swap 10 friends for a free whopper


2 articles on new york times inspired me to blog over chinese new year holidays.





Burger King has created an ad campaign on facebook where you get a free Whopper for severing friendship with 10 of your friends. The idea sprung up for people who felt they have too many people on their friend lists.  This campaign motivates you with a burger, sifting out those who haven't contacted for years or those only met once at a party. On your activity feed it will say "You have been sacrificed by Mary for a free Whopper". I get paranoid when too many random people pry into my life. Oversharing is not my strength (unlike BabyBri). Looking forward to a Lan Fong Yuen ad campaign where I get to sacrifice someone for peanut butter + condensed milk toast.  

Another article was a new support group created in New York called Dating a Banker Annoymous (yes, only in New York). For the fellow girlfriends / wives / ex-wives whose got their bergdorf budget cut off or having to deal with over stressed partner. Honestly, there is only one thing I want to say: suck it up! Count your blessings that money can't buy.
