I logged on yesterday to find the majority of my friends had become celebrities. The purpose of Doppelganger Week is to find a celebrity that looks like you. I was surprised how accurate some were but more amazed at how fast the fad caught on. Myheritage.com became the official celebrity-look-alike-generator for the week (which has actually lasted close to a month) and because so many people were determined to find their doppelganger, the site posted a disclaimer apologizing for how slow it was working due to too many users at one time.
This reminds me of the Color Of Your Bra post that was going around a few months back.
Here's the message that was sent across Facebook:
----------
Some fun is going on...........Just write the colour of your bra in your status, just the color, nothing else, and send this message on to only girls, no men.....It will be neat to see if this will spread the wings of cancer awareness. It will be fun to see how long it takes before the men will wonder why all the girls have a color in their status! .... ha ha.
-----------
And everyone did it! Even my female professors joined in the fun. Facebook is a wonderful outlet for everyone to express their narcissism. In reality, nobody cares what color bra you're wearing or what celebrity you look like, but you do! And Facebook has given us an opportunity to tell people the things that don't really matter. My bra color is tan today.
