[R] Facebook Friends

TL.net's favorite insecure self-loather and whipping boy made a triumphant return to creating threads. Recently, Rpf took a leave of absence from the forums to become a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, playing a large role in organizing the opposition to District of Columbia's handgun ban.

The thread posted a screenshot and asked for computer help, but in the captured screen, Rpf left open a background window of his facebook profile. While Rpf took the time to black out his last name, the screenshot revealed the number of facebook friends he has (over 200) as well as his profile wall. One wall comment by an alleged male friend asked Rpf out for drinks. The original image was saved by Bill307, Hot_Bid, and thedeadhaji after Rpf edited it out. The thread was most likely a poorly executed attempt by Rpf to demonstrate that he was popular, but backfired as users quickly discovered his true identity along with a pornography bookmark.

Several users posted their own screenshot parodies, including ones starring Scarlett Johansson and Jesus, along with one featuring many desktop easter eggs. However, the real fun began when Moderators online at the time began rapidly changing the title of the thread to attract more views. TL.net became a tabloid for an hour.

Here's a list of the "Tabloid titles," compiled from posts in the thread:
  • Blizzcon is Sold Out =(
