Tell your friends they're worth one-tenth of a Whopper to you
Posted on Fri Jan 9 2009
Would you sacrifice a friend for a Whopper? Burger King hopes so. All you have to do is cut 10 friends from your Facebook list, and you get a coupon for a free Whopper. Your friend gets a message saying they've been "sacrificed." Swift. Brutal. Darwinian.
Facebookers are into the idea. More than 55,000 friends have been unfriended so far, according to WhopperSacrifice.com, and the number keeps rising. But wait—isn't the whole point of Facebook to grow your network of friends rather than offering them up to the Burger King god? And if your list is getting too long, wouldn't you rather cut someone quietly than proclaim to the world that they're worth less than a Whopper to you?
Here's an easier way of paring down your list: Post one of those freaky "Wake up with the King" ads on your profile, and watch your friends unfriend themselves.
