Don't Bother Trying To Make Memorial Day Plans Over Facebook

Facebook’s spam filter accidentally blocked users from messaging the phrase “what are you guys doing this weekend?”

This is America, folks, and that means that today, on the Thursday before Memorial Day weekend, we JUST realized we have a 3-day weekend and completely forgot to make any plans. So now we're scrambling, trying to find at least a BBQ to haul our patriotic asses to and chug some Bud Light Limes after a beach trip falls through and we shrug that May isn't really warm enough for swimming anyway.

So to make those half-assed last minute plans, we take to Facebook to group message our friends. Because it is our American right to do this the half-assed way.

Unfortunately, Facebook is being overloaded by so many lazy Americans in search of a BBQ that the phrase What's everyone doing this weekend? has been flagged as potential spam due to so many people typing it in Messenger at the same time.
