Poor old Facebook.
If people aren't having a go at them for their privacy policies (which happens an awful lot), then it's for giving people in Teesside syphilis.
In fact, it seems that if you have a problem, no matter how unrelated to Facebook it is - then blame Facebook anyway.
An article over at the Telegraph has put together a list of problems that people have blamed Facebook for.
The ludicrous list of problems supposedly caused by the social networking site includes divorce, child suicide, introversion, jealous partners, crime, self-loathing, compromises to national security, the death of traditional sayings and rickets.
If you need cheering up, have a browse through and laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

When should you not blame Facebook? People are so quick to blame Facebook, in fact, that they often get it wrong.

So, next time you have a problem, think twice about blaming Facebook - it's quite possible that it isn't their fault.
Instead, I recommend going on Jeremy Kyle.
