PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in May of 2013. Managing the site has become too stressful.
“Facebook has gotten out of control,” reportedly said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”
Zuckerberg reportedly went on to explain that starting May 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts. That gives users (and Facebook addicts) a year to adjust to liwithout Facebook.
“After May 15th, 2013 the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back after Facebook goes out of business.”
Zuckerberg said the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.
“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview to a source close to a friend. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

Hurray! Good riddance. Next… Cell phones and I pads!!
This story is about as real, as all the others on this site. I come here to laugh at idiots! Keep it up!
I can live without Fb, Ive been going out jogging and doing things that are going to help me in life. Like going to school and working. Yes im not going to lie i will miss it. But what happend to the oldtimes when friends called eachother? Or u can always go to the messenger chat. Thats always fun.
Hoax I still can open facebook Now!
Well I think it for the best! So I like the idea that you want to do it I respect it
I know u didn’t delete Facebook u damn lier. I tired of hearing rumors about Facebook.i hate Facebook.u make millions of dollars u will never deleted Facebook.
well I think it's gone
Yes i agree damn liars……WTF
Same shit as the 2012 hoax. Idiots. -_-
Well i cant get on right now
Its already 16th May and u havent end facebook on 15th may so please can you stop this rubbish and this rumours are so boring to read. I want you to stop saying facebook will end because it never will.
I don't think they will shut down facebook. I don't see any reason why they have to..
Okay, if this report is a hoax, then tell me why I can't get onto Facebook? I could not get on this afternoon, and I still can't get on. None of my browsers will even go to the home page, much less my own page. So, is this a bad thing? We still have other social sites. I don't really care about Facebook per se; I think it has generated a lot of psychological problems in people. Anonymous "friends" aren't really friends at all, and people who think they are friends are delusional. Now, they will have to go outside and and find some real friends — people who will accept them as they are, and they won't be able to hide behind an avatar anymore! Real long-distance friends and relatives will have to keep touch by email, chat, instant messenger, and the old-fashioned way: the telephone. My only gripe is that I have a thriving city on CityVille, and I have no idea how to access it! Plus, I worked pretty hard putting up picture albums, and I did back in touch with two friends from high school.
This rumor is childish
So far so good its still going strong
how could they shut it down ?? there is far to many with private shares now 
How did this work out?
Oh no, now maybe I have to go outside, make friends and ride that thing with two wheels and pedels…
if this is true why is facebook still on
There is always msn, yahoo, skype and the list goes on
Skype! chat & vid call for free.
GET HIS EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER AND HOME ADDRESS. FACEBOOK DOES NOT KEEP YOUR CONNECTION ALIVE WITH YOUR DAD IT ONLY HELPED!
It's funny people forget Email for godsake or even fucking male.. FUCK!

This is a site which makes up crazy stories to post for laughs. They sometimes write about things like an alien and Bigfoot having a litter of babies and then selling them for top dollar to A-listers. I don't think that exact article has ever been written, but I've seen things similar to that before.
Contact your dad through skpe or oovoo
my dad lives across the country and i see him evry4 years so i get it, it really stinks
yeah, and aim, gmail. dont feel bad! i garantee you'll be able to continue contacting your father.

Why shut down facebook? I think you must not focus for those people disturbed or dislikes fb because they are only few. While almost 90% of people using fb likes this site coz it connects you with friends and family at it’s Best. I would be sad that this thing is happening. Hihuhu I hope zuckerburg can read this…. Coz fb help me alot… Peace be with you! And Godbless!
I agree helped me too I recently found my sisters tht I didn’t kno I had so I think Facebook Is useful
And you can’t forget about the marketing empire it is. Not just a social network its more than that now. Dude, get a manager to stress on it, mr billionair who sayd YOU hafta run it? U can tell he’s just a kid now!
Thank you. I see sarcasm (or whatever you want to call it) written all over that article. I’m not taking this serious. It’s funny how it pokes fun of people not having a life because of facebook. Lol.
