World Governments Deems Liking Own Status A "Douche Maneuver"


In an emergency session of the United Nations General Assembly, the leaders of the world were unanimous in their decision to label liking your own Facebook status as a "douche maneuver". The world's governments came together in an unprecedented fashion to bring about this world-changing decision.
"From this point forward, writing up a status and then clicking like on it as if you were some sort of egotistical maniac bent on gaining approval, anyone's approval, even your own, will be known as a douche maneuver," Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations said following the vote which saw only France and the United States vote against it.
"The United States prides itself on its ability to like what it creates. We like the light bulb, the automobile and landing on the moon, so why can't we like our own witty comments about what we did that day?" said Susan Rice, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. "The United States cannot sit idly by waiting for someone to like what we write on Facebook, it is up to all Americans to get things started and clicking like on something we just wrote 15 seconds ago."
Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada had a different take on the whole matter.
"Why would you click like on your own status? You wrote the mother [censored] status, so why would you click like on it?" Harper asked while glancing down at his iPhone waiting to see if anyone liked his status about his brothers cat having kittens yet. "No, liking your own status is as bad as putting big decals on the back of your Mazda that say "MAZDA", having a barb-wire tattoo or putting truck-nuts on your truck."
Douche bags around the world however were outraged.
"Don't tread on me! Don't tell me I can't like my own status! It is freedom of speech, the 17th amendment people!" said Rufus T. Spalding, a native of Arkansas who has a poor understanding of his own constitutional amendments.
"AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE [censored] UN TELLING ME ITS NOT OKAY TO LIKE MY OWN STATUS!!!!!!!" said the status on Jessica Fransisco's Facebook wall. Fifteen seconds later, Fransisco clicked like. Whether this was done ironically, counter-culturally or simply because she is a douche is not known at this time.
Most around the world however, applaud the decision by the United Nations.
"I will click like on that resolution!" said Magovernor Tannenbalm after hearing the news and writing a quick status of satisfaction on his Facebook wall. "And my 89 Facebook friends can click like on that....but I won't be!"
Next up for the United Nations is a resolution asking that all people who take a photo of themselves with their phone in front of a mirror with their shirt off be classified as "f*cking 'tards"
