For a moment I contemplated turning this into a Burger King only blog, that would make my life easier and lower expectations from recurring visitors. But that seems a bit too lazy though...
Far from making any promise, I am looking for a way to breathe some life into this blog again for 2009, but to start of the year here's Whopper Sacrifice.
As usual they seem to be spot on again: This might be the year people suddenly realise they run out of real friends because they're too busy throwing virtual sheep at people they befriended to up their status in whatever social network you can think of. The phenomenon is installed, now let's try and turn the quality up to 11 (but then it's still the interweb, so 7 might have to do) by trimming the contact pool. They're probably doing Facebook a service with actions like these, so who's next?
I'm still very sorry there is no Burger King nearby, otherwise this would have been quite an easy decision...

I agree! Eventhough I am a Whopper "virgin" myself, these campaigns make me very curious...

There's supposed to be one in Belgium. In the Nato complex or something like that, a comment on this blog once mentioned it (but I don't readily find it now).
And if you ever pass through Schiphol there's one as well. There's a few copycat initiatives (like Ketchup in Ghent) but they just don't make em like they do ;-)...

Facebook didn't like the action apparently. After 234.000 sacrificed friends, BK is calling it a day. Tss :-)
