Book-A-Face!

Do you use Facebook? Love to write on your friends' walls, see their pictures (and make your own with silly tags), take quizzes, and poke everyone? Of course you do! However, did you know that in the last year, the time spent on Facebook increased 700% - almost 14 million minutes per day in the US [1]? That's 231,210 hours... every day!

Such a time sink is setting the ones falling into it behind... but with our new worldwide service, you can get ahead!

But how can you have more time to get ahead and not neglect your friends or your farm? You can use one of our Faces!

Our Faces are trained [*] professionals who will manage your menial Facebook tasks such as growing your crops, answering comments with "lol", answering quizzes where the answers really don't matter at all, and clicking "ignore" every 5 minutes when your mom tries to friend you. Of course, their behavior is customizable to your personality, so they can truly be your perfect Face [†].

Depending on your instructions, they can post cryptic statuses (e.g. "love is like a bicycle."), add applications, join books, and even post links from YouTube! When they finish, they also leave you a private message with a convenient, readable digest of everything they did and what important things happened while you were gone.

All this for only $0.50 per day [‡]. That's right, that's half a dollar! Cheaper than your neighbor - and even your younger siblings - will ever even consider charging for such quality service.

Just go to bookaface.com to get started, and take charge of the time others don't have!

No, I have not gone completely bananas.

This was merely the "worst idea" I could think of. And I still think that if you managed to get an outsourcing center in India to cooperate, this could work.

Not a terrible idea. People *would* actually pay for this... pretty damn funny though.
