Want Love, a Fake Gay Marriage or Just a Poke? Facebook Helps

For friendship, a relationship, random play or whatever you can get, Facebook.com can help you nail an equally drunk, confused and vacuous co-ed.

Facebook has kept its head down in the media since the stalker-feed inclusion and the shedding of its university exclusivity, but finally there’s a spoof worthy of mention. Produced for EXPOSED, a TV show for University of Southern California, and directed by Mu SunIn, this eHarmony-style infomercial gets the tone down perfectly, from the pompous manner of the narrator to the non-serious-but-serious use of relationship status on the site. And we love the self-conscious indifference leaking out of Walter Pederovsky’s pores.

…What is that poking function anyway?
