Life (and Facebook) needs a Dislike button

If you're like me (we all have to have dreams) you come across a lot of stupid shit during the course of the day. A lot of stuff where you're like WTF was that? BUT....because we just had a visit from the Pope, everyone is all on their best behavior, no cursing, no judging, blah blah blah. Whatever, he seems like a chill papal dude, so I'm not going to worry about it. (I know this part about the Pope seemed really random, but I felt like if I didn't mention it, my Nona would come back from the grave and haunt me)
Anyhow, my point, yes I have one. I think that Facebook most certainly needs a Dislike button and even though they are too "politically correct" to give us what we fucking want, I think life needs a Dislike button. I mean, think about this. If you could carry around a method to express your displeasure with things, without really verbalizing it or seeming too "judgy" wouldn't that just make your fucking day? Come on, you know it would. It would be like a present day Gong Show, (and fuck you if you don't know what the Gong Show is/was) except with a Dislike button. I would be fine if the button didn't even make any noise, if it just kind of hovered over your head like those cartoon dialogue bubbles do. Like I said, no verbalizing your Dislike of the subject matter, but people will know where you stand.
There really is no down side to this, because even if you are for some stupid reason confronted by some fucking moron on your Dislike, you can just feign ignorance. "What is that you say? My Dislike button is on? You don't say? My Bad". See, it solves ALL of the world's problems. Really, all of them. You know exactly where everyone stands on things, you get to express yourself on EVERY subject possible should you so choose, AND, you can really be like your own little portable social network. I have put a lot of thought into this, and by a lot, I mean the car ride back from the supermarket by my house, and this could really be helpful in business situations as well. How many times have you been in a conference room and wondered what everyone is thinking during your presentation? With the Dislike button, you know and can just cut it short and make it a half work day. Time saver!
And imagine the entertainment industry with the Dislike button. If you thought TSwift's Twitter wars were epic, can you even imagine the feuds this puppy would cause? Tots McGots!!! 

I know you are probably wondering how it is I continue to come up with these socially aware, life changing and mostly EPIC concepts, and my only answer is, it's a gift. So instead of pasting that stupid shit disclaimer that doesn't mean SHIT....paste this instead. I feel like after he finishes with the Hypeloop, Elon Musk is going to have some free time. He can come up with something to make this work.
And Mark Zuckerberg this is what I think of your new stupid buttons: DISLIKE
