July 11th, 2010 When Biff Visagerson saw the friend request on Facebook from someone bearing his own name he thought nothing of it, after all, it was understandable that someone else with the same name might be trying to friend him. Google "Biff Visagerson" and thousands of pages will be returned. So of course he clicked 'ignore' on the request and went on with his busy social networking life. He did feel a little nauseous when he went to bed that night, and the next day noticed a fairly substantial layer of dandruff on his sports jacket, but he just shrugged this off. Several weeks later, Biff is in serious condition, fading into a virtual state where he now lacks physicality all together, inhabiting the realm of the cybercloud and in danger of being cached and forgotten forever on someone's hard drive. Fortunately for those in Biff's predicament, there are doctors who deal with just this sort of problem. Treatment is difficult and very experimental, but researchers believe that a key component is to bring the 'self-unfriended' person back to reality using something called Happy Place Simulation. Apparently being in a happy place reverses feelings of self-loathing and can enable a person to become "one's own best friend" again. |
