Tuesday Diversion: WGN Gives Facebook The Pat-Down

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Mar 10, 2009 8:00PM

WGN's Pat Tomasulo is cranky and by God, he's not gonna take it anymore. Normally, we're wary of mainstream media's take on social media, but Pat...actually makes us laugh with this video about Facebook etiquette, especially when he shouts his "status updates" to random people on the street. While not quite as cantankerous as Andy Rooney, Pat does remind us of Chicagoist's own curmudgeon, Tankboy. Plus, this video reminded us of another take on Facebook, a classic bonus video you can check out after the jump.

Thanks for the tip, Brandy!

For those of you who dislike Facebook for putting you in touch with people you wanted forget, he BBC examines what it would be like in real life in this classic clip.
