A whopper costs like $2.99. That’s 29.9 cents per friend.

I know almost nothing about Facebook apps Ashley (I stopped using Facebook around the time apps were introduced, hopefully I’ve been ‘sacrificed’ to feed my old friends). But, I was assuming BK would use/sell the email addresses again in the future. So does BK actually get their hand on the email addresses?

Mmm… sounds like I’m about to get a whopper. By the way, @DOJ, Facebook allows applications to send users messages without knowing their email addresses.

I love how people are shocked that someone might DARE to delete their friends on Facebook “What will they think? Geez! I should call them, make sure they aren’t pained by the lack of my virtual friendship.”
I salute BK and it’s ambitious attempt at getting people to dump FB friends and get REAL ONES.

So right rabbit. I know I have at least 10 “friend-whores” on my account (I usually don’t refuse people unless they get annoying with posts or something). I think this totally fits right in with the bizarre promotional kick BK has been on since the advent of creepy/awesome King.

This is fantastic! There’s so many people who are “friend-promiscuous” who have added 100s of people but couldn’t remember a personal detail about them. This is a great way to take a swipe at the posers and get a free whopper.

Someone in that Ad department at BK hates FB.

Do they have this app for Myspace?

Agreed, Tempscire. I think this is awesome (probably becasue I’m something of a cynic, and not a facebook user).

Bwahahaha. I love the subtle misanthropy/weirdness inherent in all BK promotions these days.

P.S. This could be the end of face book, if everyone removes all their friends.

Can you only get one? I’ll delete all my friends and family for a stack of whopper coupons. They’d understand.

Well I’m in the process of cleaning out my facebook anyway! Why not get a free Whopper?

BK is thinking, “For the cost of one Whopper we can get ten email addresses”. They probably also value the free publicity this app will bring.

This is beyond tacky. That’s sickening. Of course it’s only a matter of time until people start gaming the system and adding ten friends just to dump them for a free Whopper.

But seriously, what the hell are BK thinking?
