Facebook App Bullshit

I really get annoyed by the fact that I can’t even look at an app on someone’s profile without granting that app access to my info. I want to read an “Interview” on a friend’s profile, but I can’t see what she answered without adding it to my own page. That’s just viral privacy invasion.
Of course, Facebook’s app platform allows any app to add stories to my newsfeed. So I can’t read anything I want to read, but I get spammed with bullshit about mafia wars, “You friend completed the blah blah blah quiz”, and fantasy farm league.
It’s like the perfect storm of stupidity… but it’s still better than MySpace.
