Ha, Facebook translates Spanish birthday greetings into “Fuck you bitches”. That’s how they roll.

Of all the instances of things slipping through the cracks or someone “going out with a bang”, Facebook’s July 29th 2010 snafu will forever stay in my memory. The snafu, discovered by a TechCrunch reader, apparently involved (note the past tense — Facebook has already fixed the glitch) a small issue when changing your Facebook profile’s main language to Spanish. Up in the top right where birthdays are announced, the words “Fuck you bitches” resided instead.

Not exactly the Happy Birthday we’re used to. But in the spirit of a good laugh, I can certainly appreciate Facebook’s attempts to make me laugh. It was fun while it lasted guys…
