href="http://mashable.com/2010/06/01/facebook-quit-results/">big fat bust</a> &#8212; 34,000 people hit the proverbial road. And, according to our own survey, only 2,645 readers packed up their profile pics and galloped off into the digital sunset &#8212; including parody rapper <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/user/seaniemic" >SeanieMic</a>.</p><p>This little vid about kicking <a
href="http://mashable.com/category/facebook">Facebook</a> to the curb is actually pretty entertaining &#8212; the fake status updates, ads and other FB ephemera really amp up the entertainment factor (not to mention the Mashable shoutout).</p><p>So whether you nixed the newsfeed or still persist in cherishing your shareable shackles, take a moment to laugh at the uproar. Oh, and Seanie actually has a totally legit point: <a

What is Gink? Well, it&#8217;s simple, really: &#8220;Gink is a fun made-up word, combining the words gibble and spink, both of which are also made up.&#8221;</p><p>Simultaneously parodying the proliferation of social networks and the dizzying array of specialized terminology that often comes with them, Gink goes off the deep end with an assortment of seriously delivered gibberish that would make Dr. Seuss proud.</p><p>Check out the video below &#8212; warning: some NSFW language included &#8212; and let us know what you think. Is Gink the next big thing?</p><p><center><br

Like, at all.</p><p>This mysterious character has quickly been dubbed a yo-yoing Andy Kaufman, which may explain his most recent tweet (that&#8217;s right he has a <a
href="https://twitter.com/zimzamyoyos" >Twitter</a> &#8212; dude is going all out with this joke).</p><p><center><img
