As to the Fakebook song - it´s all true. I told them my school´s name was
‘None Of Your Business’ in ‘New York, New York’, my university was called
‘Way Over Yonders’ and I often traveled to ‘Many, Indiana’ and that my first job was ‘Musician in Bandaragama, Sri Lanka’.
Then they offered me 3,000 likes for each new song I posted, for four dollars,
and they deleted my university. That made me almost as angry as all the hate speech
and fake news they allow people, and bots, to spread.
Ha! I quickly added my new job - ‘Magician at Hufflepuff’, and ‘The Wonder Dog’
as my nickname. Presto, they ate that, and I had a song.
