Ugly Facebook

OK, so you’re on Facebook. You gotta find a profile picture. An hour hunting through your photo albums you find a few that might be passable. You wanna show your friends how ugly you haven’t become with the passing of the years, right? The one with you all dolled up in some ersatz glamorous surrounding on holiday, one sparkling night out somewhere perhaps?

Me, I’ve got a better idea for you all : just pull a funny ugly face for the camera and use that. People will see an honest face and remember someone capable of having a good laugh rather than someone who is trying to maintain appearances against the tide of time.

At the very worst it’ll scare off people you didn’t really like from a few decades back from contacting you. Everyone has seen your ugly funny face – surely you’ve done it for a few laughs on a great night out before. It’s the one thing that never changes about you. You might be a little grayer, a little more wrinkled but those funny faces you pull will always look the same and, dare I say, no doubt improve with age.

You can tell old friends all about your great life you have these days and how you’ve got on in life and even if half of it’s true they’ll probably not believe you. But, show ‘em an ugly funny face and they’ll know you’re still a barrel of laughs and good company deep down inside.

Go on then! Start a new trend! Change your Facebook profile picture for the daftest face you can muster!
