Be a Fan!

At this very moment there are roughly 237,483 Facebook fans of bacon. That’s right. BACON. Not to be confused with the 298,834 fans of Bacon Butty. I even know someone who proudly displays a felt flag with the word “BACON!” on it in his office. (It also contains a felt cutout of bacon.) And yes, this person is a fan of 3 separate bacon pages on Facebook. Now that’s passion.

Within the confines of Facebook – and throughout the web, we are able to define exactly who we are, what we believe in and what we’re passionate about. Fan pages are, in essence, viral altars created for the things we love, detest or just have a point of view on. People have started pages for the most basic of activities, like napping – to mowing the lawn. Currently there are 35 people who believe “mowing the grass is a conspiracy”, 2 members of “i love mowing grass” and 7 people who claim to be “lawn mowing monkeys”.
