I Don’t Understand Why...

Some people on this Earth go to great length to tear down someone they don’t like. For this example, I will use Facebook’s very own Fake Tony Romo. Now the profile lists that this is in fact a Tony Romo Facebook profile (And it’s not just Tony Romo. Sarah Palin, Barack Obama and Eli Manning, just to name a few, probably have someone out there claiming to be them and instead of just letting them be, they make fun of them),but it is one of the worst and most pathetic attempts at defaming and making fun of a person that I have ever seen. And personally, I think this could be considered computer fraud because someone signed up with his name and claims to be him. Okay, they aren’t making any money on it, but they are breaking the Facebook terms of service by doing it. But that’s not the reason why I am not happy with this poor excuse for a human.

The reason I am upset about this is that someone is using his (or her) free time to make fun of a famous person. Does this person, who claims to be Tony Romo but has the wrong birthday listed (as of yesterday and it might have been changed), even have a life? I can think of about a hundred other things I can do with my life other than take the time to make fun of someone one Facebook with a fake profile of someone. Why does society accept this?

Another thing that bothers me is that this person is so desperate to make fun of someone, who they can’t even begin to dream of measuring up to or competing against, that they go to great length to trick people into thinking that they are who they are not. Let me ask you this Fake Tony: How many touchdown passes have you thrown for a professional football team? How many multi-million dollar contracts have signed with a signing bonus? How many times have you had broken ribs in a football game and continued to play?

Instead of getting people to pay attention to you by defaming someone, go out and raise money for pediatric cancer. Instead of defaming someone, go out and volunteer as a youth adviser at your church. Instead of defaming someone, be a good husband or wife to your significant other by spending extra time with him/her. Instead of defaming someone, find a hobby that takes up this extra free time that you seem to have. (I've done all of these.)

Let me just lay it all out: Fake Tony, you are a pathetic human in need of a real life. Get one.
