Animated video sums up our Facebook frustrations

On Wednesday Facebook gave the News Feed a makeover. On Thursday the social network announced a new profile page design called the Timeline

But on Friday? On Friday all our frustrations over these changes were combined into one ridiculous video.

The video is brought to us by Taiwan's New Media Animation news crew — the same folks who provided us with animated explainers of the legal drama between Facebook and Paul Ceglia, the Mark Zuckerberg stalker incident and the Charlie Sheen scandal — and as expected, it's full of hilarity:

Matrix references? Xzibit memes? Slides that lead to Google+? This video basically managed to combine almost every silly Facebook joke ever made.

So now what am I supposed to use as a punchline?

Could you have at least had it translated for those of us that do not speak Japanese.

    You are the "god damn genius" considering there is no such language as "Chinese." It's called Mandarin, you US Consumer. Shouldn't you be in Iraq right now?

      Ha U said "US Consumer" as a derogatory term.
