Facebook Went Down and People Acted Like the End of Days Was Here

25 September 2015

No, that's not just a line from the disaster movie we're writing for Channing Tatum titled World Go Boom, (coming to theaters in 2025). It's also the reaction the world had when Facebook crashed on Thursday. For some people it was only down for a couple minutes, while others say it's been slow and buggy all morning. Users are speculating that the 360 video feature that was announced yesterday is the reason behind all the crashing, so maybe blame Star Wars?

Whatever the cause of the malfunction, the Internet handled it like they usually do: terribly and with lots of mocking. Or, if you were a company, you used the #Facebookdown trending topic to push your brand, which means we got a lot of "Facebook is down! You should go to the bathroom and use our brand of toilet paper!" kind of tweets.
