On Friday, with Facebook experiencing some downtime, we asked you “When Facebook Goes Down, What Should its Fail Whale Look Like?,” a reference to the iconic Twitter fail whale you see when the microblogging service is having technical difficulities.
We received a lot of great submissions in the comments, but had to narrow it down to two winners for the $25 iTunes gift certificates. Without further ado, here they are, with a bunch of honorable mentions after the jump:

Seanford: A burglar’s eye mask you can print, cut out and ware to conceal your identity as you are going to have to stalk you ex-girlfriend from her bushes now instead of on-line.
Marni: They should sell advertising on this page at a super high CPM! Maybe they’ll be the first ads on FB to see major success?
Elliot: it should be a phishing page for myspace, and if anyone logs in, or registers, they should delete their facebook account.
Nicki: I believe that we should stay in the world of the big animals, so Facebooks fail whail should be a sleeping dinosaur that is about to get hit by an asteroid. why? Well because just like the dinosaurs is Facebook to big and clumsy to do anything about the fail / asteroid that is about to hit them when the users finds out that Facebook don’t have a 99% uptime.
If you’re one of the top two, please get in touch so we can send you your prize!
