokesman added: "We will soon have a truly modular society where opinions and photographs bounce off the surface of each other's see-through electric pods without distracting us from ourselves."

Helen Archer, from Stevenage, said: "I always wanted to launch a full-colour magazine about myself with a big picture of me on the cover every week looking beautiful or quirky or just really 'me'.
