Ch-Ch-Changes! Big ones! To your dearly beloved book, of the face variety! Ah yes, Facebook has finally switched permanently to the dark side (a.k.a. New Facebook, a.k.a. Satan’s Vessel of Evil).) At least, that’s what they want us to think … But you already knew this.

Naturally, everyone absolutely hates the new Facebook, so it’s being protested in the only way our generation knows how (besides taking to the trees)–with Facebook groups, created with love right there in the womb of the Zuckerberg demon, himself. What’s that we smell? Why, it’s gotta be the bittersweet aroma of irony!

In a matter of weeks, groups have managed to amass literally millions of members.

*1,000,000 AGAINST THE NEW FACEBOOK LAYOUT! has already more than doubled its titular goal, coming in at 2,506,951 members. That’s a lot of people who really hate the new Facebook. Just to put this into perspective, though, The Largest Facebook Group Ever has a meager 1,223, 094 members and, sadly, I Bet I Can Find 1,000,000 People Who Just Want Peace bet wrong. It’s got 210, 300 members. Ouch.

*Petition Against the “New Facebook” is growing by the minute, and was apparently mentioned by CNN. (Huzzah, almost-legitimacy!) As of now, it has 1,570,654 members.

*Our personal favorite is the interestingly-named, IF 10 MILLION JOIN MARC ZOMBERG WILL BRING BACK THE OLD FACEBOOK! We’re not sure who this magical omnipotent presence “Marc Zomberg” is supposed to be, but he’s clearly power trippin’. While this group hasn’t exactly come close to its purported goal of 10 million, it does have 729,982 members, which is roughly 30 times the number of undergraduates at Berkeley.

Looks like today’s youth have their priorities in order. Yeesh.

“Lightening Up” is a Clog special devoted to link-stacking … er … finding Facebook groups of interest. And by interest, we mean anything that seems amusing to us at the time. Since there are millions upon millions of Facebook groups which surely must amuse someone, this special will NEVER DIE.
