Batman is Hey guys i’m premiering today!
As everyone and their mothers knows (except for perhaps mine), The Dark Knight hit theaters at 12:01 AM today, and since then, Facebook has been under siege with Dark Knight status updates. I really thought Sex and the City and Indiana Jones brought a lot of repetitive updates, but they’re nothing compared to this blockbuster. Don’t get me wrong — I’m suuuper excited to see the movie, but how many times do I really need to hear that people are in line for, at the theater for, just came back from, and want to see again The Dark Knight? It’s been getting a bit overwhelming; so I did the only thing I felt I could do: make an anti-status update:
“Ben is no offense to everyone, but the Dark Knight status updates are getting ridiculous.”
I felt so smug and satisfied after posting that, but then I got to thinking… am I a douche? Am I just raining on other people’s parades? Most likely yes. And am I opening myself up for similar “hater” status updates? Quite possibly. However, I still feel ardently that the status updates ARE getting ridiculous (and knowing my friends, they’ll all go out of their way to make Dark Knight status updates now). So what should I do? Respect my fellow Facebook peers and let them relish in Batman enthusiasm without a hint of self-consciousness? Or do I be true to myself and advertise just how I feel about all these shenanigans?
DILEMMA. What do you think?

I am SO FREAKING EXCITED to see this movie tomorrow. I will be updating my status several times before and after the movie. Possibly during as well.
You better not do it if you’re sitting next to me. I hate when people text during movies. So distracting.
What about the Mama Mia mania?

I’m on the ABBA train hb.
I’ve known douches. I work with douches. You Sir, are not a douche.
Actually, according to Heeb Magazine, I AM a douche:

Don’t they realize I’m Jewish!!!
Wow, that Heeb Mag blurb really pissed me off. Don’t post those inflammatory links B-Side, PLEASE!!
It makes me wannna THROW UP, I wanna THROW UP on m’self.
I’m pretty sure you could take Perez Hilton in a fight, B-side.
ugh. You are a fine-looking (and fine wrting) Jew B. Heeb had better make a retraction.
I don’t know if I could take Perez in a fight. He has a bit more girth than I do.
See? I AM A DOUCHE!
The problem with fighting Perez is that you’d actually have to touch him…
Greasy?!? Mediocre?? Miss D is ready to throw down and not with Perez. Hope my Kung Fu can hold up against Krav Maga.
Maybe they just think it’s time for you to get a haircut?
I had no idea The SVAN works for Heeb.

Honeybunny, you’re brilliant! That’s exactly what the SVAN would have said.
B, you could take Perez ’cause he’d be too afraid of hurting his “pretty” face to fight.
I hope one of your FB friends takes a screen shot of the status and sends it to passiveaggressivenotes.com…..
The video is no longer available, dammit. But I can say, definitively, that you, B-Side, are not a douche. There are many, many others, however, in the internets that are.
I went a little comma crazy in that sentence, nay?
Best part of this post? The caption on the picture! My friends won’t get off my back about my recent status update that said “Angela is someone drive to Chicago with me this weekend.”
Also, I heard Heath did an amazing job, and will obviously win the Oscar. Is it bad to think that without the death, these talks may not be as extreme? And is that totally horrible to say?
And I thought tvgasm and perez were friends. Have you crossed over to the good side with your independence?
Did I just ask an obscene amount of questions?
