For everyone who’s spent hours of time asking people they don’t even like to be their friends, writing on walls, or reaffirming the complications of their relationships, you’ll get a kick out of this YouTube video   that parodies real life.  It’s making the rounds of the viral videos, but there’s more to it than a good laugh.

Beyond the LOL (laughing out loud) it’s important that parents see that Facebook users have a sense of perspective– never mind humor– about Facebook. They have the ability to laugh at themselves as in this parody of Facebook friends in various relationships, They have the ability to laugh at Facebook judging by this one from a guy who impersonates a Scandanavian news anchor explaining what Facebook means to him (drugs and sex references included). Not only is parody clever and creative, it shows an understanding of the fun and the folly that is Facebook.  It is indeed, complicated.
