  • Who cares Facebook sucks. It's all about Mocospace

  • Man.......that woman!

  • Ana has a bit of a self entitlement attitude. 'MY profile' yeah, your profile... ON THEIR SITE. Facebook doesn't owe its users ANYTHING. You agreed to the eua, tough shit if you don't like what they are doing with your pics/info.

  • the "cut" is getting to use facebook for free...

  • I love lamp... I love... Desk.

  • sorry Ana, but by clicking like on a product or link on facebook, U basicaly consent to letting all your freinds know what your likes are!

  • She's pissed off because of the "Ana likes Vagisil" ad.

  • Comment removed

  • She pretty much contradicted herself. She stated that the reason people like advertisements in the first place is to let people learn about them and to maybe get offers and updates. So if you dont want other people to know you like Pepsi then don't go on the Fanpage to like them. Also it's not like Pepsi is using you as an advertisement, Facebook is. Facebook tells us stuff all the time about others without permission. Basically don't post anything you don't want to share with others, simple.

  • Facebook is free to use, Thus it is the ads that help generate their revenue! Ana: would U rather they impose a user fee for their service?

    The downside may be that , now all your freinds know your likes, and U may get nothing but Clorox for your birthday:) Upside is : maybe U want your freinds to know your wish list?.

  • Sorry Ana, this one's 100% a "suit yourself"-situation

  • We like products because their company pages will usually have giveaways for free stuff.

  • I thought those were just saying "Hey, your friend likes this. Maybe you should check it out, too." I didn't really think of them as hardcore advertisements. Besides, it's only your friends seeing these. Anyways, so what? If I say I like Snapple, and then there's an ad saying "NinjaPutz like Snapple" Well, I DO, damnit!

  • Dave Koller = Wisdom

  • Frosted Flakes LOL

  • I believe there is a box in the settings somewhere that is automatically checked that allows Facebook to use your information in ads. You just have to find it and uncheck it.

  • yup, read the fine print that they can change at any time without first informing the users. you chose to click "agree". you chose to put your life on there for everybody to see. don't like it then don't click "like".

  • I'd like to know if a company is going to use me for its advertising, at least a pop up asking me to check or uncheck a box to indicate whether or not my permission, but I still don't see what the big deal is. It's not like they're forcing my friends to buy the product.

  • Why can't we look at advertising as a part of social networking? If you "like" something, you'd hopefully like to tell your friends that it's a good thing.

    Why not be charmed with the idea that a company appreciates your compliments enough to publish your testimonial.... without demanding your "cut" for helping to promote a product that you've already indicated you enjoy (and therefore benefit from it's promotion and survival?)

  • @BlackAngusYoung Because it is a corporation, not your friend.

  • Hate her..so fucking pompous

  • FROSTED FLAKES! 2:45 !

  • Frosties product placement? Cenk likes Frosties...

  • TYT, I kind of miss the low-fi gavel sound effect.

  • cmon ana... cmon

  • Going on Facebook and thinking that they aren't sharing your information is both naive and foolish.

  • This Episode brought to you by Frosted Flakes.

  • You signed a user agreement that was a binding contract. They're not guilty.

  • they got it wrong. people click 'like' for a few reasons - its there, and they like it so its literally like "meh ok".

    And the other is just to be in peoples face, you fucking like pepsi. annoying

  • i love how cenk is saying let me finish yet he interrupts everything ana says all the time

  • @LlamaArmy He's a dick.

  • Also, what if you like porn; and it appears on your moms feed.

  • @superphoenixII Your mom already knows.

  • You have privacy settings, so I think Facebook should add an option in there that allows you to opt out of the ads. That way people can't complain and most people wouldn't realize it anyway.

  • It's called " i accept the right terms of Agreement "

  • It's called " I Accept the right terms of permission "

  • "it's a marketing scam... and there's nothing wrong with it"

    ooo-key?

  • Why will facebook die?

  • Facebook will die next year anyway

  • I wonder if TYT is getting ad revenue from Kellogg's or if that Frosted Flakes placement was simply an accident. lol

  • What's the outrage?

    On the contrary, it only shows what you liked, and that your friends CAN ALREADY SEE if they visit your page themselves. Is the anger over the fact that they can see it without visiting your page, then?

  • Another reason people "like" products" is because the companies making those products give them a financial incentive. I remember when Taco Bell offered a free coupon on some new Fruitista Freeze drink for "liking" the product and printing it out

  • Why do people wamt to go into someones house and run it. If you don't like it get out. You give them permission because they give you a free account. Anna is being one of these young people that expects everything their way.

  • If you don't like what Facebook does get off Facebook. It's as simple as that.

  • Comment removed

  • oops... Me meant friends. (damn auto-correct.)

