190,000 friends are worth less than a piece of meat

Would you choose a free hamburger over your online friends? That's a question Burger King is hoping to answer. The fast food chain has created a Facebook application that gives users in the US a free hamburger coupon of they get rid of 10 friends from the social networking website.

The application will then send the dumped friends an email letting them know they were sacrificed for a piece of beef.

So far, at least 190,000 friends have been sacrificed for a free lunch according to Burger King.

Editor's note: Talk about cannibalism! 10 friends are worth less than a piece of meat.
