Remember Kip Drordy—the sad, sad little boy from last week’s episode of South Park, “You Have 0 Friends”? Well, screw friends—a Facebook Fan page set up to look like Drordy’s profile has attracted more than 100,000 fans.
“You Have 0 Friends” got scads of media attention last week, as the South Park kids took Facebook to task over social media obsession and the troubles that it can breed. Drordy served as the episode’s sad catalyst: a boring, friendless boy whose status updates are basically akin to the most mundane of ruminations: “There was a bee in my room.”
The page is replete with fan photos and comments, all showing support and devotion to the previously bereft fictional boy. This little cartoon dude is basically the new Norwegian Olympic Curling Team’s Pants. Enjoy it while it lasts, bro. One is indeed living the sweet life when a status update reading, “Drank a glass of water” yields more than 4,000 “likes.” — BRENNA EHRLICH, MASHABLE.COM
COMMENT: this so dumb the episode was bashing facebook and what happens instead of learning the lesson that all educated people should already know that having facebook friends has become a contest on polarity not a way to communicate with friends and family that fan page should be taken down since it goes against everything that episode was about. — interfan
COMMENT: Educated people should also learn to punctuate and spell properly. Your post should be taken down, because it goes against the spirit of what educated people are about. —Jay M. Johar
COMMENT: But the truth still stands: Gingers have no souls. (This message brought to you by a redhead.) —Mike Stegner