  • Wow. This is sad. "Because it tells your fiends more about yourself..." Um- ever heard of the telephone. I mean come on Facebook users- Social Networking to find friends or chat with friends just isn't the same. Try visiting the real world once in a while.

  • @theathenakeene What works for some doesn't always work for everyone. FB made me realize I'm a much more social person than I ever thought possible, mostly because people can get to know each other easier. I couldn't be your friend if you required me to sit through telephone conversations.... so why can't you be happy for me that there is a way for me to have friends, as well?

  • facebook owns anything people put on their website so they should be allowed to use it.

  • I'm fine with FB using my "likes" on FB, but when I go onto a completely different site and I'm signed out of FB, I do NOT want either my friends or my likes being shown on the side in ads. THAT pisses me off.

  • this is a much better useful vid than the guy punching a robber.

  • adblock rules

  • Terms of Agreement?

  • guilty

  • ADBLOCK PLUS FTW!!!

  • @joseph42142 Damn right

  • This is one of the many reasons why I use Twitter over Facebook.

  • Just don't like anything embarrassing I guess. That could be bad especially since employers use Facebook in their background checks.

  • I suddenly feel like a bowl of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes for some reason.

  • Facebook is not a website. It's advertising diarrhea.

  • I think Dave should be on camera instead of her, he makes more sense.

  • I'm actually with Dave on this one. This isn't new. Any time you click "Like" on a page it appears on your feed, and as such, in the feed of anyone following you.

  • you liked it,

    you permitted them :DD

  • What on Earth do people think they were going to do with all this information? It's not as if your friends care to look and take note of your "Likes", its purely for the benefit of targeted ads. and people just love to hand that info out.

    But hey what would a 76 year old women like me know?

  • wait, facebook does ask you if you want to be used in ads in this specific way. You can opt out of most of the ad usage in your settings. This lawsuit will go nowhere.

  • I LIKE TURTLES

    Sorry, but I had to.

  • Not guilty! This is just the digital age of word of mouth advertising/marketing. If you like a product that much you are going to tell your friends about it. Back in the days before internet people, most likely sales people said, "tell your friends about me." This just the equivalent of that in our world of technology today

  • Im with Ana...Guilty

  • uh... so this is some insist the facial

  • guiltyy

  • cenks starting to annoy me now

  • It does tell you in the terms and conditions, but honestly no one cares the cut you are getting from the advertisement is being able to use facebook for free

  • read the small print people, you are actually allowing facebook to do these things so stop f#cking b@tching about it

  • As far as I know there's an option to opt out of being in Facebook ads, at least I remember reading something like that and unchecking a box. Plus, you can use ad-block plugins and browse the internet almost completely ad-free... this also makes your entire computer run smoother!

  • As long as the ads are only shown on facebook I couldn't care less. Whatever if Facebook shows your friends what you like. The information is there for your friends to see already.

    However, if Facebook showed those ads outside of Facebook I would be more upset.

  • Why is it every time Jesus speaks on the mic , Ana seems to frown? Did Jesus bang her during an office party and then act like nothing happen between them the next day? Pay close attention from 2:56 to 3:04 how her expression changes. I've noticed this a few times.

  • meh....i agree with her, her point was valid and so were the other guys...ye they should have permission for you to be apart of their advert. and the other guy/guys points were valid too

  • My sister, the board game queen, broke out her new family fun game this Christmas. Logos! The winner demonstrates their overpowering knowledge of commercials and corporate products. I went downstairs and drank instead. What an obscene product - a product about other products.

  • it probably became a problem when underage kids 'like' things like whiskey and vodka and it shows up on their parents feed. because it can't be the kids fault or even the parents it's gotta be facebooks problem.

  • ana, you did give them permission. Did you even read the agreement when you signed up? or the umpteen times they updated it?

  • Steve completly ignored

  • Jesus Godoy likes Kellog's Frosted Flakes

  • Rather ironic how they're arguing over this considering they must have got many views and subscribers from the same like feature in youtube

  • so TYT is now ok with our faces being used in ads??? after all this you sell us out like bitches??? FUKK YOU TYT

  • im with ana on this, totally.

  • bob likes pepsi...........random comment

  • omg omg look at the kellogs cereal box!

    PRODUCT PLACEMENT I'M GONNA SUE

  • Anna is right - what about us who don't endorse ads?

  • I love how Cenk "tebows" after almost everything OF COURSE!!!

  • They're... GREAT!!!!!

  • Cenk is always so willing to dismiss things other people like.

  • I hope TYT is getting paid for advertising that Frosted Flakes box next to Jesus.

  • something about that is probably in their terms and conditions.

  • Ana, you DO get something out of marketing out said product. As you just mentioned, they give you notice of deals, provide online coupons, and keep you up to date with their newest line-up with minimal hassle on your end. You choose to 'Like' it, for whatever reason, and this is the result. If you don't like it then don't 'Like' it. I don't see the problem.

