They probably need him to put on a show for the IPO:
Facebook is in talks to hire Robert Gibbs, President Obama’s former White House press secretary, for a senior role in helping to manage the company’s communications, people briefed on the negotiations said.
Facebook is seeking out Mr. Gibbs ahead of an initial public offering planned for early 2012, these people said.
Stayin’ alive… Stayin’ alive…
Oh, wait… wrong Gibbs.
Better Facebook than the White House.
Not that I would ever buy Facebook stock, (because like Google I wish they’d both crash and burn) but if this jack ass is going to be the company spokesman I’m definately out.
He’s an arrogant prick who should be working at a McDonald’s asking if you’d “like fries with that” instead.
McDonald’s wouldn’t have him…
Well he’s had plenty of practice lying his ass off, right?
#3: “CIA’s ‘Facebook’ Program”
If you have ever tried the tried and true “hide it in plain sight” method on anything you wish to hide, you will find it works brilliantly on today’s catatonic & dumbed down masses.
That said, given the high production level of professional deception and detail the ONN Newscasts provide in the name of “humour” -I often look at many of their “skits” as hiding the truth in plain sight, especially in the skit you linked.
I say this only because coming from the BBS days, way back when AOL was formed, or rather, shortly after Q-Link became AOL, their corporate headquarters for a time, shared a parking lot with the CIA HQ in Virginia, -which i found highly amusing, yet quite appropriate at the time, esp given the most awesome information gathering as well as (subversion and obfuscation) tool that “herd mentality and gathering” operations like aol and facebook provide for intelligence minded corporations like the nsa and cia etc.. -as well as their “foes.” There is no denying it’s f’n brilliant.
Once you understand how the game is played, it becomes very easy to see all that is hidden in plain sight.
fwiw: my father taught me the “hide it in plain sight” thing back in the 70’s.. it is one of the best things he ever showed me..
Remember: We live in a mirror image illusion of the true Reality. Where Reality is Fantasy, and Fantasy, is the true Reality..

Has facebook fucked up so much they need a presidential press secretary?
I been awondering when Facialbook would start paying back some of the political capital it been spendin’.
I can understand Facebook wanting to hire a top notch guy to act as a the public face of Facebook. Unfortunately I think Gibbs is going to inspire massive distrust in the company and Facebook is already highly skilled at doing that.
