Facebook Is a Clocksucker

I've been sitting at my computer continuously for the last two years. When I finally stood up, I was fat and broke. Had to get something out of it. Here's my new release. Hope you enjoy. And forward. I'm hoping for viral but I'll settle for measles.

This is so good it's frightening. On the surface you're laughing, while deep within there is this bone chilling sense of horror creeping over you that is rooted in self-recognition; only its not Facebook it HuffPo.....

Gotta break out of it. HELP Elayne......

"I answered a question about you!" "You don't even know me" hahaha. I have friend who has 450 facebook friends, of which he's met personally maybe 50 of them. He said he hates when people he's never even met answer questions about him. You nailed it, Elayne. Hope it goes "measles" for you.

Never had a face book never will. My 17 yr old spent 12 hrs straight yesterday on his computer talking to his friends...they mostly all do it. In many ways the Internet is the new addiction.

YOU don't get it? I'm standing on top of the Tishman Building right now yelling "Jump!!" at myself. Well, if you can help make this viral, maybe the Kardashians will have me on their show.

This is just great, Elayne. Everyone should see it. And great direction and editing by David Avallone.

Thanks Gary. Yes, Avallone is brilliant every time. Tell a friend.

Zuckerberg should pay you, buy some ad spots and use it. You'd have to choose the 'best of' for 30 seconds worth of TV com air time, but then a fave one minute for radio com air time. The best part. I know all of it is TRUE, because I've been right here with you the entire two years LOL. Into the night riffing on a prize pic, all of us one up-ing each other IS by far the best entertainment and fun I've had all year. (draw your own conclusions) Playing our word games, fulfilling birthday wishes, saving puppies, and mingling with like minded comedy genius. Worth every clocksucking moment my friend! xoxo's

Thanks so much Bill. Coming from you, whose songs are all still in my head, it means mucho. oxxoxo

I like it! You've got a bit of an Eminem thing going there.

You did it again, Elayne! Brilliant social commentary on the social network of our time.

With this release Elayne Boosler does for the 2010's what Rappin' Rodney Dangerfield did for the 1980's!!! Boosler's "Facebook is a Clocksucker" joins Blondie's (featuring Deborah Harry) Rapture as the first female rappers of their respective genres! Destined to go viral on YouTube and Facebook, Boosler's Clocksucker should be put in rotation on Comedy Central and cable music networks! A split-screen version of the Doors' Riders on the Storm and Boosler's Clocksucker would be an exciting parody of the Doors/Blondie Rapture Riders single, especially since Boosler's own husband, Bill Siddons, once managed the Doors! Bravo Elayne Boosler for this timely 'status' on our Social Network.

James, you are the best. Thanks for a fine piece of criticism, and for being such an enabler in the world of clocksucking.

Hahaha! Elayne, you are SO funny! I just peed myself!

Clocksucker. Awesome concept. I recently posted that Facebook uses up 17 days per hour, but "clocksucker" just says it so cleanly! (well, semi-cleanly!) Excellent.
