Random Add z z z z z zzz

Requested by Declan. Sort of - I'll get to the ducks and army of thumbs shortly ...

With my friends list hovering somewhat steadily at 172 (damn thing wont move), I should choose my words carefully and be aware of what I say as to not insult too many of you, especially as a many number of those 172 are; from my local area, know where I work and are within thumbing distance. However something that  I agree with this Declan fellow is about new RANDOM people that add you. Now I know aesthetically speaking, I'm the bees knees - come on look at that sexy self portrait - but I still don't fully understand random adders.
Sexy self

These are the people I know I have never met before, just adding and then saying nothing. In fact the only thing for the most part they do say is "herp, thanks for the addz", thanks for making the effort of cut and pasting the same arbitrary thank you, that you send to everyone else in your upwards of 2'000 friends list. Who the heck knows and actively speaks to that many people, I understand that going through life and thanks to these bloody things  you pick up people every know and then, for example on the street or at a party - odds on your doubtful to continue speaking to this person after the add - But get rid of them, surely your feeds are filled with a noise of people, the amount of stupid must be deafening (I know this will undoubtedly add to the noise of retard) when links get thrown and pounded down your throats, not to even mention the Bi-polar disorder that all statuses become. Have you ever pinged down your feed on valentines day? It's a sea of "forever alones" and *high pitched voice* "Oooo I couldn't be happier *INSERT NUMBER OF MONTHS* With my hubby and still going strong" - I'm Glad there's the new timeline feature as especially for people who have had a number of relationships that can go through each year, look back in hindsight and refer to themselves as dicks.

However I suppose I should get back to the request, which I've somewhat segway'd into with linking stuff and posting things, such as photos - jumping on a dopey and ageing bandwagon the duck face thing... Now when i first saw this i honestly thought it was a joke, that people were purposely looking derpy even though they were fairly attractive (Some are alight when not making the face, but then there are others who, well... Quack, quack)
Sex face
Sexy right... Its a weird screen cap to take, are they giving you a kiss? I mean this one makes me look sexually aggressive and by no means attractive so explain the point to this, were it ironic in terms of here is an amazingly attractive person making themselves look attractive because that's a fairly weird trend that has popped up, but these people think that it looks sexy! Really? you really think looking like you have a mild form of special needs makes you look sexy?

It's a compliment in my mind when someone who you do not know tries to add you on these social networking sites as, I'd imagine it is a way of communicating with someone you find attractive, or have an interesting bio and you'd like to get to know better. However you have those that only wish to use you as a number in an ever expanding army of digits, a friend of mine got into a race to see if he could reach 1000 friends and then keep it at that level for a set amount of time, you'd be surprised at the number of people who would just blindly accept and never bat an eyelid and the person they have just allowed to see a great deal of their personal information (because people can be fools and post important things - I too have been guilty of this), they then never say hello to the person that they have added only 'liking' their derpy pictures and clearly feeling an attachment to their 'friend' even though, for the most part you are mostly a digit to these strangers.

Thanks to the internet, times are far beyond the fears of stranger danger, for most the only thing worth fearing is the de-friend button.
