There is always something annoying on Facebook that it seems like the same 100 friends have to join in on every damn time. A week ago all of my friends turned into giraffes, and here lately they have all turned into cartoon characters. Bitstrips are the reason your grown-up Facebook feed now looks like the wall of an elementary school's art room. Here is how to block them so you only see people bitching about how horrible their life is... 

The marketing material for the "customisable avatar-creation tool" claims 20 million people, or just under the population of Australia, have already used the app.

Funny thing is, you get to create your own "lookalike," so almost all of my friends anyway, look to have lost about 100 pounds in cartoon form, and many have grown into Tom Brady clones all of a sudden.

Quite honestly I would rather see selfies of most of my friends in cartoon form rather than in REAl form, so I am ok with the whole Bitstrip craze. Bitstrips is pretty weird. But then again, so are status updates. And tweets. And Instagram posts. When they invent the block all status updates that "goodnight, I'm going to bed." or other stupid/meaningless sh** like that, I am on board. But for those of you who feel the need to block Bitstrips, here is how...

In Facebook Account Settings, go to “Manage Blocking”.

Scroll to “Block Apps”, and type in “Bitstrips”.

Alternately, if you see a Bitstrip in your feed, click the arrow to the right of it, and select ‘Hide All’.
