Satire Idearrr
I will be satirizing facebook. To do this, I will either make a fake facebook page with pictures of people in front of mirrors (trying to look as good as they can) and statuses that have been updated way too many times in a day with words like "your" used incorrectly, or I will write about a typical facebook visit- one that was intended to last only a few minutes, but ends up being two hours because you needed a new profile picture, and needed to respond to every single notification, and have an hour and a half chat session consisting of 4 worded sentences at most with a person you barely know but added them on facebook and you want to get to know them better. It will comment on the lack of confidence people have and are afraid to have ugly pictures of themselves on their profiles, how people just resort to technology for communication these days, and how lazy people have become with spelling and grammar. A little shaky right now, but hopefully it works out.

I think it's a good idea. While the first one seems like a good idea, it doesn't seem to have the depth of the second one. It just seems harder to capture the everything you're trying to say with just the page, whereas writing about the Facebook visit could really do everything you want it to.