  • Am I the only one that wanted to eat Frosted Flakes after this video?

  • @RichardCepeda hahahaahhahahhaahaha

  • I've liked coca-cola and heinz ketchup because they're both amazing.

  • 1) If you put something on FB; unless you specifically set it not to broadcast, it is implicitly public forum. That is the platform and how it works.

    2) If you go that crazy on FB, then I would imagine that you want FB to be profitable so that they can continue to provide free services to you

    3) If FB rubs you the wrong way, then you can either adjust your behavior on the platform; or use another service.

  • I'm with Kasparian on this one !

  • anna is the only one that makes any sense lately. thank you for being reasonable anna.

  • great shirt anna

  • Ana, it is a trade off. You get coupons and a heads up on sales in lieu of monitary compensation. Then on a small scale, people on your friends list, are advised of what products you publically "liked" ... which benefits you indirectly (gift ideas for your friends to buy you things) and benefits the company by exposing others to their product. Seems like a relatively fair trade.

  • Get adblock. problem solved.

  • Another reason people "Like" stuff is that sometimes you are entered into a contest if you "like" something.

  • Ana i saw you on Top 50 annoying people of 2011!

  • Guilty.

  • in the future ads will be ads in your dreams, and when you call people on the phone, or text them they will get ads before they can read the texts or answer the calls. Also, there will be ads posted on your GPS in your car, as well as on the windowsheild. Finally, ads will pervade the sides of your houses and will exist next to stop lights. Sound ridiculous? That level of percalation is what OUR ads look like to someone in the '60's. Pretty pervasive, invasive, and not mention rude.

  • Every advertiser knows that word of mouth is the most powerful form of advertisement, this is just an extension of it.

  • I don't think this has happened to me, but I don't like many things on facebook. I mostly just use facebook for the exchange of information pertaining to matters of social or philosophical importance. If it came up and said that I liked "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by Julian Janes I wouldn't be upset about it, but I am wise enough to know that facebook will use my information for its own profit and facebook is wise enough to not use my information for ads.

  • What idiots don't understand that pressing the "like" button on the ad (or on ANYTHING on Facebook) is going to be published and going to be used to target more ads at them?

    Dave was right; anyone who doesn't know that must have been living in a cave.

  • @Erilis666 Not to mention that when you agree to the terms of use for facebook you expressly waive any claims to the information you post unless you block you set the privacy really high... or not use the site at all, just like everyone did before it came around.

  • Ana, your face never shows up. It's just your name and it only shows up on your friends feeds.

  • Facebook+ad blocker=not a single...

    Get with the program, people. Ad blockers exist. Use them.

  • You know, you get paid with the free Facebook service. It's a great networking tool that people don't have to pay for. And your Facebook likes are there for your friends to see, anyway. Facebook also recommends people you may know and it lets you know when you're friends are celebrating their birthdays... this is just one more thing they're informing you of about your friends. Some people probably like knowing what their friends like because they may like it too.... I would say not guilty.

  • How does anyone notice these adds? Don't we all have AdBlock?

  • @Mordicay1849 a lot of people don't.

  • Free stuff mostly given when you like them. I do like some products then unlike them a week later.

  • I don't like ads of TV, I don't like ads on YouTube, I don't like ads on Facebook, I don't like ads no matter where I'm at. I don't mind seeing them but I don't like them.

  • This video is good, but watching it with a hot mug of Swiss Miss Chocolate is so good.

  • @DarkEmergence Dude, shameless consumer puppets like you are exactly what is wrong with this country, and it gives me a God awful headache that only *NEW* fast-acting BC Powder(tm) can fix.

  • @michaelhaydenbell LMFAO.

  • At first I thought that it wasn't ok but then I released that the whole point on clicking on that "like" button in the first place is to tell others you like this. Not to reminded myself what I like.

  • Cant believe the shit that makes court.....

  • I don't see an issue.

  • Facebook gives you a free service, and you also agree to terms when you sign up. Wouldn't be surprised if this is covered or is eventually covered. Then you'll be forced to agree to the terms in order to keep using FB.

  • lmao at the Frosted Flakes product placement!!

  • There's so much to say about this I wouldn't know where to start... woooossaaaaa

  • I'm fairly certain there's something in the agreements you agree to when you make your facebook page that lets them do anything they want :P well within reason :) But it's their reason :) But I agree, you put something out that anyone can see, it's public... if you have your facebook private so only your friends can see it, then it's public but only to your friends. If you have no friends... why are you on facebook :) hehe Find some friends :)

  • I agree with Ana. So its 3-2.

  • *shrug* who cares, you say you like it, they say you like it.. meh

  • I have a FB page, but I hate FB.

