Damn You Facebook! (Paternal Weirdness)

Dear readers, I come to you today because my world has been shattered. I am still recovering from recent events that I will now share with you. I am referring to the fact that I found my father on Facebook. Also, some weird French song which I discuss below but, my dad is on Facebook!



It all started with the Suggestions box on my home page. It actually didn't show me my dad directly. I noticed my godmother first. I was still recovering from the fact that my GODMOTHER was on Facebook when I clicked on her profile. She has only a few friends (her sons refused to add her and good for them!) so when I saw my father's name on her friends list I was shocked. I thought it was some sort of sick joke that Facebook was playing on me. I sent a message to my godmother's children (we are all friends on Facebook) to see if they knew that their mother had joined. I also asked if they had any idea why she would be friends with someone whose name bore a scary similarity to my father. Turns out, it IS my dad. Mind you, I checked his profile and he doesn't seem to have used it--his only friend is my godmother--so I assume she sent him an invitation, he joined, added her as a friend, and never visited the site again. For now.


I have already notified my sister of this and we are plotting! The plan is to hijack his laptop, and hopefully he has his passwords saved in the browser. This way we can log-in to his Facebook and deactivate the account. Since he has never really used it, he will never know it has been removed. We hope we can get this done before someone else (probably the parent of another mortified family friend) finds him on Facebook, adds him and then raises his interest in the website.

This is so disturbing. Seriously! First, if you had asked me which one of my parents would most likely be on Facebook I would have told you it would be my mother as she is much more connected to technology and it's uses. Mind you this is like saying a one eyed man is leading a kingdom of the blind, but at least she has the one eye! I would NEVER accept a friend request from either parent though. Unfortunately there are people who are not so lucky and you can see some of their suffering on the website: Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook.

As if the weirdness wasn't enough, today I was in the car with my dad and he was playing some weird mix-CD that someone made for him. The mix has all this weird French music on it and one of the songs is just uncomfortable to listen to. I think it is called Je T'aime and it is supposed to be a duet? However, the singers seem to think that the best way to express the "amour" is by singing breathily. I mean when the woman is singing it sounds like she is having an orgasm. I am 100% serious. I will try and find a copy of the song for y'all.  She is like "oh je t'aime!, oui je t'aime (gasp, gasp, sigh, breathe, breathe, sigh, breathe, sigh, gasp) oh je t'aime!". That song is so disturbing! Everyone else in my house who has heard it agrees. My mom heard it a few weeks ago when she took my dad's car out and apparently wanted to throw away the CD. I think my dad needs a lesson in car-radio etiquette. For instance, I wouldn't play Get Low by Lil Jon with my parents sitting in the car so why must I be subjected to a near orgasm french woman while I am in the car with him? I have suffered in life and it is DEFINITELY time for that car!

UPDATE: I found the song on YouTube. You can pretty much find anything on YouTube. It is called Je T'aime Moi Non Plus
