Would you stop being Facebook friends with me for one of these free, flame-broiled calorie bombs?
I swear, most Facebook applications are dumb as crap. But I will admit, I definitely like a few of them and have benefited from them (Remember Food Friendzy? I was the 7th most paid person on all of Facebook. Yeah-yuh!), but really, some of them are just getting ridiculous.
So now, Burger King has come up with this “brilliant” idea. “Whopper Sacrifice” is an application that they came up with that essentially gives you the opportunity to obtain free Whoppers. Here’s the catch though: you need to sacrifice 10 Facebook friendships. So if you remove 10 friends, they send you a coupon for a free burger. Really? C’mon! I mean, okay, I guess it’s great if you have way too many friends on Facebook and many of them are people you barely even know (guilty!) and you want to weed out the creepers/people you friended just because they were hot. Run-on sentence or not, don’t deny that you didn’t add people that way; I know you have. But once you get rid of all those people, then what? How many burgers is it worth to actually take the time to remove people? And how would it make you feel to know that one of your so-called legit friends unfriended you just to get their hands on a burger? Honestly, I feel like a lot of my current Facebook friends would be getting a free meal if they knew about this application. But eh, I guess as long as they let me have a bite, that’s good enough.
And on a random note since when did Facebook become so legit in defining lives/friendships. I feel like I’ve had this conversation too many times:
Me: “Man, that girl is real cute, maybe I’ll go talk to her.”
Friend: “Nah man, she’s got a boyfriend.”
Me: “Well, is it Facebook official?”
Oh Facebook…how you’ve become part of our culture.
