Facebook sucks!
Yesterday I had a wonderful idea to kill time: hey, why don't a register on facebook. Everyone else is doing it, so it must be totally awesome, right? WRONG!.

I get to the registration page and fill out everything correctly and honestly. I try to submit it. It doesn't work. I must have missed something. But wait, what are those tiny red letters at the top of the screen. It simply says, "Please enter a legitimate name." ...huh... Go back. Re-enter: Sierra Student. "Please enter a legitimate name." ......huh..... maybe it wants a middle name too. Go back. Re-enter: Sierra Brook Student. "Please enter a legitimate name." ...........huh..........

At the bottom of their page is an email address to contact if you're having problems registering. Naturally I had to do it. The following is our email correspondence. please enjoy.

Hey,
My REAL name is Sierra Student. I would like to join facebook with my real name. However, your server wont let me, I keep getting the message "please enter a legitimate name". I would like to know if you have a solution for this.
thanks for your time,
-Sierra

I'll have to show you some ID? Screw that. It'll be faster to make up and "acceptable" fake name. Though I wont. I just wont use facebook, that's ok. Thanks for nothing.
