Strange Promotion, Burger King.

I just read that apparently Burger King is having a really weird online promotion. It's an application for Facebook called, "Whopper Sacrifice." Once you install it, if you delete 10 friends from your 'Friends' list, you get a coupon for a free Whopper. It's kind of mean-spirited:

Each time you delete a 'friend' from your massively cluttered list, the application sends a notification to the banished party via Facebook's news feed explaining that your desire for a Whopper is stronger than your love for the unlucky former 'friend.' The application also adds a box on the user's profile page charting their progress toward the free burger with the line, "Who will be the next to go?"

My thoughts, of course, immediately turned to Dan Demetriou. This has Demetriou written all over it, if he had a FaceHop. It combines two things he loves! (A) Free nourishment and (B) putting his own desires over his friends'. I can see the imaginary news feed on Facebook now:

• Dan Demetriou is no longer friends with anyone.
• Dan Demetriou just got 10 Free Whoppers!
