Spam, it's the evil that lurks in the dark corners of Junk Mail folders offering bigger penises and dating services for the married folk. This completely unnecessary evil has polluted email, Myspace and now worst of all – Facebook!

Obnoxious messages are circling the Facebook community vowing that the ever-expanding social network will explode unless these messages are sent to 15 people. Here’s the said message below:

Attention all Facebook members.

There have been many members complaining that Facebook

is becoming very slow.Record shows that the reason is

that there are too many non-active Facebook members

And on the other side too many new Facebook members.

Members are active or not,If you're active please send

to 15 other users using Copy+Paste to show that you are active

The user will be deleted without hesitation to create more space,

If Facebook is still overpopulated we kindly ask for donations but until then send this message to all your friends and make sure you send

this message to show me that your active and not deleted.

Founder of Facebook

Mark Zuckerber

This message is obviously a hoax judging by the spelling of Zuckerber(g)’s name. Strike that -- he might have had a long, lonely night of throwing back Jager bombs and decided he wanted to upset his Facebook minions.

Whatever the reason, Facebook users are imploring that this cruel and unusual torture is put to an end quickly! Nobody wants to feel like they are personally contributing to the fall of Facebook.
