In addition to interacting with friends, Facebook is a utility that can be used as, among others, event organizer, advertising platform and accessory to penalize misbehaving employees. In Hong Kong, a group created a Facebook group that encourages teenagers to commit suicide. Police are now tracking the creator of the group “I have to practice suicide” after a member reportedly tried to kill himself way ahead of the supposed mass suicide schedule of December 21. I wonder why the 190-member group - already removed from the popular social networking site - has to commit "suicide" on my birthday. Reports surfaced that the group was built just to talk about ways to die “in a retarded way” such as jumping off a chair and not from say, a 53rd floor apartment. “I'm not encouraging suicide. It's supposed to be an inside joke,” the creator said, insisting that the group is more about comedy than a quasi-euthanasia group. Retarded indeed.
