About a week after the whole post-your-bra-color-and-we’ll-say-it’s-for-breast-cancer-awareness thing, you may have noticed these cryptic status updates:
Jane Doe had lunch with a baseball bat in an elevator because that’s how I roll.
Mary Jones loved my science teacher in line at the bank because Big Bird said to and he’s my leader.
So what does it mean? It means your friends are _______ (fill in the blank with the adjective of your choice) to follow along with a Facebook game that’s being spread through private messages.
The game may be harmless “fun” but what’s kind of disconcerting about it is the fact that this, just like the bra “game,” is designed to confuse guys.
This is the message I received in my Facebook inbox about it:

Now type out the sentence you made and place it in YOUR STATUS line and SEND this message TO LADY ONLY friends
Why ladies only? Guys are too stupid to participate in this or know what’s going on? And if it’s because guys are less likely to participate because they have better things to do, I’ve got news for the creator of this meme: Plenty of girls do too.
Facebook is becoming the equivalent of those stupid chain do-this-or-else-your-cat-will-die e-mails and ones with forwarded, stale jokes that you never read.
What should be a place to catch up with friends is looking more like a junk mail pile where you have to sift through the endlessly copied-and-pasted statuses to get to something that you might actually care about.
And the man-hating is puzzling and disconcerting (and no, I’m not a man who’s saying this).
