A Whopper Sacrifice? Don't you just love it? Whats next? Waterboarding Colonel Sanders for a bucket of chicken? In case you haven't heard, but I'm sure many of you have, especially you Facebook users. Burger King is offering a free whopper if you download an a Facebook application and then delete 10 of your friends!! Hmmm...kind of an interesting tradeoff don't you think?
I can picture people at 2 in the morning, hungry, sitting in front of the machine going...
Ok..Him...yup....maybe her because she was bitchy the last time we talked. Oh Boy, only eight more to go and I eat! And besides, are they really my friends, and would they buy me a Whopper?
What a test for our social networking craze. At times we all seem to be in a contest as to how many "friends" we can collect. Think about it for a second and maybe you will see how ridiculous it really is.
The fun part in all of this is that each sacrifice will show up in your Facebook activity feed. Imagine logging in and seeing.."John sacrificed Mary for a free Whopper"
This to me is absolutely hilarious.
Burger King must have a group of mad scientists hidden away in a basement somewhere to come up with these ideas. Truthfully, I would be curious to see the sales results from this Whopper Sacrifice campaign, wouldn't you?
All I want to know, is when will somebody come up with A Lobster Sacrifice?..hmmmmm..maybe I should write a few letters.

Well personally, I think that a whopper and all its calories isn't worth alienating 10 friends on facebook. I don't understand what Burger King thinks will be positive out of this? That people will taste the burger and go back to eating them? Or that those who were dumped as friends will be motivated to go buy one? Weird contest.
