We get that here all the time with products made in China or similar countries.
The instruction manuals read like the manufacturers let a bunch of children try and
translate it with Babblefish.

I second that.  I've re-connected with friends who I lost track of years ago and now surfaced in New Zealand and Burundi (!), so it has it's value.
I thought some "Boxes""Applications" were fun during my first, say 100 days, but now they novelty has worn off.  "Add 200 friends to see you results" and other crap has made me use it mainly as a chat-room...

Most ads are appaling (you don't realise this, but most ads are machine translated from English to other languages , such as Swedish, and sound like they've been written by five year olds).

Whilst i concur with you both to a certain degree, i have to say that Facebook has kept me better in touch with some friends and allowed me to catch up with some that i had lost touch with, along with being imformed of some interesting things. Then there's Jonn Chapman and Fat(Jamie) Potanga's post which keep me thoroughly amused. I like it, sad...but true!

I am so inclined to take down my facebook profile. Every time I go to use it I find it’s so slow as to be unusable, literally, the new interface is ghastly, and it’s all one big fat popularity contest reminding me how shallow my friends and family and their friends and family are…*shudder*
 
Seriously, each time I’ve gone to use it over the last few months it’s annoyed the heck out of me and ruined the stillness and perfection of my Buddha-nature.
