Okay, This Facebook Thing is Out of Control

I just sent an Add Friend request to Jonathan Franzen. Whether he will be my friend or not, who can say? But if Franzen is on Facebook, is it safe to say that Facebook has jumped the shark?

(And if Rick Moody can be my Facebook friend, then surely Jonathan Franzen can!)

[UPDATE: This just in. Leonard Cohen is on Facebook. What the fuck?]

There are three Leonard Cohens using photos of the poet-songwriter, and several others without photos.
