Facebook's developer platform has been used for a zillion marketing campaigns so far, but this one is actually dead-on hilarious.
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.
Burger King has put out some interesting campaigns as of late ("Whopper Virgin," "Subservient Chicken"), but this one piques our interest because of how gleefully it pokes fun at our social-networking obsessions. "Now is the time to put your fair-weather Web friendships to the test," the Whopper Sacrifice site explains. "Install Whopper Sacrifice on your Facebook profile, and we'll reward you with a free flame-broiled Whopper when you sacrifice ten of your friends.

Ha! I wonder what other coupons will become available as marketing strategies, and what the temptation will be.
-
Shit, I'll delete my momma, my daddy, and my greasy granny with holes in her panties just to get a free whopper.

That might be worth the sacrifice. I am sure I have 10 friends on facebook I don't need anymore. Whoppers are good. Free is even better. After the holidays I can use all the free I can get.
-
Whopper sacrifice?? Uh uh, no way. They'd have to pay me a lot to get me to go near a Whopper, not the other way around!
-
OK HERE I COME FACEBOOK. I WAS LOOKING FOR A GOOD REASON TO DELETE THEM ANYWAY!!!!!
-
Tori loves Whoppers!!!!

I don't want a Whopper, but their Veggie Burgers are actually pretty good. I wonder if they would make the substitution. Ten friends? Lets see, I've only got 18...who is going to get the axe?

This is stupid.
