Comments on: Delete 10 Facebook friends, get a free Whopper

Fast-food chain Burger King's new Facebook application will give you a coupon for a free burger if you start trimming that friends list. What it won't do: trim your waistline.

I'd rather drop Facebook- which is just what I did this morning and I'm urging my friends to do the same. There's lots of other cyber interface modalities out there. This is a stupid marketing move.

So the take home message is a whopper is worth 10 facebook losers?

Thanks, Caroline, for the humorous lift for the day. I'm typically on FaceBook to socially market my safety and security web site so I'm not trading any of my "friends" for a whopper. They're worth more to me than a heart attack on a bun anyday!

Again another negative Burger King campaign. I guess I need to write to them again. Last time I wrote was about the Kill the King commercials.

Sorry. I have a problem with advertising that says hurt someone else to satisfy yourself. I'm in advertising, so I think I have a right to say it. But I feel everyone should complain when they see this type of thing. Advertising is insidious. It's a form of brainwashing. So when there is something repeated... like the candy commercial where the kid is thinking how he can get rid of his friends so he can have the candy all to himself... it puts a message in the subconscious to be hateful, don't share - even with friends.

My apologies for my tirade. I find most advertising is produced by imbeciles who never left the playground.

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Wait a minute, looks like Facebook just took it down http://whoppersacrifice.com/

So Facebook killed the app. If you try to install the app you will get a message screen from Burger King.
"Burger King Sacrifice has been sacrificed"
