Friend of mine is convinced that everything commercially produced is (insert tinfoil hat, monopolistically evil, or maliciously unscrupulous description here). As a result she falls for every rendition of "Never buy commercial THIS again!" facebook twaddle. The latest is weed killer. She mixed up some Facebook-exalted concoction and dutifully drenched her yard in it. I guess it worked because the weeds are dead. And the grass. And her flowers. And two of her shrubs. Her yard is a pathetic brown splotch in a neighborhood swathed in green.
She's had other, less critical fails from FB info before (the laundry soap episode is rather memorable) but this is on a whole new level. I keep telling her to stop with the Facebook data sourcing, or at least do some basic fact-checking before taking the leap. Maybe this will get the point accross.
