Wow, how superficial has advertising become? Hopefully, your fb friends are your friends in real life...and if they are not, it really shouldn't concern you on what they think about you

Nice post.
I agree, people know who their "real friends" are and don't have a problem with these "fake" online friends. Nothing new there.
With profile pictures, the user chooses what pictures to put up, so they are usually all good shots. Clearasil would have been better taking the approach of people untagging those embarrassing pictures that your mates tag you in (as your "fake mates" would surely post ugly pictures of you to make themselves look better) ;)
Something like: 'So use Clearasil to get rid of the spots and you won't have to worry about your mates tagging spotty pictures of you ever again'.

The distance is what which separates the physical being.
