Why do people make stupid fan pages on Facebook?

[Gator]

One page is starting the rumor that Facebook is becoming a pay site in July 2010 . Another fan page I hate cigarettes is unmonitored and is full of trolls, spammers, and A*holes that post links to send worms and trojans to other users ?
There are over 2 million people that are a fan to that page, and Face book just keeps this stipud page unmonitored.

boredom, really.

These people are bored. Almost every group you join will say "I created this page two months ago because I was bored at work", or something similar. It is out of control and will never stop. The names are getting more ridiculous. I am a fan of "I hate Cigarettes" and yes, I've seen all the spam and chain-comments. It's getting dangerous.

It takes about 30 seconds to create one and in days there can be thousands of fans. My guess is that these people need some attention and if they have a million fans they feel important. It's all pretty much useless boredom and time going to waste.
