Rome was the daughter of one Mark ZuckenFark, who in the midst of his undergraduate days created a social networking website that became incredibly popular. With the extraordinary timing of a man hit by a car in the Nevada desert, this website captured America and became ingrained into everyday life. He called it facepage and from its very inception it was an instant success. ZuckenFark tried to hide his true identity on the social site by simply making his last name Facepage and welcoming new members by automatically linking to their profile. After several years, millions of users, and a few lawsuits later, it ended up being more convenient for ZuckenFark to simply change his last name to Facepage. His business grew thanks to illegal downloading and sophisticated phone cameras that slowly eroded the foundations of the music, television, and movie business. Advertisers eventually had no choice but to shop their wares on the exclusive and influential Facepage site. How else would anyone know a movie existed or that your band had a good song, but to post it on Facepage for their exorbitant fees? They also employed several innovative marketing ploys such as charging users for deactivating their accounts rather than at activation and not sending junk mail, ever. Over time, Facepage accumulated a massive amount of wealth, a gorgeous wife, and an autobiography (You’ll Be Back, Douchebags!) that you could download a copy of for $4.99. Such is the way empires are formed. In the midst of this wealth and power, Rome Facepage was born on April 14th, 1999.
