Fast-food chain Burger King has created "Whopper Sacrifice," a Facebook app that will give you a coupon for a free hamburger if you delete 10 people from your friends list.

 

The funniest part: The "sacrifices" show up in your activity feed. So it'll say, for example, "Caroline sacrificed Josh Lowensohn for a free Whopper." Unfortunately, you can't delete your whole friends list and eat free (however unhealthily) for a week. The promotion is limited to one coupon per Facebook account.

I don't know what to say except that that is just plain sick and weird. If I had a soul left, I might be prompted to react to this sort of thing in some way.

Two problems.

 

1. I don't have a Facebook account.

 

2. I don't have any friends.

No whopper for you!

The fact that this made it to a football message board doesn't shed some light?
