Facebook users are morons.

‘Facebook Login’ ★
Fascinating. ReadWriteWeb has a weblog post that ranks highly in Google’s search results for “Facebook login”. The comments on the post are filled with complaints from confused people who think that this is the new Facebook login page.

It’s funny, yes, but it’s a fascinating glimpse at just how confused many people are about how web sites and browsers work. They don’t use bookmarks, they don’t type “facebook.com” in the location field. They just Google for whatever they’re looking for and assume the first result is correct. All this argument over whether the iPad is too simple — if anything it’s probably still too complex.

Read some of the commments, its pretty sad, they even had to put up a disclaimer.

Oh, I don't think that's specific to Facebook users - a ton of people navigate that way and it's scary....

You can bet these aren't today's youth that are confused by this. It's probably my mom, who just popped up on Facebook recently.

My kid knew how to flip through pics and switch apps on the iPhone when he was 1, and at 2 he knows which two remotes to grab (and which buttons to push) to turn on the TV and watch his favorite DVDs. It's kinda scary, because we never showed him any of that.
