Greece no longer a nation: Announces plan to become social network.

http://www.borowitzreport.com/


IPO Imminent for FetaBook

ATHENS (The Borowitz Report) – After struggling for months with an intractable financial crisis, Greece announced today that it would cease to exist as a sovereign nation and would instead reboot itself as a social network.

The new entity, FetaBook, is expected to raise much-needed billions in an upcoming IPO.

The social network formerly known as Greece announced that it would cancel its upcoming elections and instead install a CEO, a 24-year-old hacker from suburban Athens named Ciro Mavromatidis.

Borowitz cracks me up! Love that guy!

leaving snide comments on any pictures of Greece with new friends.

Maybe drunk-message at 3 in the morning that they should totally get back together.

Bitter exes and all.
