Hate Social Networking? Commit Suicide.

Hate your online social networks? Sick of acquaintances who barely know you eating up hours of your time and rating how attractive you are compared to others? Want to get to know real people? Want to kick the habit? Kill yourself... online that is!

Since the launch of the Web 2.0 Suicide Machine, over 800 people have cathartically killed their online identities, de-friended over 50,000 friends, and removed over 200,000 tweets. Even Facebook got in on the action, sending a baseless legal threat to the group which was posted to the whistleblower site Cryptome.

The site will quickly delete all of the content on your accounts at Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and MySpace. Better yet, you can watch it do this live and enjoy watching your online demise which is as close as you'll get to an out of body experience without risking your health by fasting or taking drugs.

Why stop there though? These sites make money using their user's information (which is never really deleted anyways) to sell advertising. Give them something they'll love: more information for their hungry databases. Fill it with junk, join random groups, send meaningless messages, and friend request people you'd never even be remotely interested in back when you had your online identity. Poison the machine!
