Batman is Hey guys i’m premiering today!
As everyone and their mothers knows (except for perhaps mine), The Dark Knight hit theaters at 12:01 AM today, and since then, Facebook has been under siege with Dark Knight status updates. I really thought Sex and the City and Indiana Jones brought a lot of repetitive updates, but they’re nothing compared to this blockbuster. Don’t get me wrong  I’m suuuper excited to see the movie, but how many times do I really need to hear that people are in line for, at the theater for, just came back from, and want to see again The Dark Knight? It’s been getting a bit overwhelming; so I did the only thing I felt I could do: make an anti-status update:
“Ben is no offense to everyone, but the Dark Knight status updates are getting ridiculous.”
I felt so smug and satisfied after posting that, but then I got to thinking… am I a douche? Am I just raining on other people’s parades? Most likely yes. And am I opening myself up for similar “hater” status updates? Quite possibly. However, I still feel ardently that the status updates ARE getting ridiculous (and knowing my friends, they’ll all go out of their way to make Dark Knight status updates now). So what should I do? Respect my fellow Facebook peers and let them relish in Batman enthusiasm without a hint of self-consciousness? Or do I be true to myself and advertise just how I feel about all these shenanigans?
DILEMMA. What do you think?
