One of the questions more and more people are being forced to ask themselves is: how far would you go for a free hamburger? An application on Facebook from Burger King tries to answer just that question. If you defriend at least ten people on Facebook then Burger King will give you a free Whopper. Learn more about this application at Gizmodo.
This is a prime example of how warped our society's priorities have become. Just the fact that we can consider sacrificing the friendship of ten people for one Whopper is pathetic. The choice should be clear to everyone: a Whopper is much more valuable than ten friends. Just ask yourself: "What would I rather eat-ten of my friends or a hamburger?" Now you should understand why everyone in their right mind would quickly diss ten of their friends for a Whopper.
Perhaps some people feel sentimental and do not want to make anyone feel bad by defriending them. Let me just remind you that this is not permanent. You can easily send that person another friend request and just explain to them why it was necessary for you to defriend them. There is also a chance that you have very explosive friends who can't handle the thought of you paying them the least disrespect and will become angry or even violent if you defriend them. If this is the case, you should probably defriend them-Whopper or no Whopper-and then run away and try to avoid them for the rest of your life.
