Facebook, the neccesary evil...

As a project in social engineering, and largely as a good humored joke (because thats what we're about, humor!) the authors here at SatireSpot have created their very own Facebook Page.

Now, for anyone who has been in cryogenic suspension for the last 20 years hoping to wake to a brighter future, a facebook page is as its name suggests a page on facebook used to advertise and garner support for a brand, business, politician etc.

So we decided to create one. For this task we chose the most ridiculous product we could imagine and tried (in all seriousness) to argue it was the cause of our favourite conspiracy. Impossible you might exclaim? Well we were horrified too when more than 110,000 facebook users agreed with us that the cleaning product, 'Shamwow' was in fact the cause of Droughts, not Global Warming as several scowling scientists might argue.

We at SatireSpot are greatly thankful for those informed users who chose to become fans of our page. It is a constant source of amusement for us but on a deeper note the page has also sparked actual debate about climate change, often with humorous results.
