Whopper Sacrifice

So what is more to celebrate a new blog than with a free whopper? Burger King has recently launched a hilarious campaign on facebook. This campaign is called “Whopper Sacrifice” and it is somehow a test to see how far a person would go to get a free whopper. Basically what you would need to do is to delete 10 friends from your facebook in exchange for a free whopper. Once you’ve ’sacrificed’ a friend, there will be a post on your profile saying that you have sacrificed so and so for a free whopper and there is no way for you to remove that posting, lol.

It is possibly one of the best campaign I’ve ever seen on facebook. Now that I’ve posted this, I wonder how many of my friends will sacrifice me for a free whopper…

I promise my next post will be Flash/Actionscript related as planned…however there is a reason for this post as well. Facebook has been growing strong with the implementation of its applications, and although there are alot of applications that basically does nothing, it has still grown a popularity among users. I am actually working on a facebook application as well so I’ll be posting a tutorial about how you could implement Flash content into a facebook application some time in the future.

So let’s start sacrificing your friends now for a free whopper!

Update: Facebook has disabled the campaign. 233,906 friendships were sacrificed for free whoppers, good job. For those who have been sacrificed, time for some revenge
