If you think Facebook is a social networking website, you’re wrong; it’s actually a massively multiplayer online role-playing game in the same vein as World of Warcraft. Instead of gathering epic loot and slaying strange creatures, however, the goal in Facebook is to collect friends and appear… popular.

Hearing this from a frightening gray cartoon character, you may be inclined to write this hypothesis off as a terrible YouTube joke with little basis in reality, but I implore you to mull it over for a moment. Eventually, you’ll see that it’s shockingly accurate.

If you’re a person that has more than 200 Facebook friends, chances are you’re guilty of “gaming” Facebook to collect friends, acquaintances and other people you've come across at one time or another in your life. The odds of an individual knowing over 200 people on a very personal level are slim to none. In an all probability, you probably went through the “People You May Know” section and added everyone that you either met at a party or saw from across the room at a party.
 

They aren't really your friends, but at least, you're bond to get a ton of birthday wishes from strangers when the time comes... That's got to count for something, right?
