Some Facebook Status Updates Are Worth a Mention

You people made me laugh today:

Ben Mehl

Just once I want to see a soccer mom driving a minivan with a bumper sticker that says "I Love My Gat."

Chris Morran

‎"I really hope I say something pithy today so that, many decades from now, someone will use it as a Facebook update." -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Jessica Miller

Me: "Did the card get de-magnetized?"
Guy @ DD: "No, sometimes the strip goes bad if it comes in contact with another magnet"
Ummmmm... U should keep this job...

JohnBart Skelton

POOR DEMI?!? Please......call me when she's doing lines of blow off a pickle jar while sitting on a filthy toilet seat at a truck stop located in the midwest somewhere.

Becky Pratt

Can't believe my kids are learning more Spanish from watching Dora than from me! It's a shame! Need to change that!

Suzanne Lyons

My 10 year old niece just accidentally butt-dialed me from school. Then she texted me to apologize. When I was 10 we still had a rotary wall phone in the kitchen. Crap I'm old.

Ben Schwartz

Wyclef lied. It's WAY past November '07 and he's still gone.

Sorry folks, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie is about a creepy pedofile. Done.

ID Discovery Launches IDAddicts

It's no secret that I'm OBSESSED with ID Discovery. In my bedroom, that is the only channel that the TV is automatically tuned to. (Downstairs, it's HGTV - duh.)

Being the wannabe investigator that I am, the ID channel provides me with an insatiable desire to try and figure out how the crime happened, 'work' alongside the criminal investigators to figure out criminal profiles and basically - well, it basically just gives me a rush!

ID has recently grown in popularity, no doubt due in part to their amazing social media efforts and constant new programming. On Twitter, every tweet is ended with the hashtag "#IDAddicts," so it's only natural that the network's next step would be to create a social networking website where IDAddicts can communicate and discuss the programs.  [NOTE TO SELF: Next time a hashtag gains extreme popularity and trends, purchase the domain name of said hashtag and wait until someone buys it off of you.]

I LOVE how ID Discovery really and truly KNOWS their audience. It's certainly a specific niche, but one with the same mindset, making it easy to communicate with people who just "get it."

Their website welcome note:

Welcome, ID Addicts. You crave it. You think about it all the time. Now, ID Addicts.com is here to feed your addiction, giving you direct access to Investigation Discovery, providing exclusive content, and connecting you to other addicts whenever you need a fix.
