Feeling the heat from the indignant masses who have been protesting the Facebook's decision to contaminate its virgin collegiate domain with the abbreviated ramblings of high school students, Mark Zuckerberg finally broke the silence with a response:
Hey, Facebook understands that some of you may be upset that high school and college students can now interact. We did this because a lot of people asked for it and we wanted to make it even easier for you to communicate with your friends. We realize that friendship is not restricted to a particular stage of school and we decided to stop dividing people based on what grade they were in.

One Bwogger realized today his 14 year old sister was interested in "Men." Not boys, but "Men." Sometimes, separate but equal really IS separate but equal. But then again, now Bwog won't have as much trouble finding a date.

Hat tip to Bwog correspondent John Klopfer.

Full text of Facebook's response after the jump.


In a move that went entirely unnoticed this week except by the Splog and college freshmen, the Facebook let high schoolers and college students be friends. Lydia DePillis weighs in.

In the beginning, there were two worlds. And then they were one, and the Lord rested.

I hope.

This whole high school kids on facebook thing is a little too much
for me to handle. It's only been up two days and I've been friended by
like 8 people. I suppose they've had it for a while, but at least I
didn't have to SEE how pathetic the average high schooler's life is,
and now I yearn for that precious veil of ignorance.

So, Bwog was busy late into the night looking for a suitably sexy photo of Lee C. Bollinger to blow up for our currently Bollinger-less dorm room wall. And that's when we came upon an old Gothamist post that proves, inconclusively, that Lee Bollinger and Polish director Roman Polanski were separated at birth! It's uncanny...though Lee's a bit bustier. And he's not a pedophile.
