Lamebook fundraiser party raises money for legal fight against Facebook

Facebook parody blog Lamebook has been sued by Facebook for some reason, and its founders are in need of some money for legal fees, so they're throwing a huge party this Friday.

The legal wrangling has left the founders of the site, graphic designers Jonathan Standefer and Matthew Genitempo, on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars in lawyer’s bills, prompting them to reach out to fans to donate a few bucks to help their cause: defending their first amendment right to make fun of whomever they damn well please.

And so, at 7:00PM this Friday, January 21st at Shangri-La in Austin, Texas, Lamebook is asking fans to come out, donate some moolah to their cause, have a few drinks, and be entertained by a variety of guests including ruthlessly inventive Austin DJ duo Learning Secrets; the all-singing, all-dancing one-man party Neiliyo; some of Lamebook’s best posts read LIVE by members of the New Movement Theater; and delicious vittles served up by the trailer foodies at Pig Vicious. Photographer extraordinaire Annie Ray (annieray.net) will be on hand to chronicle it all. Suggested donation is only $5 which ensures FREE BEER (as long as it lasts!) and the knowledge that attendees are doing their part to ensure that the first amendment applies to everyone, all the way down to the little guys.

Facebook conversation of the day

Translation:

Girl in pink - (Laughs), these little girls are hilarious by saying that they love these black gentlemen. It's obvious that you aren't the only person that loves them. These days, black gentlemen are not faithful because I have a few black companions that do that. But I won't tell, (laughs). But if only you knew what these black gentlemen do when their significant others aren't present. (Laughs), I am thoroughly enjoying my life.

Person with hat - It's funny that you posted that, it reminds me of a male that looks for a female to simply have sex with, only to get their feelings hurt by unintelligent women.

Girl in pink - Yes, this is hilarious.

Girl in Pink - But I digress, there are large portions of the black populace that partakes in infidelity.

Person with hat - Exactly, these black gentlemen will say anything.

Girl in pink - I try to warn my friends of their deception, but they won't listen. It seems that they must learn their lesson the hard way.

Person with hat - They aren't ever going to learn because they haven't realized that playing games with these black gentlemen isn't cool.

Girl in pink - And how.

Person with phone - I agree, (laughs).

Girl in pink - (Laughs)

Facebook: relationships visualized

Paul Butler, Facebook intern, made a map by connecting the dots between friends on the network. He started with a sample of 10 million friend pairs, correlated them with their current cities and then mapped that data using the longitude and latitude of each city.
