Would you sacrifice 10 friends for a Whopper?
Burger King, through their insanely creative advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky (see their recent Burger King perfume launch), launches a Facebook application that encourages users to remove Facebook friends. Sacrifice ten of them and you got a free Whopper. 233,906 friends were removed by 82,771 people in less than a week.

Of course! From what I've heard, there are a lot of people on Facebook that add friends they really don't know or have any other contact with, but I don't really know, because I don't use Facebook. They probably have safeguards against this, but I would go on a friend rampage, and then delete 10 whenever I feel hungry. To me, this sounds like a terrible idea for a company. But for me, it sounds pretty cool! Side: Hell Yeah!

I don't think you have to stop actually being friends with these people... You just have to delete them from your friends list. If that would completely constitute the termination of your friendship, then you really aren't very good friends with that person, are you? Side: Hell Yeah!
