        <description><![CDATA[Is it possible that nothing is authentic any more?We are accustomed by now to people with a new type of anatomy; hair, forget it! nobody has seen natural color hair for decades now; pictures? with Photoshop a 50 year old can look like a lanky teenager and optic white, iridescent teeth don't raise anybody's brow any longer.So false &quot;Likes&quot; shouldn't bother us at all!&quot;Well, life'sh a pain anyway&quot; (Greta Garbo to Lawrence Olivier).]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Whatever the cause, it's disappointing to see you mention only the &quot;fake likes&quot; for Mitt Romney among ardent Obama supporters when as I understand it there were at least as many in reverse.  Wouldn't it have been more professional and fair to simply say &quot; it caused particular concern around the US presidential election, even online fights among friends&quot; and leave it at that ?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Facebook needs to get a handle on this.  Its main selling point to advertisers is the quality of their data and how well targeted its demographics are.  This kind of contamination renders Facebook useless for that purpose, which is its real purpose of its existence.Last night I just got a invite to see pictures from one of my pastors on a dating site, which was the result of a rouge Facebook app harvesting her address book.  This kind of nonsense is wearing people out.]]></description>
