"It Works"

Scrolling through the cesspool that is Facebook-land I continue to see postings about "It Works." It's generally people who I have no clue who they are, and not friends but they're there promoting some product along the lines of; wrapping your gut in mummy bandage for a few days and in a couple weeks you'll end up with a killer beach bod for your 1-week All-Inclusive Resort stay in Mexico where you sip shitty drinks in a pool.

Anyway, am I correct in believing that this is a pyramid scheme? Or is it a standing triangle? Multi-level marketing?

I like my FB feed to be full of Adam West exploring Alcatraz, DrewM crushing North Van asphalt, and other people doing activities that I'm not doing at that given time.

There's a local buy and sell page here in the Elk valley that whilst great for picking up some solid bargains, is also full to the brim with fucking housewives spruiking their moronic little package deals and shit.

Doesn't annoy me at all, I swear.

All I can say about that is:

- I made $700,000 working from home last month. Ask me how!

- 10X more powerful than steroids. Ask me how I got huge in 5 days. HGH sellers hate me!

- Then I shed 400 lbs in 2 days (uh, I got plastic surgery too … cuz I'm so rich, I can). Ask me about miracle supplement!

I keep getting hit up for some stupid essential oils, people trying to sell me isagenix or body by vi and so one. The "It works" stuff is ridiculous.

I'm with Duncan concerning bookface. Don't have it, don't want it.

Fucking libtards at it again.

me three, never had it and never plan on having it. I was gonna suggest just deleting it but apperantly that's hard to do so I figured I'd just suggest not using it for a while.

I was told if I don't use Facebook I'll go to jail. So now I have to use it because I don't want to go to jail. That's why we all use it.
