Suggestive Facebook Friend Suggestion

Most of Facebook’s friend suggestions are logical because they are the friend of a friend. But occasionally Facebook throws up strange, seemingly-random suggestions.

Speaking of Facebook, you have to see the movie Funny People for perhaps the funniest moment in film ever. Adam Sandler’s character has a standup gig at a MySpace convention.

2. Courage Fail

3. Masculinity Fail
