Facebook Already Planning to Coat Everything in Shitty Sepia Filters
PALO ALTO, CA â Following a billion-dollar acquisition of popular photo-sharing app Instagram, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced a complete overhaul of Facebook’s user interface featuring Instagramâs characteristic âvintageâ filters. The new interface will be launched without any warning to users within the next week.
âThis may be the biggest re-design weâve ever done,â Zuckerberg declared from Facebookâs Palo Alto headquarters. âExpect some major Instagram integration in the coming days. Like pictures of lakes at sunset? Thereâs gonna be a metric fuck-ton of those.â Other highlights include an anticipated glut of black-and-white cat photos, baby photos, and half-assed âstudiosâ put together by that kid you knew in middle school whoâs now begging you to like his âbeats.â
Facebook also unveiled a new suite of tools aimed at the less tech-minded. Users inexperienced with Instagram will be able to easily customize their profile pictures with preset options âEmo,â âSwagggg,â or âSmug Douche Who Wants You to Know He Has an iPhone.â
âThese new tools allow users to âbare their soulsâ through photos staged and edited to within an inch of their lives,â Zuckerberg claimed. âWidespread Instagram uptake will ensure that the next time your friend stops for a picture of a scenic bridge, you throw either his smartphone or him over the railing rather than indulge the narcissistic tendencies of a self-professed âphotographerâ whoâs never made it all the way through a proper photo gallery.â
Instagramâs acquisition has so far been welcomed by the online community, except for the 40 million current Instagram members who will never again use the service now that their favorite âindieâ app (that requires an Apple- or Google-branded smartphone) is associated with a major corporation.
