If you haven't chosen your Facebook username by now, your ideal name is probably gone.  You'll have to settle for something like "xxxangelxxx" or "greasyfingers".  I was boring and used my own name, but if you're looking to be more creative than you better grab it quick.

angry whopper Update:  Facebook has ditched Whopper Sacrifice due to privacy issues.  Link to article.

Burger King unveiled their new Angry Whopper which includes spicy crispy onions, jalapenos, pepper jack cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, and spicy Angry Sauce.  Jumping on the Facebook bandwagon, Burger King has developed a Facebook application called Whopper Sacrifice to help promote their spicy product.

So, how does it work?

If you want a free Whopper you need to ditch 10 of your Facebook friends.  The friends that you ditch will receive an alert informing them that you sacrificed their friendship for a stinkin' Whopper. 

Can you resist the power of the Whopper?

No Facebook? I'm quitting!

If Facebook was banned at your job would you consider quitting?  Apparently, some people would.

A recent survey by IT services provider Telindus found that a whopping 39 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds would consider leaving their jobs if a Facebook ban was imposed, reports vnunet.com. Another 21 percent said they’d feel “annoyed” by such a ban.
Those kids need a big kick in the pants.

Bank intern busted by Facebook

Kevin Colvin fairyKevin Colvin, a bank intern, had told his boss that he was missing a couple days of work due to a "family emergency".  Apparently, his boss checked out Colvin's Facebook page and found out that the "family emergency" was more like a Halloween party.  Colvin's boss passed this photo on to the rest of the office and, of course, is making the rounds on the the wonderful world wide web.  You can check out the email thread here.  Funny stuff.
