us census taking, apparently true

“... CHARLOTTE: "Mr. Gordon, this should only take a few minutes. Can I ask if you have any nonrelatives, such as roommates or babysitters living with you?"

ERIK: "I'm the only one here."

“CHARLOTTE: "Mr. Gordon, you know I can't put that."

“ERIK: "No, Charlotte, no. I don't have anyone else living here!"

“CHARLOTTE: "No roomates or babysitters?"

“ERIK: "No!"
—
“CHARLOTTE: "Other than New York and Don't Know, did you spend any time anywhere else?"

“ERIK: "Other than New York and Don't Know?"

“CHARLOTTE: "Yes."

“ERIK: "No. I spent all of my time in New York and Don't Know."

“CHARLOTTE: "How about prison?"

“ERIK: "How about prison?"

“CHARLOTTE: "Did you spend any time in prison in March or April of 2010?"

“ERIK: "No, I was only in New York and Don't Know."

“CHARLOTTE: "Okay. Mr. Gordon, did you spend any time in the military?"

“ERIK: "No."

“CHARLOTTE: "Mr. Gordon, did you spend any time in a nursing home?"

“ERIK: "Charlotte, can we just put 'Don't Know' for the rest of the questions so we can both get on with our lives?"

“CHARLOTTE: "No, I can't do that. You need to answer every question. This should take only a few minutes. ..." ”

etc.

Reminiscent of that essential reading, Green Eggs and Ham:

I do not like them
Sam-I-am
I do not like
green eggs and ham

Would you like them
here or there?

I would not like them
here or there
I would not like them
anywhere
I do not like
green eggs and ham
I do not like them
Sam-I-am

Would you like them
in a house?
Would you like them
with a mouse?

we won’t use facebook, so there!

“An attempt to stage a mass defection from Facebook today has fizzled. For every Facebook user who pledged to delete their account as part of today’s Quit Facebook Day campaign, there are more than 15,000 other Facebook members who didn’t, using Facebook’s recent estimate of 500 million active accounts.

“If Facebook signups were to run at their usual pace today — probably not, based on today’s slow holiday traffic on the Internet — for every user who threatened to quit, there would be four or five new signups. Facebook averages 150,000 new members per day, the company has claimed. Quit Facebook Day signed up only 32,522 pledges, and it’s not likely that all of them actually quit.”

Note that deleting a Facebook account doesn’t actually delete your data held by Facebook. If you later re-sign up, using the same email and password, you will find you data is still there in Facebook. To completely leave Facebook is a more intricate operation, including fourteen days being sure to not do anything anywhere with anything Facebook, such as on mobile phone apps. Here are instructions on how to actually delete a Facebook account.

Amusing gag.

However, the voice-over translation is “...Japanese guys discussing some blonde guy who screws anything that moves, and who may or may not be gay...”.
