What used to be referred to as “a date which will live in infamy” has been proudly demoted to “Facebook Profile Cleanup Day.”

The event, created by a guy from Cambridge, MA, has one attendee and zero invitees – but his justification for the fete is flawless:

“Facebook Profile Cleanup Day is a day set aside for you to go through your facebook profile and remove all of the non-essential items be they friends, groups, photos, postings, or applications. If you haven't used it, tagged it, poked it in a year, it can go!”

What the hell has gone so wrong with our generation that we need to create an event to work on a Web page that is a thinly disguised excuse for narcissism and stalking? We need a cause.
