I cannot decide if it is evil or awesome.

Nice. Now I may have a reason to approve all the people from high school who were once too important to care about me, but now vie for my "friendship" in this internet-style popularity content. That or they all want to be my friend because I am so awesome.

/oh yeah, and that "hot" chick is way below my standards, sharp knees and such

Until they realize the millions of college kids will just De-friend their friends and then instantly refriend them for a free meal.

It's awesome. Definitely awesome. It's also evil, and that's why it's awesome.

I am *THIS* close to creating a "Good God, your kids are ugly" page on FB.

Been catching up with A LOT of high school mates, & holy crap, their kids are ugly.

Especially the good looking ones I wanted to plook!

 
Chariset [TotalFark] 2009-01-07 10:24:22 PM  
Yeah, I can't understand all the people who never spoke a word to me in high school but want to get in touch with me now. Shoo.

I don't quite understand it myself? But I wonder if it's similar to how all the farkers don't care who you are normally, and then they all want to talk to you once they find out you're a girl.

/how you doing?

My parents are always trying to get me to tell my high school alumni association where I am. Hell no. I still know the people I want to know, the rest of them can do a little work to find me.

First it's "Whopper Virgins," and now it's "Whopper Sacrifice."

I think we have some Whopper Occultists in our midst.

"Sorry, [friend] prefers a bit of greasy fast food to the pleasure of your online company. Maybe you should put out more and show more cleavage in your profile picture. Better luck next time!"

Then you likely don't need any more Whoppers.

The amount of time it would take to de-friend, then refriend 10 people isn't worth the cost of the Whopper. Especially when there's a survey on the back of every receipt that's good for a free Whopper if you complete it. If you're that hard up for a Whopper, just pick up a receipt in the parking lot, call the survey number, and you're good to go.

I like this guy. He knows the easiest way to get free food AND he has pants made of cheese!

I don't mind dropping the 10 friends, but having to eat one of those nasty burgers would make me hurl.

Whoa, bet they didn't think of that. If you tell them, I bet they'll give you some money or a free whopper or something.

 
Sylvia_Bandersnatch 2009-01-08 02:43:48 AM  
First I'd have to set up on Facebook. Then I'd need to get ten friends.

 
kpottruff [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-01-08 02:44:34 AM  
I resolve to remove every woman I know who feels we have to see a beautiful picture of her pregnant belly.

Especially that one who keeps saying I have to "Man up" and "Pay my child support". Screw it I can use a whopper!

sloppy shoes: Until they realize the millions of college kids will just De-friend their friends and then instantly refriend them for a free meal. they've already gotten as much publicity as they can out of this stunt, but until it reaches that point, it's well worth the advertising dollars.

 
Chaussman 2009-01-08 02:52:51 AM  
Whoa! I love it! So deliciously evil.

 
chumleyuo 2009-01-08 02:58:26 AM  
Wow, this is deliciously evil. I never actually go to BK, but I might sacrifice 10 "friends" for the sake of hilarity.

Then after a little de-friending, it's burger time, my friend.

 
Gosling [TotalFark] 2009-01-08 03:10:24 AM

Befriend two people, and then become a disgruntled loner.

A disgruntled loner with a free Whopper.

 
Aeonic_Blue 2009-01-08 03:16:26 AM  
I've got to hand it Burger King. In the last couple of years, they've really developed a disturbing, subversive advertising arm. I mean, Subservient Chicken, Creepy King, shiatty cheap xbox games, and now this?

I'd love to shake the hand of the crazy motherfarker who okays this shiat. It's cute, and Burger King has become one of the few corporations who's ads I kinda dig.

Pity their food still sucks ass, though.

 
deadsanta 2009-01-08 03:39:12 AM  
Is it real? I can't find anything on BK's web site about it...

Then again, their website sucks. Link-Bk offical website (new window)

The time it takes to de-friend 10 people is far less than the time it takes to go through a survey.

5 minutes is well worth a $3 burger.

Ever try that survey? I did once, it takes freaking forever.

In fact, I'm still on the phone doing it and I started it back in June.

How about a SPONSORED TAG for these crap-ass links, filled with phony comments from ad agency employees?

/Fark selling out makes me sicker than a Whopper
//And those things always make you feel sick when you eat them

 
ErikShocker 2009-01-08 04:26:17 AM  
App added, 10 sacraficed. I didn't even finish reading the thread before I started burning those people. I'm especially happy that the app let's them know I deleted them for only a free whopper coupon, lets people know what "online friendship" really means.

 
myalias1845 2009-01-08 04:38:22 AM  
This thread is surprisingly full of win. Why is it in the Geek thread anyways?

Chalk up another vote for "awesome app" - Facebook isn't life, it's a distraction at best.

Hint: Burger King doesn't actually give a shiat if you have friends or not. Every time you go out of your way to become part of their advertising fest, an ad exec somewhere creams his pants.

Plus, what you're just going to get your free whopper and leave? Probably not. You're going to want fries and a drink. They probably come out even on that deal, or close to it.

Well that's the point...they will all get a message as to why they were de-friended. Free direct advertising

I am a general manager at a Burger King in Indiana, and let me tell you; eat enough "free" Whoppers and you won't have 10 friends to DE-friend...

/I'm fat...
