‘Facebook Login’


This is basically the funniest thing.

So: is the internet too complicated, or are people too stupid?

They don’t use bookmarks, they don’t type “facebook.com” in the location field. They just Google for whatever they’re looking for and assume the first result is correct. All this argument over whether the iPad is too simple — if anything it’s probably still too complex.
