If You Die First, Mashable Will Publish Your Last Words

first_to_die_mashable.jpg

Well this is kind of creepy. Perhaps you’ve heard of the If I Die Facebook app. It allows you to set up your “last words” to be published on Facebook when you die. To promote the service, Mizbala Group and twentythree have launched If I Die First, a campaign that hypes the service and promises that if you are the first user to die, your last words will be featured on Mashable and elsewhere. All in the name of lasting world fame, or so the campaign claims.

Campaign or not, the first person using the service who dies is going to be news anyway. Why? Because we love twisted shit like this

My husband and I have weekly date nights where we leave our daughter with the nanny and go out for dinner and drinks — and the number of people who’ve called that selfish taught me that most couples stop prioritizing their marriage the second they become parents, and then wonder why they feel like roommates

I’m 73, my daughter is 44, and if you asked us both to describe our family we’d tell you two completely different stories — in hers I was controlling and unavailable, in mine I was holding everything together with both hands — and the distance between those two versions is the exact space where most parent-child relationships go to die