  • Uhm, Ana, you're not part of an ad if that happens. Everything that happens is somebody sees what their friends like. Nobody pays Pepsi if you're being notified that 3 of your friends like it. Notifying you that your friend likes something is not an ad.

  • @WolfmanThomas Amen!

  • Its fine. Its how facebook works.

    Every time I "like" something I know I'm sharing that I like it.

    Sometimes I actively want to advertise a band/movie/game

  • I haven't done any research on this, but I do believe Facebook required you to click in a little "I have read the text and I accept its content" and in that I think they actually state that they can do this (or rather they can do what ever they want).

  • It is social networking, if you do anything it going to be shared. Stop being so entitled you should not get paid for just saying you like a product.

  • You gave them permission when you clicked the like button. Also there is a setting that gets you out of these ads. AND it is visible to anyone that you liked something, as long as they have access to your personal page. Leagally, this has got to be a facebook slam dunk.

  • is anna jewish ?

  • @mrx87329 Armenian I think.

  • @mrx87329 I think so. I'm sure she's the kind of Jew that takes it up the pooper and only like big black cock.

  • I hate to side with facebook, but they provide a free service that has to pay allot of people to maintain the site. If you don't like it, use myspace lol

  • People who use facebook are dumb already, but when you cry about privacy or stuff like that, You are an idiot.

    Dont get me wrong, I think what facebook does is wrong, but its known for so long now, then dont use it like smart people :/

  • @SIC66SIC66 amen : )

  • @SIC66SIC66 true it reminds me of the celebrity phone hacking thing a bit

  • People forget that most of these 'likes' are done off facebook..people might just like stuff on the products website and it shows on their wall. Don't know what the big deal is

  • All this video tells me is that Ana must like some pretty embarrassing things on facebook.

  • I would like to DISLIKE a product! And would that be shown to my friends on facebook.

    Facebook isn't made for you to express yourself! It's made to make you "wanting to be" more like your friends by buying shit

  • Ana is like my friend that will always argue with me no matter the subject

  • Wow, facebook does "ask for your info" just do it in the agree to the terms and shit. Which no one reads. Duh. What else do you think is im their? The chick is stupid

  • If you don't like it, stop using their website. Some websites charge people for membership, Facebook makes money through advertising. If they were using your name associated with ad's you DIDN'T like, that would be different. What, do people have "like" remorse, or something? They regret liking something because they see that information in a friend's feed? This is just another bogus lawsuit where someone is trying to squeeze money out of a huge company to collect a settlement. Hope FB wins.

  • "You" do not own "Your" facebook profile. It is stipulated in the sign in when you start a facebook profile. "Your" pictures, once posted are no longer "Yours", you agreed to this when you accepted the facebook cult...end of story.

  • I "like" how Cenk takes the high moral ground with JITB churros, but Pepsi he doesn't get.

  • @theogore Pepsi sucks.

  • Comment removed

  • You get online knowing full and well that you're putting information about yourself out for others to see. Not just your friends and family even if you set everything to "private" surely you read ALL of the terms and conditions when you clicked "agree" right?

  • I wana like the Kellogg's frost cornflakes, do I get a cut of the advertisement?

    Use my cut of the money to buy better mic's for the background crew :-)

  • Facebook is surely breaking laws. Even if it asks for permission to use something someone has written as they are profiting from it and do not notify that individual they are breaking company laws, surely.

  • Facebook not guilty. Don't hit like if you don't want it telling your friends you like Ron Jeremy's Anal Beads

  • In hindsight, I now really regret giving a "Like" to Vibraflex Backdoor Love Beads.

  • If I'm out at McDonald's and I say to the person I'm with "I really like these fries" If someone happens to record that, can they just go ahead and put that in a commercial? Of corse not. Are you really gonna tell me "If you don't wanna be in commercials, you shouldn't be out in public saying you like things in plain view"?

    Can they go take tapes from the security cameras of me drinking a Pepsi at the mall and put that in a commercial? Common sense people.

  • @StayCrispySRK Common sense is people not using Farcebook in the first place.

  • This clip was brought to you by Kellogg's Frosted Flakes.

  • @hofifut They'rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre grrrrrrrrreat!!

  • I need money, facebook has money, I sue facebook for the stupidest f***ing resean because I'm too retarded to get a REAL JOB. Gotta go cash the welfare check and trade my kids food stamps for Crack, I'm out.

  • When you hit "like" it updates your page to show it in your interests, and even posts it for all of friends to see on the wall as well. So they shifted it to the freaking sidebar, CRY ME A RIVER.

  • I Like Ana. I Like Ana every time I see her. I'm so With Ana on this one too. I want a cut... every time I Like Ana:)

  • It keeps Facebook free..........who gives a fuck....seriously
