Congrats, you turned 100. You lived through the Great Depression, World Wars I and II, and hammer pants, but Facebook doesn’t give a crap. Apparently, it stops counting age at 99. What’s with this disgusting ageism, Facebook?
A local news station in Detroit, US spotted a lady named Marguerite Johnson who is 104, but whose Facebook page is stuck at 99. She should get some kind of award for even being on Facebook. She’s old as hell. Where’s the respect, young Zuckerberg? Her granddaughter, who runs her page, says every time she’s tried to change the settings to the right year, Facebook gives her an unknown error message. It’s not just a quirk on her profile; if you try to change your own birthday to 100+ years ago, you’ll get the same result. Your consolation is that you didn’t have to live through ’30s music.

The Definitive History of People Hating Facebook's Redesigns
Do People Love Google+ Or Just Really Hate Facebook?
Do You Hate-Follow People on Social Media?
Facebook hates Old People, Old People hates Facebook.
Cosmic balance is achieved.
I dread to think how I’ll cope with new technology if I’m still around in 65 years time…
“Your consolation is that you didn’t have to live through ’30s music.”
I’d take a golden era of big band, swing and jazz over Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj any day!
They have lived through so many eras of music that are better than current mainstream music. Lucky people.
Still making mountains out of molehills I see. This is not “disgusting ageism” its Facebook’s version of the millennium bug. Someone, probably in the early days, didn’t think it was wasting the extra byte on a 3 digit age when every single user was in their 20′s.
Please cut the crap and stop trying to stir up controversy where none exists.
read the title and thought “here she goes again” *sigh*
“She’s old as hell”
“Where’s the respect”
Wait wut?
