Whopper Sacrifice: Is Zuckerberg Afraid of Be Unfriended for a Burger?

I love it. I absolutely love the Whopper Sacrifice app. What a creative, counter-culture driven application that puts a playful and sinister twist on our oh-so-coveted social networks. Burger King has successfully exposed the darker side of Facebook and like the pseudo-ignoble, highly creepy and skulking "King," the app is one that people either seem to love or hate.

Facebook just recently announced their disapproval of Whopper Sacrifice. Luckily, my counter-culture heroes over at Burger King responded with this simple but pointed image:


Bravo!

It looks like Mr. Zuckerberg has been outwitted this time. In my opinion, Mark would have nothing to worry about if, as you'll hear from any Facebook staffer, friendships on Facebook are more sincere than MySpace and more reflective of real-world social circles. Apparently not, because Facebook users seem to be plenty willing to sever their social connections for a hamburger.

Keep up the good work, King.
