Inbox Me a Question and I Will Answer it in my Blog...

Not really, actually the point of the title was to exemplify how lame the new trend on Facebook really is. Don't believe me or not familiar with the Q and A game, well its pretty simple. First, one has to mark themselves as a participant of the game by posting a statement similar to the one in my title as their Facebook status. Then the fun begins as loads of rude and crude questions pour into you inbox, you then repost the question as your status along with the answer without revealing who asked you the question in the first place.

That's it. That is the entire game. It seems to me like the thrill people are getting from this game is asking any question they want to a person with a false sense of anonymity. Sure some guy can ask a girl a perverted question without the risk of Facebook Nation knowing exactly who asked the girl that creepy question, but who is going to stop the same girl from gossiping to their friends later of how much of a creep the creep actually is. Creep. I'm warning you fellas it 'behooves' you to refrain from asking these type of questions at any cost even for the sake of a Facebook game that will be forgotten about like Formspring or the more outdated Jetman (seriously miss that game, doesn't even work anymore). However this notion does not stand true for the women of Facebook, please continue to send away the naughty questions I will post the answers on my status ;) . That last part was a joke, I don't play the Q and A game so just text me the questions.

Which brings me to my next point. Why do we need this game to ask each other questions? I understand that this game is just a way to pass the time but it seems to me by how popular the game has become in the past 48+ hours that some people have a lot of questions for others. So why hold back? Whether it is asking a girl, "how do you feel about me?" or just asking a friend you haven't spoken to in a while, "why don't we talk?" don't wait for an oppurtunity to ask, make the oppurtunity. Am I just a hater of the game or does anyone agree?
