I’m sure that if you watch television you have seen how the corporate monger Burger King is spreading their corporate poison in unsuspecting under developed countries and villages through their ”Whopper© Virgins” series.  Everyone is well aware of the predatory nature of the corporate mongers on unsuspecting people when they are promoting their goods so it isn’t surprising or even newsworthy at this point.

However fair is fair and Burger King has really come up with something spectacularly fresh and I must give them the accolades they are due for it.  If you are a Facebook user (which as I pointed out yesterday there are 150 million of them) then you have an opportunity to do both some social networking cleaning AND get a free Whopper©.  Going directly against the trend of ”add me”, ”follow me”, and ”friend me” with a new gimmick that will surprise and amaze you in both its simplicity and its novelty.

The gimmick is called Whopper© Sacrifice.  The twist is that it is a Facebook app that will reward you with a free Whopper© if you “sacrifice” a measly 10 friends.  How do you “sacrifice” your friends?  Following the 3 steps instructed in the app, you remove them as one of your friends and then notify them (even though Facebook says they will not be notified, they are!) through the app that while you may like them… you love the Whopper©!  Who else would reward you for actually getting rid of friends… who in reality are probably not friends at all!

Of course, gratification is not instant.  Once you sacrifice your 10 friends the app takes you to a web form to fill out so they can mail you a coupon… and there is a limit of only one coupon per person no matter how many friends you offer up to the fires of broiling…

Yes… I sacrificed Cereal Wednesday for a 760 calorie Whopper with Cheese.  Man cannot live on cereal alone dammit!

They better not charge me extra for the cheese.
